That was my main goal, get my ponytail to have a little more volume and life to it! Mission accomplished! ✔️ It did crease my hair a little bit when I wore it up ALL day long, but nothing major that I couldn’t brush out. And this is nothing I wouldn’t get from a normal hair tie anyways. So this wasn’t a deal breaker!

The bling ringz were the nicest surprise, for me. I wasn’t expecting much, other than a way to dress the bands up a bit. But I found that some of them provided extra tension to some of my Pony-Os when they weren’t feeling quite as secure. The magnetic clasps are pretty impressive. It would loosen as the day went on and I’d have to tighten it but it wasn’t too tight which definitely helps with the no headache.

I will admit…my first attempt at using the Pony-O Hair Accessories was difficult and it didn’t work out the first time. I’d glanced at the instructions, but I’m a hairstylist, so I figured that having the basic idea was enough. I was wrong…you should definitely follow their tips for best use!

You pull your hair through and flatten the band around your hair, then bend the sides to secure it instead of wrapping like a normal hair tie. Received bands, they do not hold in place. Actually they do for about 10 minutes ONLY if I’m inactive! Any activity and my hair falls immediately. I have a head full of fine hair so I only wore while outside when it got hotter, months after I received it. I did the recommended bend in different spots YET the metal material inside busted through. I can’t attest to the non damage side, but I can’t attest to the fact that it does NOT stay put. Then the topper was the customer service experience below; It kept it in place, but I didn’t get that snug fit like I was hoping for. Granted this could just be me and my weird need to make sure it’s secure but who knows.

3. Healthier hair

Overall this product did give life and perkiness to my ponytail, which is what I was mainly looking for, so it did what it is advertised to do. I def expected something lighter and more finesse with better quality, but instead just some sort of cheap made in China stuff one can buy in 1 dollar shops. Not sure how long this elasticity will last since I assume the elastic metal inside of this hair tie will break soon. One of the main reasons I wanted to try them is because my hair is prone to breakage, and not a single elastic I have tried has ever come out of my hair without taking some with it. I wanted a way to pull my hair up without constantly ripping it out. The Pony-Os do not tangle my hair or snag it, and my hair is easy to comb through after removing them. It’s a MUCH gentler alternative to any other ponytail holder I’ve tried.
