Ponytails With Pony-O: Get Rid of Your Hair Ties!

October 4, 2018

Get Rid of Your Hair Ties!!!

Whether you’re heading to the gym or to work, reaching out for an elastic hair tie seem to be the quickest way to tame our hair and keep it out of our faces. In fact, this has become so routine that it's a habit for most of us. You may think hair ties are completely harmless, but they actually cause considerable damage to your hair.

Have you noticed how much hair is on your elastic every time you undo your ponytail? For some, the pain and struggle of removing their hair tie is real! There are a lot of reasons why we should stop using these monsters and save our hair, but completely giving up hair ties has never been an option! Until now! Pony-O is THE new, revolutionary hair accessory that won't damage or pull your hair!

Are Traditional Hair Ties Really Bad for Your Hair and Health?

The answer is a resounding "Yes"! While hair ties seem to be the quickest and best option for a hassle free and go-to style, they constantly pull your hair and follicle, cause breakage (especially in fine hair), and lead to hard-to-repair damage. Feeding your hair back and forth through an elastic until it's super tight, creates dents and creases in every hair type, especially in wet hair. As the elastic tightens around your ponytail, the damage is unavoidable.

While it may not be common knowledge, there is a condition associated with tight ponytails called an “extracranial headache”. Constant, excessive pulling and tugging of the hair triggers the nerves underneath our hair follicles which then results in the development of headaches, aka "the ponytail headache". And the number one culprit: very tight ponytails.

According to the National Institute of Health, 50 of 93 females questioned in a study experienced headaches from wearing a ponytail, and the pain was experienced at the site of the hair tie. The headache was determined to be preventable by wearing the ponytail more loosely tied.

Another condition resulting from overly tight ponytails is "tension alopecia" or "traction alopecia". Wearing your ponytail so tight for a prolonged period of time, in an elastic, literally can pull your hair from its follicle.

Why torture your hair with archaic elastics and hair gadgets? The risk of permanent hair damage and headaches just isn't worth it! The Pony-O is different from any other hair accessory on the market.

Zero Damage

What more can you ask for a than hair accessory that allows you wear a ponytail with no damage at all? The revolutionary design of Pony-O gives you a secure ponytail without pulling on your follicle, because it actually is holding your hair. It won't crease your hair, and causes no damage or breakage, because you only feed your hair through the Pony-O ONCE, and shape it. And because you're shaping the Pony-O to YOUR hair, it will hold fine or thick hair all day.

Keeps Your Ponytails Up All Day

Pony-O is up to any challenge, whether it's work or play! With Pony-O’s secure but comfortable grip, your ponytail will stay up all day, and feels like nothing in your hair!

Waterproof & Sweatproof

Pony-O is coated in a soft silicone; not only is it super comfortable, but it's also waterproof and sweat proof! Our coating is never affected by chlorine, sweat or salt water, so it doesn't matter if you're drenched in sweat, or taking a swim in the ocean. Pony-O holds well in wet hair, but it's also easy to remove: open the Pony-O back into its circle shape, and it slides right out! No hair comes with it!

Designed to Provide Extreme Comfort

One distinct difference between the Pony-O and a hair elastic is the way you put it in your hair.

Using your thumb and forefinger only, pull your hair through the Pony-O.
Holding it close to your head, flatten and squeeze the Pony-O.
Using your thumbs, bend the ends down SEPARATELY to secure your ponytail. DO NOT BEND THE PONY-O ONCE IN THE MIDDLE. If you want a tighter hold, bend the ends a little more.

TIP: For a more secure hold, bend the ends a little more. If you pull on your ponytail to tighten it, that will open and loosen the Pony-O.

Super easy! Super comfortable! Super secure! No tugging or pulling.
