Want to make your own pony tail! I used to get sick of
hearing that statement made by my stepmother who would do my hair everyday.
What do you want today, pony tail, or piggy tails? Do you want high ones
or low ones? Such choices to make over your hair I thought.
As much as she had to do my hair, which meant getting up earlier than normal,
some mornings she would be in a foul mood because she was tired or just did not
want to do it.
Which meant that while the hair process was being done she would pull my hair so
tight I would look as if I had just walked in on the surprise of my life with my
eye brows pulled back like a onion skin. How funny it is now to think of
all those days when my scalp would hurt all day. Besides that, it always had a
bump in the hair, and it was not to my liking. But, who was I? I was not the one
fixing my hair as she always had to point out to me.
After much thought, and very hard work. I made my own pony tail and here is how you can achieve it also!
•
Start with wet or dry hair.•
A couch or low back chair. (No kitchen chair, until experienced)•
A brush•
Pony- tail tie or fabric covered scrunches type. (NO RUBBER BANDS!)
|

|
Start with your hair lifted up to go over the back of the couch or chair. Hold the tie in your mouth, take the brush and start to brush your hair to the middle of the couch or chair, like a small pile try to get the hair as close as possible.
|
|
Drop the brush at this point. With the tie in your hand, try and get four fingers in the band. Thumb, pointer, middle finger and ring finger. Gather the hair into the ponytail while your fingers are still in the tie. Pull the ponytail into the tie.

while hair is in the tie, wiggle fingers out except one finger (whatever one becomes comfortable, pointer finger is for me)
Lean forward slightly let your hair fall on the back of your back. While you
’re still holding the ponytail sit back with your hair on the back of the chair or couch and then repeat the process of pulling the hair through to make it snug.Quick up
"do’s"To make a fast up do, start with hair fastener first, I highly recommend the ones with the teeth. Hold that in you your mouth, (not recommended for those with loose teeth.) Take your hair at the base of your neck. Lean backwards while the hair looks as thought it were floating in the air. Grab the hair, twist it around until it is at a comfortable tightness. Lean on the entryway of a door. This helps hold the hair in place. Take the holder out of your mouth, place on the twisted part of the hair. Place the holder as close to where you started. This ensures that it is a tight fit.
Let me say that you will struggle with this for a short time. You are going to want to throw something, cry and scream. And I say go ahead! It does help until you get the coordination down.
