To tie your hair around a hair tie, you don't actually tie the hair. Instead, you use a section of your hair to cover the elastic band. Here's how, based on information from a YouTube video:
Covering an Elastic with Hair
The video referenced, titled "How To Cover An Elastic With Hair - 3 Very Easy & Different Ways To Do It", explains how to conceal the hair tie. The following method was discussed in the video:
- The Topsy Tail Method:
- After securing your ponytail with a hair tie, avoid pulling it down too tightly
- Take a small section of hair from underneath the ponytail and wrap it around the hair tie multiple times until the elastic is fully hidden.
- Use a Topsy Tail tool or, if you don't have one, two u-shaped bobby pins to pull the end of the wrapped section through the ponytail. This keeps it securely in place.
Tools to Use
| Tool | Function |
|---|---|
| Topsy Tail tool | Helps pull the wrapped hair through the ponytail to secure it. |
| U-shaped bobby pins | Can be used as a replacement for the Topsy Tail tool, to help guide the hair through |
Key Takeaways
- The main purpose is to conceal the elastic, not to "tie" hair with hair.
- Using tools like a topsy tail or bobby pins makes the process easier and more secure.
