Double-sided hair ties, often used with tools like the "topsy tail," are used to wrap around a ponytail, leaving some ends out for styling.
Steps for Using Double-Sided Hair Ties
Here's a breakdown of how to use these hair ties effectively, as demonstrated in the referenced video:
- Create Your Ponytail: First, make a ponytail where you want it.
- Wrap the Tie: Take the double-sided hair tie and wrap it around your ponytail.
- Leave Ends Out: Make sure to leave some of the ends of the hair out, rather than wrapping them completely. This is often done to allow for further styling.
- Use a Tool (Optional): Using a topsy tail tool, insert the tool right above your ponytail.
- Thread the Ends: Take the ends of your ponytail that you left out, and use the tool to thread it through the hair. The tool pulls those ends through, creating a unique style.
Practical Insights
- Versatility: Double-sided ties and tools can be used in various hairstyles, like creating flipped ponytails, adding volume, or unique styling techniques.
- Experimentation: Feel free to experiment with how much of the ends you leave out. Leaving more or less changes the final look.
- Secure Hold: The double-sided ties help to keep your ponytail secure while adding a unique styling element.
