How do you wrap a hair tie?

Published in Hair styling 2 mins read

You can wrap a hair tie using a Topsy Tail tool, or two u-shaped bobby pins to hide the elastic with your own hair.

Wrapping a Hair Tie with Hair

Here's how you can effectively conceal your hair tie, drawing from the methods described in the reference video:

Using a Topsy Tail Tool

  1. Create a Ponytail: First, secure your hair into a ponytail using the elastic hair tie.
  2. Prepare a Section of Hair: Take a small section of hair from underneath the ponytail, close to the base.
  3. Wrap: Wrap that section around the hair tie, hiding it from view.
  4. Secure with Topsy Tail: Do not pull the hair down. Insert the Topsy Tail tool through the ponytail, and then through the wrapped section.
  5. Pull Through: Then, pull the wrapped section of hair through using the Topsy Tail. This covers the hair tie.

Using U-Shaped Bobby Pins

If you do not have a Topsy Tail, you can use two u-shaped bobby pins:

  1. Create a Ponytail: Secure your hair into a ponytail with an elastic hair tie.
  2. Prepare a Section of Hair: Take a small section of hair from underneath the ponytail, close to the base.
  3. Wrap: Wrap that section around the hair tie, hiding it from view.
  4. Insert First Bobby Pin: Insert the first bobby pin from the top of your ponytail down into the wrap section, close to the base.
  5. Insert Second Bobby Pin: Repeat with the second bobby pin.
  6. Secure: By strategically placing two u-shaped bobby pins, you can secure the wrapped hair and effectively cover the hair tie.
