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
- Create a Ponytail: First, secure your hair into a ponytail using the elastic hair tie.
- Prepare a Section of Hair: Take a small section of hair from underneath the ponytail, close to the base.
- Wrap: Wrap that section around the hair tie, hiding it from view.
- Secure with Topsy Tail: Do not pull the hair down. Insert the Topsy Tail tool through the ponytail, and then through the wrapped section.
- 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:
- Create a Ponytail: Secure your hair into a ponytail with an elastic hair tie.
- Prepare a Section of Hair: Take a small section of hair from underneath the ponytail, close to the base.
- Wrap: Wrap that section around the hair tie, hiding it from view.
- Insert First Bobby Pin: Insert the first bobby pin from the top of your ponytail down into the wrap section, close to the base.
- Insert Second Bobby Pin: Repeat with the second bobby pin.
- Secure: By strategically placing two u-shaped bobby pins, you can secure the wrapped hair and effectively cover the hair tie.
