PONY-O Review



Happy Monday! If you are anything like me, you have been re-targeted a million times on Facebook and Instagram for the PONY-O. It’s supposedly a miracle ponytail holder that gives you a fuller higher ponytail with no crease. OH and it supposed to work with all hair types. Sounds insane, right?

pony-o review

 

 

So, after seeing the ad a million times, I purchased a set so I could try them for myself. I like to be a resource/human guinea pig for y’all, so this was definitely something I wanted to try.

The holders are made of silicone with a malleable insert and come in several different colors. I purchased the “champagne blonde” color and it came with a set of 2. Basically you pull your hair through the ring, flatten, and fold the sides. I like to wear it as a ponytail, or with a half-up, half-down style.

I was pleasantly surprised! This was no “Hairagami” disaster of 1997. Side note: do y’all remember that commercial? I was SO intrigued by the magical hair folding tool. When I finally tried the product, it was pretty garbage lol.

But PONY-O is nothing like that. I actually really like it. It definitely keeps my ponytail tight and in place, and it does make it higher and fuller. I’m actually a really big fan. I haven’t tested it at the gym or anything, but for a normal every day routine I really like it.

 

I have thicker hair was sure it was going to slide out in like 10 minutes, but the silicone really does grip well and stays put. As a bonus, because I don’t have elastic wrapped around three times, it helps with headaches. And after a full day, I still don’t have a crease.

I’m not crazy about the color, but it’s not a deal breaker. I also sometimes hide the holder by wrapping a piece of hair around it. So if you’re concerned about the big band or mis-matching color, it can easily be hidden.

So after my test, I would definitely recommend. A set is $19.95, which is obviously a little pricier than your normal ponytail holder. So that’s a personal choice, but I do like them and they claim to last hundreds of uses.

Update: I created this video with 3 of my favorite Pony-O Hairstyles:

    Since having kids, my hair hasn’t been the same so I’m always looking for products like this to help add some extra to my hair! Thanks I will check this out!

    I’m always so intrigued by products like this- glad to hear it actually worked! You have such pretty hair.

      Aw thank you Cara!! <3

    I’m glad it works, even though it might be pricey, it seems like it could be a good investment.

    • Helen @ Hel On Heels says

      November 6, 2018 at 10:06 pm

      I really do like it! It holds my hair very well and I love the volume.

    I bought a set after seeing all of the ads too and I have really enjoyed it too. Not a fan of the colors either, but it’s not deal breaker.

    • Helen @ Hel On Heels says

      November 6, 2018 at 10:05 pm

      Yay! I’m so glad you like it too! I just wrap my hair around the band and call it a day.

    November 5, 2018 at 9:47 pm

    I’ve been seeing that ad on my FB too! I was curious to see a real person try it. I have extremely thick hair, so I’m not sure how well it would work for me!

    • Helen @ Hel On Heels says

      November 6, 2018 at 10:05 pm

      My biggest worry would be your hair fitting through the band. I really wish they would come out with a wider version. However, it holds great!

  6. Alix Maza says

    November 5, 2018 at 10:06 pm

    OMG THE HAIRAGAMI :D! I don’t really worry about volume with my ponytail, but this sounds great!

    i have thin hair, so curious if this would work for me as well

    • Helen @ Hel On Heels says

      November 6, 2018 at 10:03 pm

      It helps with volume so it might be a great tool for thin hair!

    Is this a Pony-O XL or the regular one? I can’t decide which ‘size’ to get… I have hair that looks like yours, long and thick! What do you think?
