African American Hair and Ponytails



Girls and ponytails seem to go hand and hand. Here are a few tips to avoid pig tail disaster.
  • Do not use rubber bands to secure her pony tails, instead use elastics and covered bands. Rubber bands can cause undue breakage and damage.
  • Remember to ALWAYS remove the pony tail holders before bed time.
  • Make sure you braid (or twist) the hair completely…all the way to the ends. Exposing the ends to environmental elements will guarantee split ends.


  • I recommend adding a coat of leave in conditioner to the ends before braiding for extra protection. Remember, the ends are the oldest and most fragile part of the hair. They require extra attention.
