1: Hair The trick to getting that thin piece of hair to stay wrapped around a ponytail elastic is to slide a bobby pin through the end of the small piece and then roll the bobby pin upward toward the elastic (like you would roll hair up in a curler). Slide the pin in under the hair elastic to secure the piece. -- Craig Carter, hair stylist

I love wearing the pony with my hair around the elastic. I've worn that style a lot over the years and never realized how popular it is until now. My mom taught me the powder over your lipstick trick. All in all this was another great article with awesome tips that I will be passing on to my friends and family!!!

Really glad to know about the bobby pin trick, i have wondered about that. I have used the powder over lipstick trick for years. Before long wearing lipstick, that is what we did. LOL I am not that old, but, I recall life before long wearing. The powder trick really works!

by Agrimony Friday, February 25, 2011 at 05:08PM Report as inappropriate

love these! I've always wondered how girls got that hair around the elastic, and I would never have guessed that powder was the key to keeping lipstick in place!

by Bon_Bon Thursday, February 17, 2011 at 06:46PM Report as inappropriate

I love using a piece of hair to cover an elastic! Great article.

Lovely looks!

mark. hookups are perfect for those days when you have no idea what you want to do with makeup, and you can do a full face in about 2-5 mnutes.

topping listick with a translucent powder works because the powder absorbs the oils, making it last longer. but make sure u put a tissue over the lipstick while u powder it.

I agree with Shirley101 ! There are a lot of us that have short hair and want to see what kinds of options we have with short hair!

by Cherylkerr Tuesday, February 9, 2010 at 12:28PM Report as inappropriate
