Y’all I found a new hair accessory. Ok… it’s more of a tool than an accessory. I love it. I’ve actually been looking at this thing for YEARS but never could envision I to use it in my hair. Most likely cause I didn’t have enough length. But yesterday, I decided to buy it at Claire’s (or was it Icing) and couldn’t wait to get home to use it. And when I did, WOW, this thing is definitely a keeper. Makes the most gorgeous ponytails ever! So here’s a quick tutorial that shows how to use it. Enjoy.

High pony
Here’s how to do it with the bandette comb

As you can see, it’s just one of those big combs that can be used to hold really thick hair in a bun or up do. It simply has a band attached to one end.
Stick it in your hair at the spot that you want your ponytail. In this case mine is going to be a high ponytail.
Gather all of your hair and pull it up. See the band on the end of the comb.

I’m going to pull that band underneath and loop it to over the other end.

Here’s the result.

Wallah! A high pony done with a bandette comb.

Hi lady, this is an interesting concept but I still don’t quite get it. Maybe if I re-read it a few times, it will sink in. I do like the front view that shows how your hair is draped in the first couple photos. you’ve given me a lot of ideas for work styles. thanks for your experiments.

Thanks Theresa. Yeah it really isn’t hard. The comb has a band on the end. You stick the comb in, pull your hair up and pull the band behind your hair and secure the band on the other end of the comb. Yeah, just study both of the tutorials and I think you’ll get it.
Good luck!

Love your color and your hair goal seems to be coming along nicely. I like the shape and length of your hair on you. Keep it up!
