Mia Poofy Pony Ponytail Volumizing Hair Styling Tool - Go From Thin to a Thick Full Ponytail in Seconds Using Your Own Hair - Brown - for Women, Teens, Moms, Thin Hair, Survivors

The good: This will make any thickness of hair into a super-fat ponytail! I used it on my 8 year old daughter who has long fine hair and instantly she had this huge pony tail!The not so good: She could never put it in herself, so kids will need adult help. I put it in my own hair after practicing, just fine. But another small thing to consider is that it cannot be used in sports - she obviously had to take the hard plastic piece out of her ponytail before soccer practice. And also - I wish there were a medium or small width option bc this just makes for a really (obvious) fat/thick pony. If you’re looking for a subtle look, this is too wide to fool anyone who knows you ;-)

Wow, love how full in makes my ponytail! I insert it this way- separate my hair into "half up half down". Holding the top half of my hair I insert the tool and twist. Then I bring up the lower half of my hair making like a "sandwich" with the tool in the middle. I wrap the band snugly near the hooks (closest to scalp). Works great!

The directions on the package are very hard to follow - I was able to use following directions in another users review here on Amazon. I have really long hair that is thin (which is what I think this product is intended to help, to create a fuller pony tail). You could see the product through my hair, and it really didn't do anything except make the girth of my ponytail wider. But it was still just a floppy ponytail - did nothing to help with the fullness.

The directions don't make any sense. At all. My dog is enjoying it as a chew toy, though, hence the second star!

I have long, thick, at home dyed, mostly straight, Hispanic hair. 36 y.o female. I'm a low maintenance, sweats and hat kind of gal and mostly pull my hair up or back and thought of "stepping up my girly game" by putting a little extra effort into my daily ponytail by trying this thing. I watched the YouTube video with the dude showing me how to put it in, like him, I figured it out, it was easy but really doesn't make a difference in the way the pony looks. Not worth it, try something else. I'll continue looking.

It’s legit. The other reviews helped me figure out how to use it, which i read before i ordered (as I do with everything!). So, no surprises.Doesn’t hurt my head after wearing a couple hours like even regular ponytail holders do.

It took me a few to figure it out, instructions not great. Make your ponytail holding just with your hand as usual, slip it under or into the side/under part of your ponytail, twist a bit if you want, hair kind of naturally goes around the plastic piece, then the tricky part is to add the band. Just take your time. the first try I wrapped band around twice as normal but it band wasn't going to the base of the piece at my scalp, it ended up at the top of the piece. I worked the band towards the base at my scalp then I could see how it worked. Tried again and now it's easy. For brown/darker hair it works great! I've tried others and don't like. I'm buying a second to have on hand.

I'm surprised that this product doesn't have 5 stars overall, this works great for me. I have fine hair, but a lot of it. When my hair is down it has lots of volume because it's light and fluffy, but in a band, it shows it's thin side. So using this really makes it look thick and lush. I even use it to make buns and my messy knot look much thicker. And it's easy to use, but not the way the directions suggest. I pull up half my hair, then put the poof under that half, and then pull the other half up to cover the bottom of the poof. it takes a bit of practice to get the band around a couple times, but you'll get the hang of it (I use my pinky to hold the poof in place and pull my hair through). I lost one and had to buy another because I instantly missed it.
