There are hair ties made of nylon, elastic, silk, cotton, microfiber, and spandex—or some combination of these materials. Each has different properties. Microfiber, for instance, is great for wet hair and reduces drying time. Elastic, on the other hand, is great if you’re looking for a hair tie that can keep each strand of hair in place.

Hair Elastics and Ties

Take one side section of hair and pull it through the loop part of the tool carefully. The section of hair should form a small loop. This is one half of the bow. Use your fingers to spread out the unclipped loop and push it flat against your head into a bow shape. Insert one bobby pin going from the top to the bottom and one going from the bottom to the top. Tie the two sections together with an elastic or hair tie to create a half ponytail. Don't pull the ends through the elastic so there is a loop at the end of the tie.
