Question for those that air dry in a ponytail

[SelfStyled]

What do you do with the ends of your pony. I am always at a loss what to do now that I can actually make a pony.

Do you let your ends hang down? Or do you let it air dry in a bun? Or do you do something else?

Thanks for the help!

I pin it up in a bun to dry.

Thanks for answering. Do you use a scrunchy or hair band or just pins? TIA!

I braid or twist tightly and pin under with a bobby-pin before tying down with a silk or satin scarf. If am going to straighten (rare) I band...

I am yet to airdry in a pony tail, but I have air dried twists in pig tails. I just let them hang. When wearing twists, I always style my hair when they are wet because I prefer the weight of the water to help "set" the style, in this case, I wanted the twists to point downward when in the pigtails, hence the reason I "drip-dried". Even when wearing my twists down, I wet them and let them dry hanging down so they aren't twisting any which way.

Me too. When I am done washing, I moisturize then put my hair in two braids or twists. Wrap them up and tie my hair down. It make a beautiful braid/ twist out bun in the morning. And your hair lays down flat. I have been doing that for the last couple of weeks. Its very low maintenance in the morning, yet it still looks very nice and put together.

I either dry in a bun or leave my ends hanging. I use a satin scrunchie to hold my ponytail and when I bun it, I use a regular ole elastic hair tie...

HTH!

I apply profective healthy ends to my ends and just leave it out to dry, afterwards I flatiron and apply mango butter as a moisturizer

I use a hair band for the pony, and hair pins to pin it up. I usually can't get my hair in a ponytail if it's not wet, so I always wet bun it, apply aloe vera gel, and put on a scarf to tie it down.

Here's a pic. My hair was still wet.

I use all of the above to put it in a bun. Now, I use pins mainly.

I co washed this morning, but curl activator in , sealed with coconut oil, put two pony tails in and a curler on the end of each pony tail.

worked ok- ended up with a wavy bob - (im CBL)

I mix LTR with evoo and pull hair back into a scrunchie. Then I get a huge magnetic roller and flip the ends up. Then I tie the top down with a scarf. After it is almost dry, I take the scrunchie and roller out and comb straight and divise the ends into three parts and re roll without the scrunchie all the way up to my head.

 

[KLomax]

I put in a few snap on rollers.

I'm texlaxed and I put in some leave-in (Giovanni Direct), some Aveda Be Curly on the pony ends, and some coconut oil on the whole thing. When it dries I have this:

That is sooooo pretty!

I twist the ponytail tightly into a bun and pin it. Then I just put a few scarves over it and go to bed.

 

[discodumpling]

I braid or twist my ends. If I want to get fancy I release the braid or twist.

After my hair is dry I usually remove the pony tail holder and tuck the braid.

 

[Iluvsmuhgrass]

I airdry in one or two ponytails and coat the ends in castor oil while wet (after adding my leave ins). Then I two-strand twist it and pin it up.

Any photos of a wet bun?

Here are mine from earlier today. This is how I have been wearing my hair every day since October 2007. I'm Currently 11 months post.
I alternate between a low or high bun.
After I co-wash I moisturize with any butter hempseed/aloe/shea/cocoa,
seal with coconut oil and use a little gel to keep the frizz down (the front only).
I brush it back with a boar bristle brush and use a scrunchie to bun it up.
I know my edges look thin, but that is just the way my hairline has always been. The bun looks tight but it isn't, I make sure I don't pull or bun my hair up too tight.

That is my favorite way to air dry- the scarf really smooths it out.

Good idea with the castor oil! That probably really help your ends retain their moisture.

I put mine in a bun and find that my ends thank me for it when they're fully dry

Doing the bump.

Bunned held with a scrunchie.

 

[marla]

I use a satin scrunchie for the ponytail itself. Then I take an end paper and wrap the part hanging out on a huge roller. Next I tie a scarf on to lay the edges down. After it is about 80% dry, I remove the scrunchie and use 4 rollers to re-roll the hair up in a flip type fashion and let it finish drying. I end up with a loose flip.

I tried this the other night and I really liked it.
