Hi SweetNSour,
I sort of have to redo it, but not really. I just take the ponytail holder off so I don't have to sleep in it, then tie a scarf around my head, making sure the hair is tucked in.
In the AM, I just put the holder back on, twist the ponytail around again, then secure the ends with the little clip like in the picture.
I say I "sort of" redo it because I don't comb my hair or do anything with the top and sides. There's no manipulation, just moving the ponytail around. When I'm taking my shower in the AM, I let my hair get a little damp, and just smooth it down with my hands and I'm done! I can't sleep with the pony holders in because I have a recovering nape, and I've recently undone YEARS of damage from wearing ponytails to bed. Another tip, is that since I figure ponytail holders had a bit of stress to the hair, I only wear them when I'm in public. As soon as I get home, I take it out and out and put on a satin scarf. That way, there's less hours in the day that I'm actually wearing a holder.
Hope that helps!
