A drawstring ponytail is a type of hairpiece that is designed to be attached to your natural hair to create a ponytail hairstyle. It usually consists of a synthetic hair extension attached to a circular piece of fabric or mesh with a drawstring attached to it. The drawstring is used to secure the ponytail extension to your natural hair by wrapping it around the base of your own ponytail and pulling the drawstring tight.
You can select the drawstring ponytail that best suits your hair type from a variety of lengths, hues, and textures. To achieve the look you choose, they can also be found in a variety of styles, including straight, wavy, curly, and braided.
Drawstring ponytails are a quick and easy way to add length and volume to your hair while still getting the ponytail look without having to spend a lot of time shaping it. With careful maintenance, they may be reused numerous times and are very inexpensive.
Washing a drawstring ponytail is a straightforward process, and it's essential to keep your ponytail looking clean and fresh. Here are the steps to follow:
-
Detangle the ponytail: Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to gently remove any tangles from the ponytail.
-
Fill a sink or basin with lukewarm water: Make sure the water is not too hot, as this can damage the fibers of the ponytail.
-
Add shampoo: Add a small amount of shampoo specifically designed for synthetic hair to the water and mix it in.
-
Soak the ponytail: Place the ponytail into the water and gently swish it around for a few minutes.
-
Rinse the ponytail: Remove the ponytail from the water and rinse it thoroughly with clean water until all the shampoo is removed.
-
Apply conditioner: Apply a small amount of conditioner to the ponytail, focusing on the ends. Leave the conditioner in for a few minutes.
-
Rinse the ponytail: Rinse the ponytail thoroughly with clean water until all the conditioner is removed.
-
Gently squeeze out the excess water: Use a towel to gently squeeze out the excess water from the ponytail. Do not wring it out, as this can cause damage.
-
Air dry the ponytail: Hang the ponytail on a wig stand or a towel rack to air dry. Do not use a hair dryer or other heat styling tools, as this can damage the fibers.
-
Style the ponytail: Once the ponytail is dry, use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to style it as desired.
By following these simple steps, you can keep your drawstring ponytail looking clean and fresh for longer. It's important to note that washing frequency may vary depending on how often you wear the ponytail and your personal preferences.
