angenoir: I saw this video last week and I was anxious to try it. Thanks for sharing your results because I wanted to see how it worked with someone else. I'm going to give it a shot this weekend.

You mentioned this was your first time sewing in tracks. How long did it take you?

I then made a part and let some of my own hair fall over that. I then repeated this step twice.
I doubled the weft each time for thickness.

And that's it.

Sorry, I dont explain it very well...

I got this idea from a lady on youtube. I think she is a member here but I am not sure. Her tutorial is great and she does a much better job of explaining the process! (Her hair is much much longer than mine is). Here are the links.

great thread and good ideas. I have the UPA clip and the mane clip. I dont know if I am using too much hair in the mane clip and it seems to slide down off my hair a lot. I guess I need to work with it. Will definetly try some ideas in this thread as I plan to do more cowashing and revisit baggying.

Hi. Sorry for the late response. I just saw this. The first time it took me about 1.5hrs because I had never done a sew in on myself before.

But I liked it so much I have been doing it and taking it down every 10 days or so to redo the tracks and now I am down to about 45mins - 1hr to install it.

The greatest thing is that I can also wash and condition during the week with no problems.

I love my phony bun

and I will keep doing this till I have enough growth for braids

How did I miss this thread?? I been wearing a 3/4 wig but the combs are pulling on my hair line (absolute no no!). I want to try wearing a phony pony again, I think I'll be ordering a Mane Clip. I love her chignon for a style to wear during the week. Is there a challenge? I want to sign up! For those that take the combs out of their phonies, how do you make sure it stays put? I'm paranoid about mine coming out too.

I was going to say how did I miss the Mane Clip but I realized I had to grow a ponytail before I could use it. Now I have nice sized pony this is right on time!! Very nice! I like the kinky straight, that's the kind of hair I need.

ETA: How secure is the Mane Clip. I'll be wearing it a lot for workouts which includes running, weight training, some dance classes, etc.

I always take the combs out of my phony pony. To make sure that it is secure I draw the string tight, I then tie the string into a not. I make sure that the phony pony has enough elasticity to get over my bun- and that's it. Say if it's a windy day I might put in 2 bobby pins, but 9 out of 10 times I don't.

There is not a phony pony challenge that I know of, but we could certainly start our own

The mane clip is super, super secure. The key is when you clip it on make sure that you anchor it into your hair.

I want a Mane clip, but I am certain it would slip off my hair right now...

I can you send you mine for the cost of shipping. I purchased it last month and now I don't want it.

Really? That's very kind of you. I'll send you a PM. Then I'll send you a picture when it slips off my head...

I remember being into phony ponys years ago and having the healthiest, longest hair. I strayed away and here I am 17 years later with my pony in. I'm going back for the summer at least because I need to keep those flatirons away. I'm also cowashing more and baggying and what better way then to wear the phony pony to accomplish the results from back in the day. I live in Iowa and our selection isn't the best so, I have to buy online. If anyone have sites where they sale nice ponys let me know.

Question: Is there a limit to how long I can keep my baggy on under my pony? I keep it on all the time and was just wondering.

SelfStyled · #**115** 05-25-2009, 07:33 AM

Hi Cookie- it is totally one of the KISS things for me to . As far as the baggying goes....not so sure I would baggy 24/7 my hair is THIRSTY and that would be way too much moisture for me. How is your hair doing with the constant baggying? Cause you know how it goes, what works for one may not work for the other.

IMO I just think too much of any thing is not a good thing....maybe you could ask in the Baggying thread, I will link it for you....
http://www.longhaircareforum.com/sho...d.php?t=360386

If it were me I might baggy during the night, but not in the daytime or vice versa.

I totally agree with you so I'm going to baggy overnight. My hair seems to like it but who knows what'll happen later.

I am doing a phony pony all next week for a work trip. I have milkyway corkscrew human hair pieces in #2 and I bought milkyway coil curls hair today in #1B. They need to make a color between #2 & #1B though since 1B is too dark and #2 is too brown.

Okay our hair sounds like it is the same color. I like- I like, cute and creative. I love your two clips. I like the corkscrew pony and the yaki bun looks good too.

I just ordered a few ponies from Hairsister- I will add pictures when I get them.

I still haven't finished the other ponytail look I want to try, but here's a curly pony look I like to wear.

This was originally a kiddie ponytail. I have a small head and after I fluffed it out, it was seemed like way too much hair for an office look, so I cut it in half and here's the result:
