Works ok for a while but always falls out if I do anything other than sit around. My hair is very long and thick and the pony-o always sags in my hair. Pretty sure these will only work if you have thin hair... and yes I followed the directions and got both the regular and XL versions from the ponyo website. Neither works for me.

Didn’t hold my hair
It’s seems to be well made but I have extremely thick hair! My problem was holding it and trying to pull my hair through at same time! Then when I finally got it to work it was loose. It doesn’t hold my pony tell up high like I usually wear it. My hair band holds way better. Maybe not a product for thick hair? FYI I ordered three all types for thick hair.

The website claimed that their products…
The website claimed that their products work great on fine hair, but that wasn't the case for me. The Pony-o 2.0 worked okay, but I'm really disappointed with the bun bar. The bar is too long and doesn't easily bend in a circle shape. My layered hair just fell out of the "bun" and the bar showed though. That's what I get for trusting a Facebook Ad.

I received my Pony O order to the UK…
I received my Pony O order to the UK quicker than expected and immediately loved them! Gave me the volume I'd be hoping for & no headache. HOWEVER after a few uses they are out of shape and will no longer hold my hair, I followed the video tutorials on their website so not down to incorrect use.
If i had reviewed after the first use it would have been a strong 4 stars so can see why so many good reviews on their website.

Fast shipping but don’t hold on to the hair at all

Disappointing...
Not really worth it and I don't see the benefit over using a normal hair tie. In fact my normal hair ties hold my hair up better!
It's heavy and slips down occasionally, despite using it as instructed.
Don't believe the hype or waste your money!

Fantastic idea, but too heavy
I was so excited to receive the pony-o, I thought finally I can wear ponytails that look fuller. Well, they look fuller alright, but ohmygod, the weight of these things, it's pulling out all my hair and giving me a headache. I have very fine hair and not much of it, so my ponytails always looked very thin, not cute. The pony-o will make them look fuller, fantastic idea to be honest to flatten your hair and then bend it, love these kinds of visual tricks. But why does it have to weigh a 100 tons? Seriously. If there were a lighter, less stickier version, I would try that, but this one is painful. They should develop different ones for different types of hair, cause I see a lot of you had the problem of not holding (thicker, more hair), but I had the opposite issue to be honest, holding too firm and downright pulling.

I should have take 2 star average…
I should have take 2 star average reviews here more seriously.
0 star customer service: Package contains no receipt, order info, or return instructions. Items all thrown together. So if you ordered sets of products and want to return specific sets, there is no way to know. Speaking of return, they make it as difficult as possible. There is no automated return process. You have to dig around to find an email address to communicate with a rude individual who will try to convince you to keep your products and drag on the conversation til it's beyond return period. Then she will tell you it's too late to return and make you feel bad and tell you that you made it pass date.
3 stars for the products:
The ponytail bands will makes your ponytail look fuller but won't work on fine, smooth, healthy hair. The model's and posted photos are mostly course and bleach damaged hair, so the band grabs the hair better and won't slip like it would on smooth hair.
The bun strips yank hair and buns do not stay more than half day. They'll keep telling you it has a learning curve. I'm not sure how many weeks of this learning curve is supposed to last, but if you ask them, they'll keep push it toward pass return date.
I wanted to give them 1 stars, but since the owner of the company is a woman and a start-up, I'm rounding up to 2 stars for kudos to her fight to survive in this male dominated world.
