Hair Wrapped Elastics

Have you ever had a really cute hairstyle, but the ugly elastic was showing? Today I am going to show you many different ways on how to solve your problem! Also, first I would like to apologize for not posting yesterday. I was not feeling well.

Elastic Covering #1: This is one I used on the Detailed Rapunzel Braid. All you do is put all your hair/braid into a regular elastic, then just take a piece of hair from the back and wrap it up over the elastic, then when you get back to where you started, you can use a TopsyTail, or just your fingers to pull that piece of hair back into the elastic (preferably the top loop to hold it up better). I remember this one as the single wrapped elastic. This one looks fluffier.

Elastic Covering #2: This one I used on the Dutch Braid Hairstyle. You start the same way as the first elastic covering, except you wrap the piece of hair around twice, then pull it through the top loop in the back. This looks very similar to the first way, but it covers the elastic a little better and is wrapped tighter around. 

Elastic Covering #3: Start with your hair in a ponytail/braid, take a section of hair from the back (coming out of the elastic) and wrap it up around the elastic as many times as you can before you run out of length. When this happens, take a bobbypin and stick it into the ponytail, grabbing the ends of that piece of hair in place. This is better for a stronger, longer, hold, but if your hair ends in the front, it can be difficult to hide the bobbypin.

Elastic Covering #4: This one is not hair wrapped, instead it is a ponytail cuff I bought from Amazon.com. This one is better for ponytails instead of braids, because it looks better with more hair to fill up the cuff. It has an elastic attached to the inside, so you use that elastic to tie your ponytail, then open the cuff (it has hinges on one side) and stick the hair into the cuff and close. If you have a different ponytail cuff, you might need to use a topsy tail to pull the hair through if it doesn't open.

That's all for this week! I hope you can find a way that works best for you to cover your elastics! Tune in this Sunday for another blog post!
