I have been using the ponytail method for about a month now and my ends are definately getting better. I do not see any split ends at all and my hair stays moisturized. Because I have so much new growth I have been putting my hair in a bun while it is wet. This is a real keeper. All of the you that informed me of this method THANK YOU!!!!!
The Ponytail Method is the BOMB!!!!!!

no i haven't experienced any breakage and i've been doing this method for over 2 years. i use satin scrunchies, pillow case and scarf. i don't use a comb or brush to put my hair in a pony tail. i just use my hands to sweep it up in a loose pony tail, wrap the hair in a loose ball then place another scrunchie on top to secure. then complete with the satin scarf.

I used a comb (when I had hair
) about one time all the way around. Usually after I got one good comb in, I smoothed the rest of my hair with my hands instead of continuous combing

OOPS, SORRY FOR ANY CONFUSION. I MAY HAVE MISSED SOMETHING IN THE OTHER REPLIES. I DO THIS METHOD HAS A NIGHTLY ROUTINE. I DON'T USE THE PONYTAIL METHOD FOR AIR DRYING. ONLY FOR KEEPING MY HAIR PROTECTED FROM PULLING ETC. MY HAIR IS BRA STRAP AND TENDS TO GET TANGLED AT NIGHT. I DON'T LIKE THE WRAP METHOD BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE THE WAY ONE SIDE OF MY HAIR GETS MATTED TO MY HEAD. I SIMPLY LOVE THE PONY TAIL METHOD FOR NIGHT AND SOMETIMES DURING THE DAY. BUT I STILL DON'T COMB OR BRUSH IT. I JUST USE MY FINGERS TO COMB IT UP. MY HAIR TYPE IS A 4A (I THINK.

Has anyone experienced thinning of the hair line with this method? I heard constant combing or brushing in that area causes thinning?
[/ QUOTE ]
"Constant" combing/brushing is not necessary to put my hair in a ponytail. As someone mentioned earlier, one sweep of the comb all the way around is sufficient.
I definitely have not experienced thinning...my hair is pretty thick all over.

Hey Kitchen_tician (I like your screen name, lol)
You might want to turn the caps lock off, it can be a little difficult to read your message when it's all in caps. Also, some people feel that all caps denotes YELLING or SCREAMING. See how it can get a little confusing? LOL...

The ponytail method is when you allow the hair to air dry in a ponytail instead of leaving it loose. It really does help straigthen the new growth.

I'm still working on this method which I first learned from Carolyn Gray in her book. Yes, it helps straighten the new growth but my ponytail part can really get bushy as it dries. Do you make one ponytail or two? Or does it matter? I apply my usual oils after my leave-in. Am I missing something important?
I've successfully done the ponytail rollerset method but the regular ponytail airdrying method is still challenging for me.
