- Hey everyone, I'm Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles,
Brooklyn's here with me,
she's gonna help me out today,
and we are fab or failing ponytail puffers.
I don't what these ar actually called.
This one's called the Ponyfull,
this one's called the Poofy Pony.
Basically it's a tool
that is supposed to make your ponytail
look super fluffy and way more volumized.
So that's what we're testing,
we have 4 of them today, we're gonna try them all out,
see if any of them work,
if we think they're terrible,
and do all the reviews for you guys.
If you haven't subscribed to our channel already
be sure to do that by clicking the button right here
and let's get on to the fab or fail.
Okay, guys,
I have not worked with any of these,
I have never tried any of them before,
some of them I'm not even sure how they work.
The first one I'm gonna use is this one,
the Poofy Pony.
I got this on Amazon.
They're all not that expensive. Okay.
- This is what my ponytail looks before.
- Yes, I put her hair in a ponytail,
just a basic ponytail
I didn't make it overly volumized, nothing fancy,
just straight up ponytail.
It's suppose to really amp this part up.
So when I opened the box, this was what was in it.
- What the crap?
- I mean I know what this does. Be elastic.
Literally, okay, there are directions, that's good.
Okay one, gather hair in a ponytail. Already did.
Two, screw the poofy ponytail into the center
of the ponytail close to the head.
Spread hair evenly around the Poofy Pony.
It doesn't say to lift the hair up or anything,
it looks like it's got these little claws.
- You're supposed to take the rubber band out,
and put it over the--
- We're just gonna go for it,
like if you're screwing one of those bobby pin things in.
- Ow.
(laughs)
Yeah, you're supposed to put the hair through, mom.
- How?
It doesn't open!
That's not gonna work.
Screw the Poofy Pony into the center of the ponytail
close to the head,
spread hair evenly around the poofy ponytail.
That looks terrible.
- It won't go through!
- No, that's not gonna work! (screams)
- It's just not gonna work.
- Put it,
the center of the head
and screw it in.
Literally I don't know how you would screw that in,
like watch this,
it's just getting caught in her hair.
- Ow.
- Oops, sorry.
Wow, we're a mess.
- I think that you're supposed to,
maybe you're just like,
kinda you know, like do this,
and then you're supposed to spread the hair evenly
around it like this.
- That is not how it looks in the pictures.
In the pictures it has the hair nicely,
looking all place,
and then the elastic goes around that plastic thing.
Yeah, that's not a good face.
- Got it!
I think.
- What even is that?
- Did I do it?
- I mean,
technically it's in there
but your hair is knotted, for the record.
- Well I did it with down here.
- And,
it's not, I don't know.
(upbeat music)
Okay, so here's the finished product.
- It's like inside of my hair.
- But it's also made her hair knots and knotted.
Okay next, we are going to try the Perfect Hairstyle.
There's literally no directions with this one,
I got on Amazon again.
Look at, this is all it is.
- What the crap, these all look so strange.
- And the only thing is that
there's a before and after on the back
with no directions whatsoever.
It just says, use this for the perfect ponytail.
- What?
- I guess it's up to our imagination
on how to use this
to create the perfect ponytail. You ready?
- I think that you stick this in your ponytail
and the other one.
- Before or after the elastic?
- Before, and the elastics,
see how this goes round,
that's where the elastics are supposed to go.
- So like this?
Like I just stick it in there?
- Ow, yeah.
- And then,
put the elastic around it?
- Yeah.
- I mean at least that one went in easier.
I just kind of made a hole in the middle of the ponytail
and stuck it down in there
and then put the elastic around.
- Can you see it?
- No. You can't. The hair is separated.
Turn around, I'll show you.
I'll show them.
You cannot see,
like if I part her hair,
you can see it right there.
But you literally can't see it.
Okay, I actually kind of think that one worked a little.
(upbeat music)
Okay, I'm just gonna call out that I
literally didn't do anything on this ponytail
and it actually looks pretty good.
So I definitely think that one actually worked,
not like the first one.
The first one was crazy.
The next one we're gonna try,
this one we have to start with a ponytail.
And it's like this hair clip thing.
- It's not the same thing!
It's showing us that you just clip it up,
which isn't a ponytail.
- It just says put hair to ponytail
then hold the ponytail straight up,
place the fashion accessory through the ponytail,
behind the rubber band, let the ponytail fall over.
- It's like a 90's hairstyle.
Like you know those clips
with the little rounded edges
that the teachers would do this and like twist it up
and get it up here?
- Let me do it.
Technically, it's a pony puffer,
and we're testing pony puffers,
so we're gonna call this one a pony puffer.
So lift the ponytail up.
Okay, we're gonna go like this.
We're gonna go this way.
- And then you go up--
- Yeah, so it said behind the elastic,
through ponytail, behind the rubber band.
Through the ponytail, okay, okay.
Behind--
- Ow! (Mindy laughs)
- Okay, you do it then so I don't hurt you.
- Oh my gosh. That was not comfortable.
I think that it maybe does this--
- No, no, no.
You're flipping it.
Okay, okay.
Wow. (laughs)
- I told you it wasn't gonna work. (Mindy laughs)
- Oh my gosh, okay.
Well.
I mean, it's a look.
- I told you it's that 90's hair style
where they twist it and clip it
and then they just let the rest--
- It's just not what we were--
well it's falling open.
Like it's totally falling through the sides,
so it's not even staying covered.
(upbeat music)
From the side,
it kinda sort of looks like maybe it worked,
and then you turn it around to the back
and you're like yeah, nope.
Nope!
Hard no!
Epic fail.
I have one more,
this one's actually the one I'm the most curious about
because this one, you can get,
I think at Target.
- Ponyfull.
- I'm gonna say it's strong, but a kitsch, kitsch?
How would you say that name?
- Kitsch.
- Kish?
Kitsch?
Okay, this one says,
gather your hair into a ponytail,
split your ponytail in half horizontally,
place Ponyfull with pick facing downward
and self-gripping material facing your palm.
Gently hook the pick into the center
of the pony pushing downward,
it will instantly expand your elastic
and make your ponytail feel tighter.
Release the top half of the ponytail down
to adjust and cover.
Let's try it.
We're gonna split the hair in half.
We're gonna take the pick,
and this is facing my,
this Velcro part is facing my palm.
We're going to pick it downward.
Damn, damn.
There we go, there we go.
Okay, we got it secured.
And then it said to let it fall.
Hey, actually, Brooklyn, that's not too bad either.
(upbeat music)
This one,
I actually don't feel too bad about.
Like you can't see it.
See again, if I show it to you,
you know up there,
it does give it a nice little boop!
Well, I wanna try one more thing,
so I have some tricks that I do for ponytails
to give them a little more lift,
so I want to try that minus the little ponytail.
The only bummer with this one
is that it does have this Velcro on it,
so getting it out of your hair.
Let's see.
- Oh!
What the hell was that?
Wasn't that comfortable.
- That was it.
So if I were going to do a ponytail,
just without any other tools,
I would just comb it all up, like I am,
I would go just a smidge higher on the head
cause I want it to sit a little higher,
and then I would use my first elastic
to secure it.
So it would look like that,
but then my trick is taking a second elastic
and doing an extra little thing,
and then really tightening it down
and letting it flip,
cause I'm just curious to see how that looks,
and you know you'd wrap the hair elastic
with the bobby pins so it's cute.
(upbeat music)
Okay, so let's do a final spin on this one,
we know there's nothing in it,
so it's not gonna have things poking out.
But if we're looking specifically just for that little lift.
And of course, if I were gonna leave that in her hair,
for a long time I would actually wrap it
with a bobby pin and a hair, so it's covered, elastic.
But. Let's do this.
Let's do a final run down.
Fab or fail on the first one?
- Fail.
- Fail for me, epic.
- Big fail. - That looked like
a giant fricking knot and--
- It was not comfortable.
- Didn't know how to use it.
What was next.
Surprisingly, I was okay with this one.
- A low fab.
I mean it worked,
I did think I saw a little more height in the ponytail,
but I also, it's not super huge,
so it wasn't like a lot of lift.
- No.
No!
- Fail for me too.
Double negative.
- Uncomfortable.
- And made the ponytail look terrible.
- This one, I mean it did work.
- Fab.
- Listen, if you have really thin hair,
and you really wanted some lift,
that would probably be the one I would tell you to try.
- Was the best out of all of them,
like all these contraptions,
I think this one was the most successful.
- So I'm gonna give this one a medium fab.
But I do have to say,
just adding the secondary elastic
and moving the ponytail up a little bit on your head
made it look, I think,
I'm gonna have to look at this side-by-side
on the pictures to totally,
but I think it's probably better than this.
- And it's more comfortable and more traditional.
- It's at least as good as this.
So there you go.
- But comment down below
