It's actually really easy to do this without any special tool. You can use a ribbon or even a bit of string. Just tie the ends in a loose knot, poke that down through your ponytail, pull your hair through the loop, then pull the knotted end. If you can't find a bit of string, you can even do it by hand; carefully push your thumb and forefinger up from underneath the ponytail, grab the loose hair and pull it through. With a little practice, it looks just as neat.
i personally would use pipe cleaners maybe twist 2 or 3 together and then tape it at the bottom the same way so that the loop is flexible and it could fit through smaller ponys
I love all your videos but this one is so helpful I didn't even think of this I have tried your hairstyles on my one year and always get complements on her hair! I like giving it my own little flair but love your videos keep them coming please and thank you.
I am from Indonesia, all of your videos are very useful for me and my daughter. I can practice it at home. My daughter loved it. thank you a lot of tips :)
Thanks for this (: it gave me an idea to make one. I used a zip tie like everyone but the tape didn't work of me so I cut the lock piece off and hot glued the cut end to the base of how big I wanted it and glued on both sides then I took my glue gun and smoothed the glue flat. It works great on my daughters hair I love it and thanks again for the video
wow, not only do you teach hairstyles you make your own tools too :) i remember as a little girl, we had a topsy tail, but it was a lot smaller!!! lets hope its not been chucked away!!! LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!!!!!
i just discovered your channel... thank you for existing. i now look forward to trying different hairstyles on my daughter. i am not very good at styling her hair, but you now gave me hope. :)
Thank you so much for this video! I'm a nursing assistant, so my hair has to be up at work. I get so sick of pony tails and always wanted to know a cutie style that would stay. Once I saw this video, I made one in less then 10 min, and did a side pony, and used it! I'm so glad I found this! Thanks again! :) -Kristin
wow!! you knw what?!! i made my topsy tail tool 2 years back with a dry cleaner's hanger just the same way.....i didnt knew there was a video on you tube telling how to do it... good work!!
Thank you for the demo on making your own topsy. I had owned one a LONG time ago and haven't been able to find it in local drugstores. I'm going to make one today. Thanks!
Omg....thanx thanx thanx thanx soooo much! This was sooo easy to make....as long as you got the supplies...cause I went all over my house literally to look for a hanger that was bendable and easy to cut. What I did was similar to yours ...like I used a wire like thingy hanger ....then for cutting it...I couldn't find any strong scissors.....so I used my mom's plant trimmer/ cutter thingy..and then put the duct tape on....Thanx again!
So, I kinda like my hair with different styles that's why I really do like your tutorials and guess what ^^~ my mom wants to learn every tutorials you did.♥ Thanks and love lots
To those into her personal- GET A LIFE!!!!.... I am an adult with reaallyyy long hair and did not know what 2 do with it. I made the topsy tail as well as viewed the hairstyle uploads. U were my hair fairy!!!! Now my daughter and myself as well r steppin out fresh, rockin do's not even common where we live. THANK YOU and PLEASE- keep those unique beautiful YET EASY styles coming....
Hi! I love your channel! You have so many cute hair ideas! I have 4 girls and need all the ideas I can get - lol! Anyway, I made one of those tools out of a pipe cleaner and it works great on my little girl (she's 4 so her hair isn't super thick yet). Thank you for all the great videos!
i love how the dad is wearing a plaid hollister shirt haha. i absolutly love this family, u guys are amazing, ur daughters and son are gorgeous and all the girls look just like u,mom! lol all the hairstyles u do are really helpful for me on school mornings but i can never seem to pick which one to do! haha i usually go with the really simple ones with like braids or the flip pony, something cute and quick so i can head out the door(: i hope to see more hairstyles soon!! take caree!!(:
How much do us girls love a man who will use his handiness to make a cheap hairtool that his daughter and wife can use to beautify their hair! What an ace man!
I love how this is a family affair! Thank you for taking me lots of new things
Me and my husband love all your videos. Thanks after 2 boys now we enjoy get our pretty baby girl look pretty with her long thick black hair.
Take a plastic circular knitting needles and bind the needle part together. There rest will be circular and flexible! Love the styles!
Oh yeah! That's a good idea too!
I just love it how she dresses soo cute & yet very appropriate.

Hey CGH you can also make a topsy tail by taking a zip tie and making it what ever link you want it you should make a video on how to do that too
+Allie adkins Zip tie/cable tie is a much better idea - thank you! (Especially cos I don't have a dad or husband to handle the dangerous man-tools!)
A family that does arts & crafts together stays forever :)
