Creating the Perfect Ponytail

Dear Windy, Could you direct me to a pic of your ponytail hair style? I would love to see how you do that. When I wear a wig, somehow I have never been able to make up a realistic appearing ponytail. It could be that I am not very good with wigs.... My own hair is long enough to wear a real ponytail, but my forward baldness does keep me from looking as feminine as I would like. ...I like the reasoned and practical way you seem to approach the "crossdressing" aspects of your life.

Dear Rickie, Wearing a ponytail is a lot of fun, and it's a great way to overcome bad hair days when you're wig is in a bad mood....the trick is to use a scrunchie and plenty of bobby pins: brush your hair behind your head and pull it into a ponytail, wrap the scrunchie around it twice, then grab the ponytail in both hands and pull apart slightly to force the scrunchie up as far as it will go. Next, tuck the loose strands back and pin them liberally with plenty of bobby pins until you have the look you want. Of course, you may want to create bangs with the rest of your wig, and when it looks just right finish it off with a little hairspray. Here's a link to a picture of how it looks. Windy
