I love to wear my hair in a ponytail but unfortunately, although my hair looks quite thick, as soon as I show it a band/tie, it reveals just how fine it really is, I end up with something quite limp and pathetic really. The answer - puffy ponytails. Ok, so they take a little more work than a regular pony, but it's a great way of changing up your style, whatever your hair thickness.
