1-up Hair Tie 3pk

The 1-Up Hair Tie is a method of creating a ponytail for those with one-hand or those who have reduced hand function. You can also use it to create pigtails, buns or wear it as a headband.

The device consists of a long hair elastic with a toggle on it. You can use it to create a ponytail with one hand or with hands that have reduced function by putting the elastic around your head and pulling. You can then wind the excess string around the ponytail. There are several methods of using the 1-Up Hair tie to suit different abilities.

This product is extremely useful. Once you know how to use it (and I was able to do it from the very first time I tried), it’s very easy to make a pony tail. This product shows that once things are adapted, it’s very easy to be independent.

Will the 1-Up Hair Tie Work for Me?
With the 1-UP Hair Tie there are a few things you need to be able to do, no matter your abilities and differences:

1. Can you put a headband in your hair? (Part of setting up the 1-UP to make a pony tail)
2. Do you have strength needed to pull the elastic tight? (Need to be able to pull tight to get the best hold on your hair)
   
3. Can you reach the top or back of your head? (Need to be able to reach a little to guide your hair to the desired pony tail position – and to wrap or pin up the loose ends of the elastic)
