How to Use Pony Pop

Two ways to apply, same easy takedown. Pick the one that fits your routine.

Brush Pen

6 mL

  1. 1 Twist the end of the pen until the brush fills with oil.
  2. 2 Brush the oil directly onto the plastic hair elastic, making sure to saturate it.
  3. 3 Let the oil work as the elastic loosens, then gently slide or pop it out.
  4. 4 If it doesn't release on the first try, reapply as needed.

Stubborn elastic? Gently lift a layer of the band away from the scalp and apply oil while keeping it pulled taut. Avoid pulling on the hair or pressing the applicator against the scalp.

Dropper Bottle

30 mL

  1. 1 Apply a drop directly onto the plastic hair elastic.
  2. 2 Allow the oil to work on the band.
  3. 3 Gently slide or pop the elastic out once it loosens.
  4. 4 Reapply as needed for stubborn elastics.

Great for home: The bigger bottle is perfect for frequent takedowns and multi-kid households.

Our goal? Easier takedowns, less tugging, and a formula thoughtfully developed with your child's hair routine in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Pony Pop™ work?

Apply one drop from the dropper bottle (or brush on with the pen applicator) directly onto the hair elastic. The oil dissolves the elastic so it pops or slides right out — no scissors, no tugging, no tears.

What types of hair elastics does it work on?

Pony Pop™ is designed for plastic hair elastics only. It will not work on fabric-covered or cloth elastics.

Will Pony Pop work on any hair elastic?

No. Pony Pop is designed for compatible plastic hair elastics. It is not designed for fabric-covered, cloth, thick rubber, heavy-duty, or extremely thick and tightly woven elastics. For the best experience, choose thin plastic-based elastics designed to work with Pony Pop.

How quickly does Pony Pop work?

Results depend on the elastic. Some compatible elastics loosen quickly, while others may need more oil or another application. Fully saturating the band can help.

Should I choose the pen or the dropper?

The pen offers precise, targeted application in a compact format. The 30 mL dropper bottle gives you a larger supply for frequent use. If you're unsure, the pen is a convenient place to start.

Can I use Pony Pop on my child's hair?

Pony Pop is designed to help remove compatible plastic hair elastics from hairstyles. Use as directed, avoid eye contact, and supervise children during use.

Where can I get compatible elastics?

Shop Color Pop Hair Elastics, or choose a Pony Pop bundle that includes Fall Rainbow Elastics.

This completely solved the only part of bedtime that I dreaded. My husband and I used to debate over who had to try taking her hair ties out each night. Now its a non-issue.

Magic and no tears

One of our biggest battles is removing hair ties! Either I get snapped, or we rip hair. We’ve used the cut tools, and especially when my husband is in charge hair gets cut too. This has been the easiest, stress free way to doing my daughter hair.

Wow! What a life changing product!

Wow! What a life changing product! Genuinely - this makes bath time so much easier. My 18 month old daughter has always had a ton of hair and it has always been a struggle at the end of the day taking her hair out. She can’t believe the “magic” of this product, either!

No more tears!

This is a must have! My toddler would dread when it was time to take her hair ties out, and using a little cutter tool I have accidentally cut her hair before. This stuff works wonderfully, no more tears. It also smells wonderful.

Used it on my daughter’s elastics right after it arrived, and it works so well! The oil smells good too! The elastics came apart quickly in multiple spots and I was able to pull the pieces off without any hair coming with it. Big fan!

it’s not breaking the rubber band

I keep using it for my daughter’s hair and my hair too take off the bands and it’s not breaking off like I thought it was sometimes I have to use two drops for the oil one and with the pen it’s not even seem like it’s working. I’m not sure if I’m not using it correctly. You need help.

Such a lifesaver! 💕

A must-have for moms!
This makes removing hair elastics so much easier! I love that it comes with both the pen and dropper, and it’s especially helpful when my girls have tight elastics in their hair. It makes the process quick and gentle without pulling or tugging on their hair. Such a smart product for anyone who does little girls’ hairstyles! 💕🎀

It works but not as great as I was hoping or as great as your videos make it look

It works but not as great as I was hoping or as great as your videos make it look. It makes the elastics super sticky and kind of hard to get out of the hair.

No more babies crying and cutting hair by mistake! The oil is very gentle and you don’t need to put too much. Just a little is enough, just wait and see the magic happen!

This product is amazing! I have accidentally cut my kiddos hair too many times getting bands out and this eliminates that peoblem entirely! Will buy again 10/10

I ordered this per recommendation by an influencer I follow but was pretty disappointed. I have to put SO MUCH on the elastic to pop it. My husband said I should do 2 stars but I think the concept gives it 3 stars. I will not be repurchasing - lemon oil in a dropper is easier and cheaper! Concept is there but execution needs work!
