Choose Elastics That Work With Pony Pop
Pony Pop is designed for compatible plastic hair elastics. For the best experience, use thin plastic-based elastics, including Dittobug elastics designed for Pony Pop.
Pony Pop is not designed for thick rubber bands, fabric-covered elastics, heavy-duty elastics, or extremely thick and tightly woven bands. Results can vary depending on the elastic.

✨ How to Use Pony Pop
Brush Pen (6 mL)
- Twist the end of the pen until the brush fills with oil.
- Brush the oil directly onto the plastic hair elastic, making sure to saturate it.
- Allow the oil to work as the elastic loosens, then gently slide or pop the elastic out.
- If it doesn't release on the first try, reapply as needed.
For stubborn elastics, gently lift a layer of the band away from the scalp and apply oil while keeping the band pulled taut. Take care not to pull on the hair or press the applicator against the scalp.
Dropper Bottle (30 mL)
- Apply a drop directly onto the plastic hair elastic.
- Allow the oil to work on the band.
- Gently slide or pop the elastic out once it loosens.
- Reapply as needed for stubborn elastics.
Tip: Fully saturating the elastic and using a compatible band can make a big difference!
Adult supervision is recommended when using Pony Pop on children.
