    Hey If you are struggling to do your hair with one hand in a ponytail. What I used to do was get someone else to tie my hair in a ponytail and then practice wrapping another hairband round my ponytail just to get the practice of how to wrap the hairband round the hair. This might be a way that you could maybe progress to doing your hair in a ponytail with one hand. if you are struggling. I hope this tip helps you but I know you will get there in doing your hair it just takes practice.

      Hi Chiara, I looked you up just now on Instagram and on CZcams as my 89 year old mother was reading your article in a health magazine called Brain & Life through her health insurance she receives the magazines each month. We live on the east coast of Florida on the space coast near where our space shuttle launch is. Thank you for sharing your story in these videos and in the magazine and helping others to make life a little easier. ❤ 🌴🏖🌞 it's been a bit more chilli this year in the winter. 🥶

    I can't thank you enough ma'am. I had given up trying, and for years I we just shaved my head. I had decide just to let my hair down always, but I really just want my hair tied back. Then I found your video. I only watched it ONCE and now I can tie my hair. So thank you very much! you have made a very big difference in my life :)

    I’m having left shoulder replacement surgery soon, and fortunately, I’m right handed, however, as I always put my hair up in a high ponytail, or a messy bun, I’ve been bummed thinking it’ll be at least six weeks or more before I can do that again. I do have the additional problem that I am 5 or 6 months into growing my bangs out, so they tend to give me a lot of grief getting them into the ponytail and staying. Hairspray is a great idea for all my loose wings. Your video was great and I’m going to start practicing now. ❤❤❤ I’m really impressed with your skill at doing this! Your work with those hairpins is crazy!

    This is so cool. I had a brain injury 8 years ago with similar effects to a stroke; hemiplegia, dystonia etc etc. despite being 8 years ago and struggling a lot with my image as a young woman, I’ve never tried to do anything like this as I feel I couldn’t. But this is so useful to see how you’ve mastered it all ❤

      Hi, thank you for your comment. It took me a long time and lot of practice to be able to tie a ponytail. I think you maybe holding your ponytail too tightly with your finger, I let my finger slip around the ponytail whilst twisting it. The ponytail should then stay as a twisted tail of hair allowing you to clamp it on your shoulder and put a tie on. I hope this is helpful and you find away to do a ponytail. My finger does still get stuck sometimes

      It just takes a bit of practice and Somedays I get someone who uses two hands to do my hair because sometimes it’s just easier.
      You could always get someone else to tie your hair up in a ponytail and then practice putting another hairband round the ponytail band just to get the feel of how to put a hairband on the hair with one hand. Hope this helps.
