Like how many inches do you think it's appropriate to put it in a ponytail? I can get mine in a little one that's about 2-3 inches but would that just look like a rat tail?
Hey, a tail's a tail. I've been told everything from 7-8 inches up to a foot. The bottom line is, if you can get all of your hair into the tail, then you got yourself an official ponytail. I started putting mine into a tail before all my hair would fit, leaving some that I tucked behind my ears. That looked okay, but I know some who apply mousse, or some other congealant, to hold those loose hairs in place. That way, no matter how much hair is too short, you can at least get the "look" of a complete tail.
