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.

The double loop tie has a secondary loop to help you tighten the tie around your hair. If you struggle to grip the tie well enough to pull it tight this might be the hair tie for you! The button colour for the loop may vary, we will choose one for you at random. Will it 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?
