I remember when I first saw a video of a dad putting his daughter’s hair in a ponytail. Avery was still a baby with no hair for me to try this awesome method out for myself.

Fast forward to today and she has plenty of crazy hair to vacuum. Going Mom is much better at the everyday, normal way of putting her hair in a ponytail, but my clumsy hands simply will not allow this. Luckily, I have the power of the vacuum on my side!

Here’s my demo of how to use the vacuum to put hair up in a ponytail:

An added benefit from this method is that any bugs or dirt get sucked up from her hair too. Hopefully she has none of that, but you never know. I’m just glad she’s so accepting of having a vacuum sucking up her hair as daddy tugs and twists in an effort to “style” the crazy curls.

Have you tried an out-of-the-norm method for styling hair?

What do you think about this vacuum method?
