You make us two-armed people look clumsy.

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I recently broke my wrist and had to have very complicated surgery so I am trying to learn how to be more independent and not rely on my husband for everything. I've made a lot of progress, but doing anything with my hair has been difficult. Really appreciate that you are helping the rest of us be more independent.

I'm a dude with long hair that just has a broken shoulder. They repaired it in surgery with screws and pins but my left arm is completely immobilized for six weeks. I can't imagine the strength and patients it must take to live this way. Also, thanks for doing this video. I nailed this first try. I was tired of asking for help and everyone was tired of me asking. And that was just a few days. Living like this... I dunno how anyone could do it. It's impressive and admirable.

You made my wife start crying while watching this. She lost her right arm in 2006. Thank you so much for posting these videos

It’s interesting to see how you deal with life. It’s inspirational, you are an amazing woman!

oh my god i just put my hair back for the first time in 10 years. AHHHHHHH

This really helped me... I was in a bike accident and even though I didn’t lose my arm I have no use of it now for the next few months! You’re an inspiration thank you so much ☺️

OMG! I lost one arm to cancer three years ago and this is the one thing I have never worked out how to do. Awesome! Thank you!

Here's a good reason why I'm happy the internet exists. I've never had to think about one handed hair tying before, but I am so certain there are countless people who can benefit from this info, but wouldn't know how to find/access it without the internet. Incredible, what you are doing with your channel.

This made me appreciate my life even more & be grateful for the things i do have

I recently broke my arm and I’ve had the hardest time doing my hair and this literally helped me So much!!!!!

I recently had shoulder surgery. I've hated this time with an immobile and useless arm. You almost brought me to tears. You're so beautiful and seem so positive and optimistic. We all have so much to be greatful for when we really take time to notice. ❤️

Thank you Megan! been feeling a bit sorry for myself as I've had an op on my hand and can't use it for some weeks. Your video did two things.....firstly I'm off to try a one handed pony tail but more importantly reminded me that people overcome huge challenges and manage to inspire others. You are an inspiration.

Two days ago I broke my arm. I have long hair and my son tried putting it in a ponytail for me. Needless to say we had a good laugh. So glad I found you and your amazing video. Thank you so much. sending you much love and appreciation. You are an inspiration 😘

I just broke my dominant hand/wrist in two places where I am unable to use my hand at all. I really appreciate you sharing this aspect of your life. I have found the last few days very frustrating not being able to do things as before. Even though my circumstance is temporary, I am very thankful for your videos to be able to gain back a sense of my independence. I am a doer and having friends and family do things for me has not been easy. You truly are an inspiration!

When I tell you it’s been 4 years since I started lookin on KZfaq for some one who was truly one armed that could help me with this I literally cried watching this because now o can practice this method... I lost the use of my arm 4 years ago due to being hit by a drunk driver while I was standing on the sidewalk I’m so grateful for this post

This is v appreciated I’m a double above elbow from birth n I just managed a slight messy but decent looking bun for the first time within 10 minutes using my foot in replacement of the hand to gather the hair. I’ve only ever seen tutorials by people with a partial limb usually below elbow and one hand together so is too complicated for my two partial arms and my feet to manage anything more than a tuggy knot in my hair that looks like I’ve been dragged through a bush backwards 😂💕Hopefully with practice I can manage putting it as a pony and not looking messy 💕 Thank you ☺️💞

Thank you so much for posting this! I am one-handed as of two months ago and I have been losing my mind trying to relearn how to do the simplest of tasks that I used to take for granted, and it has become really discouraging & depressing at times. Thank you for posting this, and for giving me a little hope & sanity while I’m clumsily relearning how to tend to life’s details, lol 💕

I have a daughter who was born with one arm and I’ve been scouring the internet for a video that shows how to do a one-handed ponytail and this is the best one I’ve seen. Thank you!

I just had wrist surgery and my dominant arm is currently unusable. Meanwhile we have record heat this weekend and all I want is my hair off my neck. My sister sent me this video. I appreciate the hair help. And also I’m just appreciative for what you are doing in general. Thanks for making the world a better place in your own unique way.

WOW! I have both my arms and I tried to put my hair up with one arm after watching you and that shit is hard! I gave up. I love watching you, I like positive people who remind me that my hurtles in life are only as bad as I let them be. That we can overcome anything.

You’re so awesome for providing this for people who have arm injuries or no arm. I have very limited use of my right arm due to a boat propeller, and the most frustrating thing is trying to do my hair. You’re so beautiful and you make it look effortless. I appreciate this so much ❤️

I’ve been relying on my mum and my sisters to do my hair for all of my 22 years, I was born with mild cerebral palsy, it effects my right side and watching these types of videos just makes me believe that there may just be a way to be more independent and tie my own hair, so thank you xx

I broke my arm this week and relearning how to live has been incredibly overwhelming. THIS VIDEO GAVE ME HOPE! Thank you!

omg this is so weird I break my finger and all of a sudden this video pops up when I needed it how weird

I've got two arms and used the bed trick for the entirety of high school.

You’re amazing, I just broke my fingers on one hand and living alone and having long hair is the hardest part. I know I will heal but girl chef’s kiss to your awesomeness and helping others

Ohh Jesus, you saved my live! Three month ago y broke my shoulder really bad and dislocated my shoulder. Since this accident nothing is like befor and the doctors said that everything that's higher than my shoulder will be really hard to manage... the while time I struggled so bad with that and I was so unhappy but u showed me tat everything is possible. Thank u Sooo much that u give me live quality back. You are a wonderful person and so inspiring.

This tutorial is a god send! I currently still have my left hand but cannot use it due to a nerve tumor, it's unfixable so when they remove the tumor in the future, my hand will be the same as it is now, unusable but without the tumor. Trying to find tips on how to do stuff is hard but your videos are great! Thank you so much!

You should do a get ready with me video!

I broke my right arm 2 days ago, I live by myself and was with a very low self esteem for not being able to take care of my hair properly. I was struggling trying to tie it and was almost giving up when I found your video. Thank you so much for sharing!!! The wall method worked perfectly 😭🙏💖

Thanks for this tutorial! I'm 54 years old and was born physically disabled. I can't tell you how many times I have tried tying my hair on my own and each time unsuccessfully. Well, I finally did it thanks to your video. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

How many two-armed people just tried this and failed miserably?

You probably helped so many amputees with this!

I love how you did your ponytail pure genius! I lost my left arm to brain damage in an accident 27 years ago. You are an inspiration thank you

Thank you! I had a stroke 2.5 months ago. Now only have use of 1 arm. Live with all men that can't do a ponytail to save their life. I appreciate the tutorial more than you know!!!

Wow thank you so much for sharing this. Way different situation but 2 years ago I had a frozen right shoulder. I was in excruciating pain and did PT 3 times a week for 6 months. Not being able to move my shoulder at all and not being able to brush my hair with my dominant hand let alone do a ponytail was so frustrating! Your technique makes it look so simple. Just found your channel! Thank you for sharing.

I have a frozen Shoulder and can only use one arm. I'm going to try this! Thanks!

I just recently cut a tendon on the top of my finger causing a crap ton of problems leading to surgery that is keeping me in a large cast for the next 2 or so months. I woke up this morning (yesterday was surgery) realizing I didn't know how I was going to put my very long, wavy, and wildly thick hair up in a pony out of my face. The things I take for granted everyday I now need to learn how to do differently. I've always had a high regard and respect for anyone who had/s to re/learn to do something as "simple" as hair or dressing..... but I have a completely different and slightly personal respect for anyone in this regard now. Thank you for being here to help my temporary condition. ❤ If we didn't have you and others in similarly permanent "situations" (I couldn't find a word that more accurately and respectfully articulated what I was trying to portray) people like me who take advantage of our abilities to do "the small stuff" wouldn't know how to overcome these barriers. You give back more than you think and more than some probably deserve. ❤

I just had my entire left arm put in a cast today after breaking my Radius and Radius Head Skateboarding. Was thinking about getting my hair chopped tomorrow as I couldn't figure out how on Earth I could tie it up with one hand and can't stand wearing my long locks down in the heat of Auckland summer. You brightened my crappy day and inspired me to keep my lovely long hair. Thank you and good luck with your channel Megan. Peace.

You are lovely inside and out! A true inspiration!

I bet it took loads of practice - I tried the methods and couldn't do any lol. After shoulder surgery 2 weeks ago, I am one handed (other arm is in a large sling) for 6 weeks, and not being able to do my own (long) hair is driving me crazy!

Thank you so much. I have very long hair. I am having rotator cuff surgery. I’ll be in a sling for 8 weeks. Everyone keeps telling me I need to cut my hair. I am going to practice this and keep my long hair. THANK YOU!!!

Had surgery yesterday, arm in cast. Was laying here regretting not asking someone to put in pony before I was left alone. Thanks for the help! Now when pain meds make me sick I wont be covered in vomit. Your awesome!!

I broke my wrist and I can’t put mine up, this helped a lot!!❤️❤️❤️

I tried it. my hair is super thick but I eventually managed. mad props.

I just had an elbow replacement and I’m in tears because I was in so much pain trying to put my hair up to sleep and that was so easy. Thank you!!!

I just broke my elbow and didn’t think there would be any way to do this. Now I see there is. Thank you SO much! ❤

This video is pure genius! I definitely couldn’t manage this.

Again, so so inspired. You are amazing

Fractured one arm and now facing the hardships .. huge respect and a lot of love 🤗❤️

Thank you for posting this video. I had a stroke and lost function in my left arm. I can do many things except tie my hair. I had it cut really short, coz I dobt want to bother my husband to help me with my hair. You inspired my to grow my hair again which I actually like long. I'LL BE USING THIS TECHNIQUE. GOD TREMENDOUDLY BLESS YOU

Very interesting, I have cerebral palsy and I use my chin to hold my hair in place while I put the rubber band in my hair. I agree with the longer hair . I tell my hair stylist all the time my hair must be below my shoulders.

Your hair is so pretty ❤

Omg. I was in a motorcycle accident 8 weeks ago and my arm Is paralyzed. Not being able to Put my hair up has been the one thing that has brought me to tears. I’ve tried everything. Because I can’t stand my hair down. I was contemplating cutting it all off. Thank you SO much for this video. I can’t tell you how much it means to me. I know it sounds dumb but To be able to do this one small thing might just pull me out of my depression and renew some hope. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

Megan, you are a star! I broke my arm whilst solo travelling and living with bucket wash basic facilities. Learning to put a bra on one-handed and put my hair up (crucial in a hot climate) from your videos saved the day. I have just shared the links to your videos with another pal who has broken her arm. Thank you.

"On the little cinnamon roll you have made on the back of your head" haha I love her she's so pretty and an amazing personality. ♥💌❣💟💞💝💜💛💚💙💗💖💕💔💓❤💘😮👌😊😃

You are so incredible 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏻 thank you really

I just tore my rotator cuff and haven't been able to ponytail or bun my hair and it's driving me NUTS. Figured, "There's gotta be someone with one arm who has already solved this problem." Lo, found your vid and wanted to offer a THANK YOU. Finally got my hair off my neck in this scorching summer.

I have never taken the time to comment on a youtube video and I don't know if you still read these- but in 2015 I lost use of a lot of my left side after a whole bunch of childhood brain cancer and I am 21 now and have stood by that there is some way to do everything in this world one-handed except put up your hair accurately (mine is fluffy and curly so the suave pull through methods are way trickier) but I just found this video and gave myself my first high-pony by myself since I was 17---better than Christmas, thank you so much

Very cool thank you for sharing 😍

Buttoning your jeans with one arm!!

I"m three weeks into wearing a sling after shoulder surgery. I can't raise my dominant right hand for 6 weeks.. I'm a long-haired male middle school teacher, so I can't just wear a ball cap every day. I'm so glad I found your video. Thanks for posting!

Really helped with my bun for my undercut, broke my arm and woke up with realization I need both hands to tie my hair up, watched your video and semi for it. Thanks for the help!

Wish I saw this a year ago when I had hand surgery!! Awesome!!! How do you put on a bra?? That was my hardest thing too!!

If you watched this video you gotta give it a like because it’s awesome Dem da rules 🤷🏽‍♀️

I just broke my right elbow and middle finger. Your videos are changing everything ! Thank you 🙏🏻

Thank you. I’m a domestic abuse survivor and I’m still recovering from an injury to my arm. I’ve been losing my mind trying to figure out how to get my hair up and out my face and I found your video and it was a blessing. Thanks so much for this video❤️

Thank you so much for sharing this. I broke my right arm in a motorcycle accident two weeks ago and cannot tell you how wonderful it felt to put my own hair up today. I’ll be a forever subscriber ❤️

Thanks so much for this video. I had shoulder surgery and am struggling with my hair. It has given me great appreciation for one of the many challenges you have learned to overcome. I've got mad respect for you and others who just find a way. Thanks again!!

Thanks so much for sharing I separated my shoulder today and can’t use one of my arms this video was really helpful

I recently broke my hand and the most frustrating part has been my hair and now I know how to put my hair up with one hand. Thank you so much

This video was so helpful! I recently broke all of the fingers on my left hand in a car accident and haven’t been able to tie my hair. I can’t wait to show my fiancé what I’ve learnt! He’s been helping with my hair up until this point and I’m sure he’ll be relieved because he’s been really struggling ahaha!

Thanks so much for making this video, I broke my arm severely and my fiance is out of town. Not being able to do my own hair was a big fear of mine, I am so glad you and this video exist ❤️

Thank you so much for showing this to us. I just broke my collarbone and don’t want to do anything fussy with my hair. This has been a lifesaver to get it out of my face. Thank you! ❤️

Thank you! I broke my wrist and while my boyfriend is a gem who has now mastered a ponytail, he isn't always around when I'm getting ready and it.is.hot. You are wonderful for making this❤

Thank you so much for this!! I just dislocated my elbow 2 days ago and was already contemplating whacking my hair off. You are truly amazing and so inspirational ❤️

MEGAN, Giiirrl, I cut my hand super deep 3 weeks ago and ended up w 25 stitches. my hair has been a challenge to say the least. today, i thought, you know, i bet someone else figured this out already and up pops your beautiful self! OMG! thaaaaank you. my hair has looked soo jacked all month! i have needed so much help and this is one more thing i can do now! you angel woman from the stars, you shine on sister girl!!

This past year, at age 67, I decided that I was going to let my hair grow out. My hair is always falling in my eyes and face so I am trying to use a pony tail to remedy this problem. Unfortunately, I fell about a month ago and tore my left tricep clean off the bone... I live alone and did not know what to do about my hair since I've been in a cast and brace and am limited with what I can do with my arm. So... even though I haven't tried it yet, I just want to thank you for showing this old single guy how it can be done! Your video has made my life much better! Thank you so much!

Having fractured my rt hand n having to ask others for help for past many days, I can't thank you enough. U have moved me and inspired me. Thanks a lot 😊

Hi Megan, I recently had an accident which severed my nerves/tendons in my right (dominant) hand and has rendered it unable to do pretty much anything, although in some years time I will be able to use it again, I was having some trouble adapting to a new reality of only having use of one arm for a while, causing a deep depression. So I started youtubing how to do things with only one arm/hand I came across your channel, and might I say that your constant positivity is absolutely inspiring. I have learnt so much from you it's incredible and I'd just like to thank you for that. You are a very down to earth woman and it's so refreshing. Thank you for making the content you make. It has helped me beyond words

I just broke my wrist and arm *today* and I’m already frustrated and freaking hot as heck from not being able to put my hair up. It’s July, and I don’t have ac. So you seriously rock. So glad I found you! So helpful! Thank you!

I just had shoulder surgery and this video was a life saver. I took my hair down bc it was all messy and no one was home to help me fix it. Thank you so much!

Thank you so so so so much for making videos that are so helpful. My daughter, who is now 15, had a stroke in utero (when I was pregnant). She has limited use of her right hand and these videos have taught her so many skills that I can’t help her learn. Thank you so much. You are such an inspiration and a life changer for my sweet girl!!!! ❤️

As an occupational therapy student, it was really helpful to see examples of how this could be done. I can teach this method to future clients in order to help them improve their independence. Thanks for sharing, this was really cool.

Thank you so much for this! I recently lost use of my arm/hand and have been struggling to find ways to be independent! I went back to work and not being able to adjust or do my own hair has been a HUGE thorn in my side! Thank you for taking the time to share your journey! You have help so many!

Just watched your video with my five year old daughter who is looking for ways to be able to do her own hair with one arm. This video has made her very happy. Thank you!

Thanks man I just recently broke my arm my hair is been getting in my face ever sense I really appreciate this video

Thank you. I needed this. Broke my right arm in 2015 and the way it healed made it impossible for me to do certain things. I can't reach up to do a pony tail. Have been having my hair cut shorter because I couldn't figure out how to do it by myself. Now that we are in quarantine and my hair has grown too long, I now can do my hair because of your kindness to show how it's done. You can teach an old Grammie new tricks.

OMG!! 😭😂 THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I just had shoulder surgery earlier today and I was thinking to myself how in the hell am I going to get my hair up in a high bun with one hand!? I’m home alone right now and it’s driving me nuts that my hair tie came out so I decided to google it since everything seems to be on the Internet these days. Lo and behold, I found your video and I am so incredibly grateful to you right now! 😂 Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Life saver! I broke my arm last week and this is so helpful. You’re awesome.

Thanks so much! I recently broke my arm and have been having so much trouble with every little thing that I didn’t realise would be so difficult with only one arm. I am realising how lucky I really am that my arm is only broken. I would not last a minute living like someone as strong as you. Thank you for this and thank you for being you ❤️

Megan, I am so grateful I chose this sight, I loved your tutorial. I'm 61 years old and have hair to the middle of my back and am going through full shoulder replacement shortly. I did not want to cut it so I have a few weeks to practice, thank you so much!

I just recently injured my rotator cuff and I have no use of my left arm for the time being. I've been going nuts trying to figure out how to get my hair back and up without help. Thank you so much for posting this video. I haven't quite gotten it yet but I'm not giving up. Chica you're an inspiration.

This is the most realistic and actually one handed tutorial I’ve seen on YT so far I had a stroke and therapy couldn’t help me so I’m a hemiplegic. This really helps me thank you

Absolute life saver! I broke my arm a week ago and I’ve been having to shower daily because I couldn’t get my hair up with second day hair, which just made everything more complicated. At least now I can go a little bit longer in between washing my hair! Thanks!

This is amazing, you have no idea how much this helps me. I’ve recently had one side of me paralysed and my hair is too important to me to cut it off so having this tutorial means I can feel like myself. You are amazing!

Brilliant! I broke my arm 8 years ago, classic-length mischievous hair, I honestly thought I would have to cut 3 feet off! I found videos that helped me get through the 6 week cast. Your system is way better than what I had found. Who knows how many you are helping. Thank you!

Still helping people in 2023. Don't have use of my arm or hand after a bad fall and break. I LOVE ponytails. Had to get braids just to keep my hair off my face. Thank you sooooooooooo much! I'm hopeful❤

Thank you so much! I broke my arm a few weeks ago and this is the first moment I’ve been able to be self sufficient with my hair! Such a relief!
