Phony ponys and half wigs

I just bought a drawstring pony and a half wig for some variety in my protective styles, and I was wondering, those who use them, how do make sure your hair is protected underneath?

 

I use the baggie method...also my Fake afro puff hole was actually too small for my shrunken afro puff.  I took the string out and pinned the area where the draw string was located around my puff, also I did the baggie method to make my own puff small enough for it to fit over.

No problem!  Actually it was my first time using the baggie method. I just used a mixture of oils. However, I have read some forums where people mixed conditioner in it. I might try it this weekend.  Let us know how it goes.
