That one's easy.  You use weave hair on a track, and wrap it around your own hair.  Pinning the track in place as you go.  Then you take a piece of the weave, wrap it around the base of the pony tail to cover the tracks, and WALA!  you got a phony pony! 
 
You pin them with bobby pins?

I used to do that all the time when I had relaxed hair. I had a great straight hair draw string pony tail but I also used a piece of curly hair and wrapped it around with pins when I wanted a curly look.

I've been wearing a bun lately Unhappy.  You should join Keepitsimple, that's where I've been posting my pictures.  How have you been?  Wore your phony pony yet?

I've been doing good, I've lost the urge to straighten my hair (for now LOL)

I've worn the ready made phony ponies I have, haven't tried to make the one using tha tracks yet...I might try it with the leftover hair I have from the clip-ons I made

Try to hold out ladies! It's the best thing you could do for your hair. I'm soooo glad I don't have that issue anymore. My think now is keeping the frizz down in my hair.

Keep up the good work!

i have resolved to just wear a wig for a while.  I can't take this not using heat. So I found a inexpensive human hair wig that I will rock for a while.  How are you ladies doing?

I'm wearing a half wig and loving it.  Best thing in the world!  I get to rock the straight hair look without using heat!  I may have found my answer!

Thats good vanity! I like half wigs as well, though wheneva I wear them I have to have a headband or something ontop because my hair is too thin upfront to blend right/realistic like

Makes sense vanity. The half wig does sound like a good solution to wearing your hair straight with no heat.

My 2009 goals are to keep my hair healthy and get it past my shoulders finally.

Also doing a year long fitness challenge to get healthier and in shape! We're kicking that off the first week of the new year.

What are you guys doing for '09?

My 2009 goals are to keep my hair healthy: keep caring and protecting it and length wise would be to get to tha middle of my back, I'm near APL right now. And to get back in shape, I've slacked on tha exercise tip.
