Ponytail Cap - Are you Serious?

Kohl's ponytail baseball cap is hair made simple. Photo: Courtesy Photo

Do you have ponytail envy? Do you eye women with long, thick hair who look great with it pulled back into an effortless-styled ponytail? They even make wearing it with a hat look fabulous!

And for women that are struggling to get their short, frayed ends secured into an elastic band only to have it fall out moments later, you may be thinking that there has to be a better way.

Well there is, if you ask the folks at Kohl's. The department store has introduced the ponytail baseball cap -- a shiny, spiraled blond synthetic ponytail attached to a denim cap.

Could this be the look we always wanted? Um, no.

For starters, the chances of it matching your natural hair color are almost zero. Secondly, what do you do when your hat flies off on a windy day? "Excuse me, have you seen my hat -- and my ponytail?" If you ask us, this is one cap to leave at home -- or better yet, at the store.

But there are plenty of other stylish options (and not just for bad hair days).

It’s amazing because nothing else was working for my wrinkles until I found the Dead Sea Masque ( Http://tr.im/DeadSeaMasque ), not topicals or even blue light treatment. People keep giving me compliments now and it feels great. I have only been using your product for two weeks and the difference in my skin tone is remarkable to say the least. I finally feel like I have healthy skin........

Actually this would the perfect headwear for a woman who has undergone chemotherapy for breast (or any other) cancer, lost their hair, and looking for something inexpensive to wear. Since I am a 3 year breast cancer survivor, I can tell you that I spent a fortune on a wig, scarves, and hats.
So---this is definitely a welcome product in my eyes! Way to go, Kohl's!!!!

Wow so there is actually a niche market out there for this thing. It's just a shame that the market has such a tragic backstory. You're better off not being cheap and just buy a blonde wig.

OMG,, this is ALMOST as bad (if not equally horrid) as the new "Tube flops" at Dillard's..! It's a flip-flop with socks attached.. I guess they didn't get the memo that socks & sandals were a no-no in anyone's case.. sooo,,,, what is fashion coming too? && WHERE did it go???lol

There are NO no-no's when it comes to whatever one wants to put on one's body. Maybe they have cold feet but still want them to 'breathe'...you don't know. As long as they are covered...hey if they want to wear flowered shorts with a plaid shirt it's no skin off my nose. I enjoy the smile they give me. So sad that you sit in such harsh judgement.

Um, well,, harsh is a little bit over the top to put it. I can have an opinion especially when it is something ridiculous. They have something called 'leg warmers' if your legs get cold. I'm just saying it's pretty gross to attach socks to the ever disgusting flip-flop. They are the dirtiest shoe. I have a pair, yes, but they are still a really dirty shoe. && I guess you wouldn't like to know how expensive they are, for a flip-flop, with a gross sock attached to it.

Not if you are Chinese, we wear socks wiith sandals all the time. The style is pronounced Pee-it in Mandarin. It is very comfortable.

That is totally different than this flip-flop. I find it gross because the sock is attached to the shoe at the sides, and it just seems disgusting to me. Then you would have to wash the sock with the shoe attached to it. I think all in all, just cut the sock from the shoe!!!LOL

Yes, this is evidenced by the fact that you already own a closet full of them.

The author of this article is obviously really young. There's nothing "wrong" w/being young, but one must "hone-up" on one's history, lest one make themselves look foolish, which is what she is doing in this article. The pony-tail cap has been around for YEARS and i mean like 20 years+. The author comes from a place where she has to ask if this is SERIOUS right in the headline. She is ill-compassionate to the cancer sufferer or ANYONE else who might not have hair on top of their head or anywhere else the cap might cover and who would welcome the feel of a little ponytail swaying around the back of their head. It has NOTHING to do w/"fashion" per-se, which is where the author is coming from. So I say to the author to GROW UP, get mature and I say to her boss that she shouldn't write another article until she becomes more mature or mature ENOUGH to where she can see all sides in a situation rather than expound upon the "yukkiness" of something she sees as being deficient.

I agree Mya. The author of this article sounded immature to me also. My Mother went through chemo years ago and I would have loved to have offered this choice if It would have made her feel happy if only for a minute. This author should have been a little more observant of what this product was more about, not just fashion per say.

Regarding the "Ponytail Cap", I think I saw something like the Ponytail Cap in a mailing I use to get back in the 1980's or 90's, it was as a Halloween type of Item.
Also note that the Ponytail Cap isn't just for Females, as there are Males who try to or use to have Ponytail Style Hair, personally, I think such an Item for older persons, is Vanity Minded however, if the Ponytail Cap could be improved, perhaps it would be good for, mostly Girls who lost their hair due to Cancer Treatments or other factors of ill health and or any Foulplay, until, hopefully, real hair would grow again.

We bought one of these ten years ago for my mother-in-law undergoing breast cancer chemotherapy. It was a white cap with rhinestone lettering on the front that said "Bad Hair Day." It also had a much better looking pony tail than the lame version in the picture above.....

Shoot, my family would've bought that as a joke for my grandfather, who sad to say passed away nearly two summers ago from lung cancer. As a joke for his last Christmas, we bought him one of those rastafarian (sp ?) caps with the fake dreadlocks attached, and being the comedian that he is, he put it on ! A friend of mine, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, braided her long hair, and after it got cut off she had a friend attach it to her bandana. Whenever she went out riding her motorcycle, she wore the braid, and no one knew she was bald underneath. Sadly she passed away from the cancer 4 years ago this February. I think it's a hoot.
