Ok, ya just put it on loose just enough to lift so light can hit growth. I was just saying last night I need to get light in, but was unsure how to do. This worked perfect just need to get them going a bit. Thanks bud.I like to take them off after 2 or 3 days because I didn't want anything to underdevelop too bad inside the ponytail. I have not really tried to keep them tied up longer but eventually they will die off.
