How to Cover Hair With Elastics
The easiest way to cover a hair elastic with your own hair is to wrap a small section of hair around the elastic and secure the end underneath.
How to Cover a Hair Elastic
- Add an elastic to the hair and on the last wrap, hold the elastic open with your finger.
- Take a small, thin section of hair from underneath or from the ponytail.
- Pull the strand over the elastic and wrap it around the base of the ponytail/on top of the elastic.
- Keep wrapping until the elastic is completely hidden.
- Tuck the end of the hair underneath the elastic.
- Gently pull and adjust the wrapped hair so it looks smooth and secure.
- Finish with a little hairspray if you want extra hold.

Mira Hairstyle Step by Step
What You’ll Need
Tools & Products
- A brush or detangling brush
- A fine-tooth comb (optional, for clean sections)
- Small clear or hair-colored elastics
- Optional: Hair straightener
Hair Prep Tip
Start by brushing your hair thoroughly to remove any knots and tangles. Make sure your hair is smooth and easy to work with before styling. Then create a clean middle part using a comb.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by leaving two pieces of hair out at the front to frame your face.
- Take a section of hair from the ear up towards the top of the head.
- Smooth the section with a brush or comb to make sure there are no bumps.
- Secure the hair into a small ponytail using an elastic.
- Add a few more elastics around the ponytail, placing them on top of the first elastic. This will help create more height and volume.
- To hide the elastics, take another elastic and wrap it around the ponytail.
- On the last pass of the elastic, don’t pull the hair completely through. Instead, keep the elastic around your finger.
- Take a tiny section of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the base to cover the elastic.
- Take the end of the small strand and tuck it underneath the elastic that you’re holding around your finger. This will secure the wrapped hair in place.
- Repeat the same steps on the other side.
- Finish the hairstyle by checking both sides and adjusting the face-framing pieces.
Styling Tip
This Mira hairstyle will look great with curls or waves, but if you want the hair to look just like it does in the movie, I recommend straightening the hair for a sleeker finish.
For the most recognizable Mira-inspired look, keep the hair smooth and straight and make sure the two face-framing pieces are clearly separated from the rest of the hair.
