A tool for guiding strands of a ponytail through a hair foundation on a person's head, comprising:

• an elongated hollow needle having a pointed distal tip configured for penetrating the hair foundation, the needle having an open proximal end;
• a cord at least partially disposed within the needle such that the cord defines a noose beyond the open proximal end of the needle;
• and
• a hollow noose sizing element surrounding at least part of the cord and defining an open proximal end juxtaposed with the noose, the noose sizing element being slidably disposed relative to the needle for movement between a release position, wherein the proximal end of the noose sizing element defines a release distance to the proximal end of the needle and wherein the noose defines a release circumference, and a hold position, wherein the proximal end of the noose sizing element defines a hold distance to the proximal end of the needle and wherein the noose defines a hold circumference, the hold distance being greater than the release distance and the hold circumference being smaller than the release circumference.
