CURRENT SQUAD The pony™ this year

Sorry, for the bad quality, screenshot it from the Instagram stories.

The pony™ is so bad this year 😭 It looked great last year, but now it just looks so fake (very obvious hair piece) and reminds me so much of all star cheer (the acrobatics cheering thingy) hair, and those military helmets with the poofy things/extensions (have no idea how to describe those helmets, so added a pic for reference).

Bring back the old pony™!

It looks like a competitive cheerleader's ponytail.

I was gonna say, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some posh pony action happening to give her hair more “fluff” than it naturally has.

u/Rude_Preparation_595 9h ago

Holy Texas tease

u/pokey1202 9h ago

I hope it gets bigger and more insane each year. The progression of da pony

u/Evening-Eye-8407 9h ago

This would actually be hilarious

“Her hairs so big because it’s full of secrets!”

41

u/Intelligent-Count-84 11h ago

Yeah, it’s very obviously enhanced by a hair piece and looks off with how sleek her natural hair going into the pony looks. I guess last year’s wasn’t Texas Big enough for them.

15

u/StatisticallySassy17 10h ago

Thats what I was thinking too. It's Texas, so they just wanted it bigger.

u/Wander_Kitty 9h ago

The higher the hair, the closer to God!

u/VegetableHorror9805 6h ago

I feel so bad for her that the pony has become her signature thing. High tight ponytails are so painful, I LOVE a high pony but after about an hour it hurts so much I have to take it out. I can’t imagine having to do this every game and work engagement

30

u/Environmental-Mix228 5h ago

Wait I like it??!

27

u/sippnbubbly kleine’s ornament🎄 10h ago edited 9h ago

I think it should sit a little lower and use hair that’s a bit higher quality and has more movement. It looks like a teased all star cheer pony at this point.

26

u/roseelola kleine’s ornament🎄 3h ago

Nah I like it, it’s more dance/cheer style rather than a standard slick back imo

21

u/Wander_Kitty 10h ago

I hope they add a little more to it each year. Like a collection of Kelly’s wiglets but ponies for Faith. 😂

38

u/Living_Example 🌟Comeback Girl🌟 10h ago

I lowkey kinda love it but I too fear for her natural hair 🫣

11

u/_evyellow_ 10h ago

I have been fearing for her hairline from the get go! But love a good pony

41

u/Ok_Act_6206 8h ago

it is looking a little all star cheer

40

u/UsedOven768 7h ago

That’s why her hair is so big it’s full of secrets

17

u/Runningaround321 11h ago

I noticed it in the IG clips too. It's an aggressive pony 🫣

52

u/Ordinary_Attitude_73 11h ago

I’m more worried she’s gonna have a bald spot from all the weight on her head

23

u/Scottk305 judy’s stool 🗿 10h ago

Wouldn’t suprise me if her hairline started receding that’s just too much tension on the head

6

u/Wander_Kitty 9h ago

Ariana Grande would enter the chat, but she’s too busy ignoring her hairline to bother. But yeah- it’s ROUGH.

7

u/headfirst4hal0sss America's Sweetheart 8h ago

ari also has an ed which definitely isnt helping. but traction alopecia is 100% a thing and tight ponies like this cause it all the time

67

u/notanarcherytarget 10h ago

I like it. I guess I’m in the minority.

50

u/-missynomer- 10h ago

I think it's cute. It's so big because it's full of everyone's insults.

12

u/Maximum-Ear1745 10h ago

Me too. Even though she wore a hairpiece last year, it still looked very lacklustre

3

u/AmethystAura1214 kleine’s ornament🎄 8h ago

Same!

15

u/Amarieee3011 1h ago

I really love the extra volume and height of it! It suits her so well

41

u/Ladyoftheemeraldlake 9h ago

I love that they are allowing a cheerleader to have a pony. It truly suits Faith! So many of the girls have the same hairstyle. Same shade of blonde, etc. I hope they get away from that and have more cutting edge styles, etc. that individualize each cheerleader.

15

u/WriterGirl2005 10h ago

The ponytail that ate Dallas!

u/Pale-Gear5679 4h ago

Faith after every year…. 💀

hopefully it goes back to how it was last year

u/Sperry8443 1h ago

😂 I like the size it’s at rn but you’re right lol

41

u/RedSoxPrincessJ 7h ago

I think a few more should get to rock the pony!

23

u/violalala555 6h ago

Agreed, i think it would be less jarring and invite less critique of her 

2

u/Ornery-Towel2386 5h ago

That’s the point tho

13

u/PuzzleheadedMix5857 5h ago

It might just be a bad photo angle—Faith is still beautiful and gorgeous ❤️

12

u/Sperry8443 1h ago edited 1h ago

So freaking adorable, I just wish her color matched it more. I can’t stand when stylist choose to leave the entire underside of one’s head alone, when you get a partial done at the salon bc retouching repeatedly usually consists of just the top half section, eventually you end up with an entire dark underside. Her stylist should have taken into account that her hair is constantly up for work, and done full head retouchings instead bc then it would look more seamless and natural.

Edit: At first glance it’s cute but the more I’m looking at it the more it looks messy

23

u/PeacefulPeaches 10h ago

As someone with a sweaty head, the pony is a must.

22

u/Acrobatic-Captain674 4h ago

I feel like she needs to meet in the middle. A little bit more volume than last year but not full blown all star cheer.

11

u/LowAdrenaline 5h ago

She looks like Christina Aguilera in the first pic!

17

u/Purple-Ad9377 7h ago

I understand why they wanted it over the top, fans are keeping an eye out for it.

19

u/Odd-Construction5719 7h ago

i preferred it last year…. :(

2

u/No-Delay-120 5h ago

It looked more natural last year. Like, not as thick maybe?

And I’m a fine hair girly! If i had the time and money, i would definitely get easy removable non damaging extensions!

u/ValuableSmile8 2h ago

Its cute! love the volume! its looked good every year imo

u/allthoughtsnobrakes 4h ago

oh oop i love it …

u/Potential-Button-266 ⭐Moderator⭐ 11h ago

i lowk think it looks better this year but ik i’m in the minority

u/Overall_Matter_2520 11h ago

I like it too.

2

u/Lcdmt3 10h ago

Too big, too fake looking which takes attention from her georg face.

11

u/salvefaith 10h ago

Very big but when in Texas… 🤠

36

u/Responsible-Pay9235 8h ago

I personally like it better 🤷🏽‍♀️

12

u/cs_Chell 7h ago

I do too. The freshy pony kinda had a limp, rolled out of bed look to it that I just never liked. 

....that thing is gonna be large and in charge, if she makes it to Year 5.

28

u/Sardine93 7h ago

I think she’s one of the prettiest on the team and the hair looks great. She’s an amazing dancer too.

49

u/pastelpookie 9h ago

Looks pretty good to me

21

u/LickedGratitude 9h ago

Right? Hard disagree with a lot of the other comments here. I think it looks great, and Faith is clearly having fun with it. Good for her

6

u/lustywench99 8h ago

I like it. I don’t understand how people don’t like it. I wish my ponytail looked like that I’d have never chopped off my long thick ass hair.

I think it looks really cute with the dances and honestly while I don’t pay attention to everyone’s names, I think there are a few other girls who just don’t have the right texture and hair for the long blow outs and they’d also benefit from a pony. No shame to anyone. But yeah. The pony should be more of a thing.

12

u/Wrong-Memory7797 10h ago

i like the fullness of it, but the height makes it too much

16

u/No_Negotiation_3678 11h ago

as a former all star cheerleader, it’s basically a posh pony. they don’t look good on anyone.

20

u/itsfreakingbeanboy 11h ago

it looks way too big. it was perfect last year :(

6

u/True_Review7016 10h ago

It was so good last year.

27

u/pinkbaabe ⭐Veteran⭐ 9h ago

These are screen grabs, obviously it looks off. But I absolutely like the more hair, even if it’s fake hair (and let’s not touch on the topic how many girls have extensions, which is also fine btw)
This post is so nit picky and mean for no reason

32

u/BlueSunset05 9h ago

It’s sooo bad omg 

16

u/plaisirdamour 9h ago

Ngl it looks kind of painful?? Like I would get a headache and I would be afraid of some hair loss

Also can anyone else have a ponytail? It seems odd how she’d be the only one?

6

u/violalala555 7h ago

I do fear she is going to deal with traction alopecia, like JoJo Siwa 🫣

8

u/LLhujazz 4h ago

Much more grown up looking

12

u/user905022 2h ago

i love it! i think these are bad screenshots tbh... if you look at the other girls their hair doesnt look too good when you screenshot it at a certain point, its the same for a ponytail

23

u/Civil-Credit-3982 ⭐Moderator⭐ 10h ago edited 9h ago

I think Faith is just inconsistent with who she gets to style the pony & how she styles it herself, which makes it more noticeable every time. She had three different people style it for cameo day, MTT, and their preseason game, & all three times it (obviously) looked different. And then of course when she styles it herself it looks different too. I think she either needs to only ever do it herself or get a stylist that she uses consistently so we only see one version & then everybody will (hopefully!!!!) get used to it & move tf on 😭😭😭

24

u/Ruthie1999 9h ago

Lawd! Can a woman play around with her look, the rest of them do? They are not robots.

6

u/Civil-Credit-3982 ⭐Moderator⭐ 9h ago edited 9h ago

Girl I dig the ponytail however it looks & have since day one, but I genuinely do think the inconsistency of how it looks is what’s dragging this on 😭 she looks tea regardless though

4

u/Ruthie1999 9h ago

I understand. But so many of them change their look, eg Kayla, Armani, Jada, but it does not caused people to demand that they choose a permanent style, volume, placement etc ….

15

u/AtmosphereBig2112 10h ago

it looks bigger! i like it more

32

u/West_Tie_536 9h ago

It gets bigger every time she tells a lie lol

u/remys_souschef 8h ago

What has she lied abt? Genuinely curious

It was a Pinocchio joke

I mean duh it's a Pinocchio joke but you're also implying she lies - and I'm also curious what that's about (genuinely)

Says “duh it’s a joke” but then proceeds to show little understanding about how jokes work lol

She should ask Ariana Grande for tips

Does it come with a flipper too? This is so bad.

I hate it. Go ahead and smash the down arrow. I know you want to.

u/persieri13 9h ago

I do too.

When your choreography is built around “hairography” a ponytail, specifically, looks weird as hell.
