After all, they didn’t braid their own hair or put it into a ponytail when they were children, that is, unless they happened to be in a metal band. But in this video, [Rene Ortner](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frt3r88p1RU "undefined") showcases one crazy trick for making a perfect ponytail: Use a vacuum cleaner.
