The thing is that while a lady is doing a hijack, she is leading herself. At some point she should hand back the lead to the guy.
Sometimes this can be just by stopping leading herself, but in more complex hijacks, it would be a more deliberate action. IIRC, the way that I've seen this taught is that if the hijack is done in an open position (e.g. if the girl wants to do a pose or wiggle or something) then afterwards she should draw in a little to the guy, drop the tension in her arm a bit and let the guy pick it up again. (When hijacking the girl should and (I guess?) will need to put more tension through her arm to stop the guy from leading, and signal that she's taking over.)
Perhaps a follower who actually knows something about hijacking (compared with me, how just likes to get hijacked occasionally) can tell us if I'm talking nonsense.
(Actually, now that I read back what I've written, I think I'm saying pretty much the same thing as Ickle Chick'n.
