How to Use Ponytail Hair Extensions?

A ponytail hair extension can add versatility to your hairstyles. Most "ponys" are attached to your hair with two or more clip-in hair extensions combs and may include a hidden drawstring for added security. Those made with human hair tend to be more expensive but allow greater options in styling than those created with synthetic fibers. Both the color and the texture of the ponytail extension should be closely matched to your own hair for the most natural look possible, and a wide variety of lengths are available. 

Ponytail hair extensions can be invaluable accessories when you are short on time and be having trouble convincing your hair to behave. They are also a great way to change your look for a special occasion. Depending on how they are worn, they may look elegant or casual and can be put in your hair in less than one minute.

Something You Will Need

1. Brush and/or comb

2. Elastic band

3. Hair gel, spray, or mousse

4. Ponytail hair extension

5. Hairpins and/or decorative hair accessories

Select a ponytail extension in the length you prefer, making sure that the color and texture closely match your own hair.

Comb or brush your hair such as Brazilian loose wave virgin hair extensions thoroughly. Gather your hair together with an elastic band. If your hair is mid-length or longer, tuck the ends of your hair into the elastic band, forming either a small loop or a bun.

Use gel or spray to control wispy "flyaways" or shorter hair around your face or nape that may escape the elastic.

Remove the ponytail extension from its packaging and locate the clips inside. Position the ponytail so that one clip or comb attachment is above, and the other is beneath, the elastic that holds your own hair in place.

Gently push the comb attachments into place behind the elastic band that holds your hair like Brazilian natural wave hair. If a drawstring is attached, pull the drawstring until the ponytail extension cinches snugly against your head. Slide the small plastic "grip" on the drawstring down toward your head and tuck the string inside the base of the ponytail where it won't be seen.
