Ponytail Hair Extensions – The How

Lastly, let’s look at how to wear ponytail hair extensions. Correctly applying the extension will create the best results and will ensure that it will stay in place throughout the day and night. If you’re new to hair extensions, you may even want to get a stylist to help you for the first time, or apply it for you for a special occasion so that you can make sure that your ponytail looks perfect.

How to wear a ponytail hair extension

If you are planning to curl or straighten the extension, do so before you attach it. Then, here are the steps that you can follow to achieve the best result:

1. Put your natural hair into a ponytail. Using a brush and a hair tie, place your hair into a high ponytail, positioned close to the crown of your head. You will need the ponytail to be placed slightly higher than you want to wear it. Secure your ponytail in place with a hair tie before moving onto the next step.
2. Brush the extension. Before applying the ponytail extension, brush it gently using a wide-tooth comb or paddle brush. In order to be easy to style and manage, the hair needs to be completely tangle-free.
3. Place the ponytail extension. Start by placing the clip of the extension underneath your hair tie at the top of the ponytail. Next, slowly start wrapping the extension around your ponytail with the velcro, until it overlaps and is secure.
4. Conceal the band. For a natural, sleek, and discreet look, use the tail piece of the ponytail around the base of the ponytail to conceal the band and add a bobby pin to secure it in place. This will blend the extension with your natural hair, creating a seamless transition from your original hair at the roots to the extended hair at the ends. As a bonus, this technique of using a strand of hair to cover the hair band makes for a sophisticated and creative hairstyle.
5. Make sure it’s securely placed. Lastly, move your head around to make sure that your ponytail is secure. If correctly applied, your ponytail should feel comfortable and stable with movement. You can now leave it as is and enjoy your luxurious ponytail, or transform it into a gorgeous braid or bun.
