how to install a clip-in ponytail

Step #1: Prepare your natural hair

Prepare by brushing your natural hair to smoothen out any tangles. You can also straighten your hair if you want to achieve a sleeker look. 

Then, you’d want to create a ponytail with your natural hair and secure it using a hair band. Depending on your preference, you can do a low or a high ponytail.

Step #2: Link the ponytail hair extension

Using a mirror to see the back of your head, attach the combs of the hair extension ponytail to the top of the ponytail that you just created. Push them underneath your hair tie so they are near your roots.

Step #3: Wrap the ponytail around

Next, lift the wraparound velcro strap connected to the weft, and pull it under the ponytail.

Step #4: Secure the ponytail

Continue wrapping the strap around your hair while securing the velcro. Try to wrap it as tight as you can to make sure that it’s 100% secure and natural-looking. This will also hide the hairband. 

Step #5: Add the hair pins

Keep the extensions in place using bobby pins. You can add more pins the way you see fit to secure it better.

Step #6: Enjoy your complete look

You are finally ready to sport your new look! You can then add accessories and style your hair according to your preference.

How to style your ponytail extension?

Clip-in ponytails are all you need to transform a basic look. You can actually style them in many ways. Use them for any day or any occasion. Celebrities like Ariana Grande even wear ponytail extensions on a regular basis for that extra length and volume.

Now that you know how to install your clip-in ponytail, here are a few hairstyles you can achieve using Perfect Locks’ clip-in ponytail extensions:

Keep It Classic

The easiest and simplest way to rock Perfect Locks’ clip-in ponytails is to clip and go! Available in three different textures and lengths, you can instantly achieve any look from a casual dinner to a formal event. Perfect Locks’ ponytails are incredibly natural-looking. They come with a wraparound band so you can hide the velcro as well as class up your pony.

Braid It Up Babe

Looking for a more structured yet totally fierce style? Try braids! Keep it simple with a regular three-part braid, achieve a boho look with a fishtail braid, or wow everyone with a dual-texture braid. 

Kick your style up a notch with some accessories. Don’t be afraid to experiment with hair ties/scarves, shining thread, or hair rings. Say “bye-bye” to boring braids!

Sun’s Out Buns Out

Having a bad hair day? Nothing a bun can’t fix! Clip-in ponytails can easily be styled into a bun! Simply wrap the hair around the base of the ponytail. For a polished look, wrap the hair around the base to create a secure topknot.

For a little extra flare, braid your ponytail before wrapping them around for some added volume and dimension. If you want to create a slightly messier look, tug on the braid to loosen it up.

Fabulous High Ponytail

Want to achieve a celebrity-style high ponytail? No problem! Pull your natural hair up in a high ponytail using a regular hair band. And then tie a second hairband about one-inch apart from your first hair band to create more height. Complete your look by installing your clip-in extension the usual way to cover your hair tie. For a more fabulous look, you can heat and curl your long extensions for a fuller, bouncier style.

Sleek Low Ponytail

Do you have very short hair? You can still use clip-in ponytails to change up your look - try a classic, sleek, low ponytail. Part your hair in the middle and use hair spray on each side to flatten. Tie your natural hair into a low ponytail at the base of your head and attach your clip-ins to your hair.

Ponytail with Bang Extensions

You can choose pre-styled bangs that complement your real hair or you can let your stylist customize them according to your preferred look.
