Step by step: how to attach the ponytail
- Insert the ponytail's comb firmly under your own hair tie.
- Pull the base tightly around your ponytail and fasten the Velcro completely.
- Wrap the attached strand of hair around the base to conceal the Velcro.
- Secure the wrapped strand with 1 to 2 bobby pins, crossing them for extra grip.
- Brush the ponytail lightly and blend the base with a tail comb.
- Tip for fine hair: first make a mini bun around the hair tie for extra hold.
Are you going for an extra-long look, such as the The Hollywood Ponytail? Fasten the Velcro extra tightly and add one extra bobby pin underneath for maximum stability. Using a wavy style, such as the The Glam Soft Wave Ponytail? Wrap the finishing strand a little more loosely so the wave falls beautifully and the clip remains invisible.
Removal and care
Remove the bobby pins, unwrap the strand of hair, open the Velcro, and carefully lift the comb out of your hair tie. Brush after use and store flat or on a hanger. Remy human hair can be styled with heat at a low to medium-low temperature using heat protection; the synthetic Glam Ponytail should only be styled with low heat or no heat. Do not sleep or swim with your ponytail in.
Frequently asked questions
Can you make a ponytail with clip-in extensions?
Yes. You can create extra volume with separate clip-ins and then make a ponytail, but for the most natural, quick, and secure look, choose a clip-in ponytail extension.
How long does a clip-in ponytail stay securely in place?
All day, provided it is applied correctly. For sports or windy conditions: fasten the Velcro extra tightly, use 1 extra bobby pin, and secure with hairspray. This gives your clip-in ponytail maximum grip.
