How to Put Extensions in a Ponytail?

Step 1: Brush your hair
Before we get into the styling part, brush your hair gently to remove all tangles.

Gather your hair at the desired height on your head. Use your hands or a brush to smooth out any tangles or knots. Take a cloth hair tie or a small scrunchie and carefully wrap the hair tie around the gathered hair. Make sure to keep a hold on your hair as you do this. Secure the hair tie by looping it around your hair two to three times depending on its thickness. This will ensure that the ponytail stays in place.
Step 3: Attach the extension
Now take the extension and attach it to your natural ponytail using the clips, combs, or elastic band that come with it. Make sure that the extension is attached securely to your hair. After attaching, move your ponytail a little to check if it is secured and tight.
Step 4: Blend the extension with your natural hair
