How to use Ponytail Extensions

What are Ponytail Extensions?

Ponytail extensions, like Fabulive clip-ins, are meticulously fashioned to promptly enhance both the thickness and length of a conventional ponytail. They bid adieu to lackluster, flat ponytails, ushering in buoyant, full-bodied styles that effortlessly adapt to high, low, braided, or bun configurations. No longer relegated to concealing unkempt tresses, ponytails undergo a remarkable transformation. Additionally, for those desiring a textured appearance, we provide curly ponytail extensions.


Benefits of Ponytail Extensions:

  1. REVITALIZE HAIR ON SUBSEQUENT DAYS WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR ABODE

For those inevitable occasions when hair washing becomes a distant memory, Fabulive clip-in ponytail extensions offer a seamless remedy. Effortlessly elevate lackluster or oily locks into flawless ponytail elegance. Now, you can seamlessly transition from a home workout to a virtual wine night with friends or confidently accept an unexpected FaceTime call from that special someone.

  1. BESTOW LENGTHIER, PLUMPER, MORE VIBRANT PONYTAILS INSTANTLY

If lackluster ponytails fail to exude the exuberance of an Elle Woods signature style due to thinness, shortness, dryness, or fragility, ponytail extensions provide an instantaneous solution for achieving longer, thicker ponytails.

  1. UNLOCK A VAST ARRAY OF HAIRSTYLING POSSIBILITIES

Ever attempted a braided ponytail only to contend with unruly layers? Or endeavored to fashion a bun only to be met with lackluster results? With Fabulive clip-in ponytail extensions, the realm of hairstyling possibilities expands exponentially. From braided ponytails to high ponytails, low ponytails, and voluminous buns, every style becomes effortlessly achievable.


How to Do a Ponytail with Extensions:

Here's a guide on how to create a ponytail with extensions:

TIP: If planning to heat style your Ponytail Extension, it's advisable to do so before attaching it to your hair.


STEP 1: GATHER YOUR HAIR INTO A PONYTAIL

Start by brushing your natural hair upwards into a high ponytail positioned at the crown of your head. Ensure the ponytail sits slightly higher than your desired placement and secure it in place with a hair tie.

STEP 2: PREPARE YOUR PONYTAIL EXTENSION

Carefully brush through the Ponytail Extension using a Loop Hair Extensions Brush, wide-toothed comb, or paddle brush to eliminate any knots or tangles.

STEP 3: ATTACH YOUR PONYTAIL EXTENSION

Insert the comb beneath the hair tie securing your natural ponytail at its top. Wrap the velcro base of the extension around your own ponytail until it snugly overlaps and feels secure.

STEP 4: CONCEAL THE BASE OF YOUR PONYTAIL

Wrap a section of hair around the base of the Ponytail Extension to hide the hair tie. Utilize bobby pins to firmly secure the wrapped hair in place.

STEP 5: FINAL TOUCHES AND STYLING

Gently shake your head to confirm the Ponytail Extension feels secure. Whether opting for a sleek, straight look or a more tousled, textured style, embrace your Fabulive Ponytail with confidence and flair.


What Hairstyles go Well with Ponytail Extensions?

LOW PONYTAIL:

Achieving a low ponytail with extensions is effortless. Begin by securing your hair at the nape of your neck, then proceed to wrap the Fabulive Ponytail Extension around your gathered hair. Follow the remaining steps as usual to enjoy your extended, ultra-long ponytail.

BUN:

Crafting a voluminous bun is now a breeze. Begin by attaching your ponytail extension as usual at the crown of your head. 

Then, divide the ponytail into two equal parts.

Twist each section until they form two elongated twists, then intertwine these twists to produce a thick rope braid.

Lastly, wrap the rope braid around its base to form the bun, securing it firmly in place with an abundance of bobby pins.


How To Use Ponytail Extensions?

Here's a comprehensive guide on using ponytail extensions:

CAN I HAVE THE EXTENSION CUT?

Absolutely! While Fabulive clip-in ponytails are standard at 20” length, you have the flexibility to customize them to your preferred length with the assistance of a professional hairstylist. As all Fabulive Hair extensions are crafted from 100% remy human hair, they can be trimmed akin to your natural hair.

CAN I WASH IT LIKE MY OWN HAIR?

It's recommended to wash the ponytail extension after approximately 30 wears, or when excessive product buildup renders them difficult to style. Opt for alcohol and sulfate-free hair products during washing, and indulge in a deep conditioning treatment for a few hours or overnight to replenish moisture. Refer to the comprehensive care guide for Fabulive extensions for further instructions.

CAN I STYLE THE PONYTAIL EXTENSION LIKE MY OWN HAIR?

Certainly! The ponytail extension, being crafted from remy human hair, allows for styling akin to your natural locks. However, exercise caution by limiting heat exposure to a maximum setting of 120°C/250°F and applying a heat protectant prior to styling.

HOW TO HIDE PONYTAIL EXTENSIONS

Fabulive ponytail extensions feature a velcro base for securing the extension around your natural ponytail, along with an integrated section of hair that wraps around the base for seamless concealment. Rest assured, your secret is safe with us.

HOW DO THEY SECURE?

Fabulive ponytail extensions are equipped with a small comb attachment that slides beneath your hair elastic to anchor the ponytail in place. Additionally, a velcro base snaps together to ensure a secure fit, while a long strand of hair is skillfully wrapped around the base and secured with matching bobby pins.

CAN THE PONYTAIL EXTENSIONS FALL OFF/COME UNDONE?

Not at all! With the provision of two matching bobby pins and a secure velcro base, the ponytail extension remains firmly in place, allowing you to flaunt your inner Ariana Grande with confidence.

WILL ANYONE BE ABLE TO TELL I AM WEARING A FAUX PONYTAIL?

Nope! Similar to all Fabulive Hair extensions, the final look appears natural, with the extensions seamlessly blending in. The longer hair strand attached to the ponytail, along with the extra bobby pins provided, facilitates discreet hiding of the extension's base.

HOW LONG WILL THE PONYTAIL BE ON ME?

To gauge the length of the Fabulive Hair ponytail extension, measure 20 inches downward from the crown of your head (or your desired tying point). This provides an indication of where the ponytail extension will fall on you, bearing in mind that the lower the ponytail, the longer it will appear.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO APPLY?

Similar to our other extensions, Fabulive Hair ponytail extensions require just a few minutes for application. With a bit of practice, you can achieve a longer, thicker ponytail in less than 5 minutes.

HOW LONG DOES MY HAIR NEED TO BE?

Your hair should be of sufficient length to form a bun or small ponytail (whether low, medium, or high). The key is to ensure there's a bun or existing ponytail for the Fabulive Hair Ponytail Extension to attach to.

ARE THERE ANY DIFFERENT CARE INSTRUCTIONS?

No, the care instructions remain consistent with those for our Clip-In and Halo hair extensions. Refer to our comprehensive blog post for all the tips on proper extension care. Generally, less frequent washing prolongs the lifespan of your extensions. Use your discretion on when to wash the Ponytail Extension; if styling becomes increasingly challenging due to product buildup, it's likely time for a wash.


How to Choose Your Ponytail Colour?

Selecting the ideal color for your ponytail extension is crucial for a seamless blend with your natural hair. We recommend aligning the Ponytail Extension shade with the mid-ends of your hair, where it will be most visible just above the start of the ponytail. For assistance in pinpointing your perfect match, refer to our color guide available here. Additionally, your Fabulive Hair Ponytail Extension includes a tester swatch, allowing you to preview and ensure a precise match before committing to the extension.

Feel free to explore color experimentation when donning ponytail extensions. Embrace the opportunity to infuse variety by experimenting with darker or lighter shades, or even incorporating highlights or balayage to elevate your ponytail style.


In conclusion, ponytail extensions offer a versatile and convenient way to enhance your hairstyle effortlessly. With Fabulive clip-in ponytail extensions, you can transform your look with ease, whether you're opting for a low ponytail, a voluminous bun, or any other style. Remember to choose a color that matches your natural hair and feel free to experiment with different shades for a bold new look. With proper care and styling, Fabulive ponytail extensions will become a seamless and natural-looking addition to your hair routine, allowing you to enjoy longer, thicker, and more glamorous ponytails in just minutes.
