1. How To Put Extensions In A Ponytail

The short answer is yes, you can wear a ponytail with hair extensions - but there’s a few adjustments that you need to make. Let’s see together how to put clip-in hair extensions into a ponytail without making it undeniably evident.

• Start by brushing your hair. Whether you’re going for a sleek ponytail or a puffy, messy, and chic one, it’s always best to work with untangled hair.
• Focus on sectioning, as you would do with a half-up, half-down hairstyle.
• Concentrate your hair extensions in a section of hair. To gain height, you can create a mini-ponytail as base for your hair extensions to hold onto.
• Put that section up in a ponytail
• Cover the attachments with the rest of your hair
• Secure your ponytail with a scrunchie or hairband of your choice.

2. What Are The Best Hair Extensions For A Ponytail?

There are other options for you to create a ponytail with hair extensions and help blend your natural hair in with the added hair pieces.

For example, did you know you can braid your ponytail and add single hair pieces to it to create more volume?

If you’d like to spare yourself the hassle of applying single hair extension hair pieces to your mane, opt for a wrap-around clip-in ponytail and marvel at how this simple hair accessory will be a game changer for your style.

So, in short, you can:

• Add single hair extensions hair pieces for more volume
• Use a clip-in ponytail hair extension to gain fullness and length

3. Tips & Tricks To Achieve A Killer Ponytail

How do you make your ponytail stand out? There’s no simple answer, but there are a few simple solutions you can resort to to step-up your ponytail game, depending on the occasion.

• Texturize your ponytail: tousled hair is all the rage, and why shouldn’t this apply to a fierce ponytail? Using a texturizing spray, mousse or cream can help give your ponytail that extra kick that you were looking for. For more details, check out our style guide: how to get tousled hair!
• Curl your ponytail: a soft, bouncy, and curly ponytail is the perfect, romantic look - either for a date or for a ceremony such as a wedding. Either way, this versatile aesthetic can be used for many occasions, and will always, always hit the right spot. You can curl a real hair extensions ponytail with the aid of a hair straightener. Check out our guide on how to curl hair extensions and how to curl with a hair straightener.
• Puff your ponytail: a Y2K must, the puff ponytail is coming back. This look is all about looking big and fluffy, creating volume on top of your head in the fashion of a modern-day beehive.
