How to make a ponytail with hair extensions ?

The ponytail refers to what the French know as a "queue-de-cheval". It is a hairstyle in which the hair is grouped together, held tightly at the base of the scalp and left loose. The hair can be held together with an elastic band, a catogan or a barrette, but it doesn't matter, because the important thing is to get the hair as close to the head as possible.

This hairstyle is first and foremost practical before being aesthetic. It is the easiest way to style long, straight hair and to keep the face clear. People who are active in sports even find a certain pleasure in not being bothered by their hair, while at the same time "enjoying" their presence. The swinging of a ponytail is even said to be pleasant and almost reassuring, according to our customers.

But what if you are not lucky enough to have the right hair for a ponytail? Resign yourself to contemplating the hairstyles of girlfriends or stars who have adopted the ponytail? Not at all, because there are solutions and we're going to explain to you how you too can take advantage of the "too cool" effect of a ponytail...

Ponytail and hair extensions

It is possible to make a ponytail from natural hair extensions. Depending on the model you choose, you can even install your hair extensions on your own, although it is better to call on your usual hairdresser.

Hair extensions for a night out

If you've decided to treat yourself to an evening or weekend getaway, choose loops or clip-in hair extensions. They are easy to install and the hold is reliable enough to enjoy your ponytail without worrying about its fit. You can get a friend to help you install your hair extensions on the back of your head, it's always more convenient than if you're alone. 

The advice we can give you is to take the time to choose the natural hair extension that will perfectly match your original hair. Some of our clients prefer to play the card of difference, opting for additions of different colour and thickness of their hair. Since it's all a question of taste, it's up to you to choose between invisible or noticeable extensions...

Hair extensions for several days

Hair extensions that are attached with a keratin-based glue are intended to be worn longer than clip-in or micro loops hair extensions. So if you want to enjoy your ponytail for several weeks, then choose this type of extensions and let your regular hairdresser do the installation.

A ponytail ready to use !

The most practical solution is surely the ready-to-wear ponytail... This "ponytail" extension is easily applied thanks to a pin and an integrated velcro strip. You don't need any utensils to install it, just a few minutes in front of your mirror to enjoy its effect. A ponytail extension is guaranteed to stay in place without any problems, so you can sleep without taking it off, although it's best to take advantage of its ease of installation to remove it before going to bed.
