HOW TO CREATE A PONYTAIL USING OUR BACK STAGE

Not every shade is available in every style, and if your colour is not currently in the Pony Piece range, the Backstage One Piece Clip-In is an excellent alternative. Better still, the Backstage is one of the most versatile pieces in the Hair Choice range. One clip-in, two completely different looks. That kind of flexibility makes it one of the best value purchases you can make.

Here is how to create a ponytail look using the Backstage One Piece Clip-In.

STEP ONE: Section your hair just above the ears and clip the top section away to give yourself a clean base to work from.

STEP TWO: Backcomb the root area lightly and twist to create grip. This keeps the clip-in secure without any slipping throughout the day.

STEP THREE: Clip in your Backstage Hairpiece along the twisted section. Press each clip firmly until you feel it snap into place.

STEP FOUR: Release your natural hair, brush everything through together and gather into a ponytail at your desired height. Secure with a bobble, then take a small section of hair from underneath the ponytail, wrap it around the base to hide the bobble, and pin in place.

The result is a full, seamless ponytail with noticeably more length and volume than your natural hair alone. Because the Backstage sits underneath your natural hair, the extension blends in completely and the ponytail looks like it is all growing from your own head.

Two looks from one piece

This is what makes the Backstage One Piece such good value. Worn down, it adds length and thickness to your natural style. Worn up as a ponytail using this method, it creates a completely different look with the same piece. You are effectively getting two styles from one purchase, which makes it one of the most practical extensions in the range.

Getting the ponytail height right

The height of the ponytail affects how the Backstage blends. For a mid-height or low ponytail, the extension sits entirely inside the gathered hair and blends naturally. For a very high ponytail, you may need to position the Backstage slightly higher on the head so the weft is fully inside the gathered section rather than peeking below it. A quick check in the mirror before you pin everything in place takes care of this easily.
