HOW TO MAKE A BUN USING YOUR PONY PIECE
A voluminous bun is one of the most versatile styles you can wear, but if your natural hair is fine, short or lacks length, pulling off a full bun can feel impossible. The Hair Choice Power Pony Piece changes that. In five simple steps you can go from flat ponytail to a full, statement bun with serious impact.
Here is how to create a bun using the Power Pony Piece.
STEP ONE: Put your natural hair into a ponytail at your desired height. High for a sleek, dramatic look, or lower for something more relaxed and elegant.
STEP TWO: Twist your ponytail into a tight bun and secure it with a silk scrunchie. A silk scrunchie reduces breakage and keeps fine hair smooth, which matters when the extension sits on top.
STEP THREE: Slightly tighten the Pony Piece using the built-in string and toggle to create a small amount of grip before placing it.
STEP FOUR: Place the clips of the Pony Piece around your bun and secure firmly with the string and toggle. The wrap-around design means no visible clips from the front or sides.
STEP FIVE: Twist the Pony Piece itself into a bun around your natural bun and pin to secure. Use a few grips or bobby pins to lock it in place and blend the two together seamlessly.
The result is a full, glossy bun that looks like your own hair grown to twice its volume. The Pony Piece adds both size and shine, and because it wraps around your natural bun rather than sitting on top, the finish is completely natural from every angle.
Why the Power Pony Piece works for buns
Most clip-in extensions are designed to hang down, which makes them tricky to use for up-dos. The Power Pony Piece is different. Its wrap-around structure and toggle fastening are specifically designed to grip around a bun or ponytail base, giving you a secure hold that lasts all day without pins showing or the piece slipping out of position.
Getting the most from your bun style
For the most seamless result, make sure the base of your natural bun is as smooth and tight as possible before attaching the Pony Piece. Any lumps or loose sections will show through once the extension is in place. A light spritz of hairspray on the base before twisting helps everything stay flat and gives the clips something to grip.
If you want extra hold on the finished bun, a few clear hair pins placed discreetly around the edge will keep it in place through a full day or a night out.
Which shade should you choose?
The Power Pony Piece is available across the full Hair Choice colour range, from deep blacks and rich brunettes through to blondes and rooted shades. For the most natural-looking bun, match the extension to the mid-lengths and ends of your natural hair rather than the roots. Not sure which shade is right for you?
