How to Put On Clip-In Ponytail Extensions

Milk & Blush ponytail extensions are the perfect accessory for every occasion – whether you’re getting ready for bottomless brunch or you need a chic hairstyle to hide that fourth day hair.

But ponytail extensions attach slightly differently from traditional clip-ins. So, to help you perfect your look every time, our hair extension experts have put together a step-by-step guide to attaching clip-in ponytail hair extensions...

Step One: Straighten and Smooth Your Hair

To prep your natural hair, brush, straighten and detangle your tresses – before securing it into a sleek ponytail. This normally works best with oilier hair, but you can always apply a little gel to achieve the same smooth finish. 

Perfect your pony by running a backcombing brush through to iron out any bumps or flyaways. And for some extra volume and holding power, tease the base of your ponytail by gently backcombing your tresses.

Step Two: Apply the Ponytail

Once your natural hair is ready, face the weft of your extension away from you and pop open the clips. 

Guide the fastenings carefully into the top of your hair tie before snapping them closed to lock in your look.

Step Three: Secure the Ponytail

The next step is to take the strand of hair with the velcro fastening, and spritz a touch of hairspray over it to tame any flyaways and add some extra holding power. 

Wrap this strand around the base of your ponytail and fasten over the weft to secure your extension even further. Then, slide some bobby pins in and around the clips to enjoy luxe lengths for longer.

Step Four: Smooth and Straighten the Extensions

Once the ponytail is secure in place, use your straighteners to smooth the hair from the root.

Flick the hair outwards at the tips to create volume and texture and a glamorous touch to your pony.

Step Five: Finish the Look

All that’s left now is to brush through your hair to blend your extension seamlessly into your natural tresses – and you’re done.

Or for some extra flair, you can then apply heat of up to 185 celsius (365 fahrenheit) to wave, curl and straighten your do. Finish with a spritz of hairspray to keep you looking polished for hours.
