Ponytail Help!???

I've done this.

It takes a lot of patience and bobby pins.

I wouldn't use it as a daily solution but for a special occaision it works great and the hair is reusable for other pruposes.

Hi

I have made clip on pony tails they are easy if you want to know how let me know.

yeah I agree charlene.Its not something I would do everyday.It can be tedious with the pinning.

I did a pony tail thing, and wore it for several months, almost everyday!!  This is what I did.  I toke a black piece of elastic (have meduim red/brown hair) and took a weft and folded it over. I then sewed it on my sewing machine using the zigzag stitch, to the piece of elastic. I then sewed both ends together so that it was approx. the same size (diameter) as my natural ponytail is.  I then would put my head hair into a ponytail, slip my extension tail over, grab my head hair tail, and a few strands of extension hair til and put another rubber band on that so it sat inside the extension hair tail.  This was to ensure that it would not fall off, or be pulled off.  I then took a wider ponytail holder (a knit scrunchy, but not the 80's version) and put that onto the extension pony to cover the track. 

Like I said, I wore this for several months without it ever falling off.  I did everything in it, working-out mainly, but I even slept in it a few times.

You made clip ins??  How did you do it?  That sounds like what I tried to do once but I never got it right?  So you add them to your existing pony?

See what I was trying to do was make clip in hi lites but it wasn't working.  I can't find them online to buy and it would probably be very expensive anyway so I tried to make them. Didn't work. 

If you are willing to wrap some hair(or a scarf or whatever) around the base of the ponytail you can do super easy ponyfalls with just bulk hair and rubber bands.

What gs suggested works really well.  in between is usuing stretch lace instead of a rubber band/ponytail holder as a base.

the most primitive version is to pull all the hair through the ponytail holder.  fold the hair in half.  Now put another rubber band arond the hair to hold the folded halfs together.  you basically have a ponytail.  Check out rubberbunny's, okay crap she's gone out of business.  And I can't explain with just words how to attach this thing.  Maybe its still over on the Quinnster hairboard.  I don't what I'm going to do without that as a reference for people...

next up.  tie a slip knot of a small section of hair around either a big ponytail rubber band or stretch lace.  use a little heat or glue to hold it in place.  repeat til you have enough hair to go around your natural bun/ponytail.  on lace you just tie it in.  you have to be a little more coordinated with a ponytail holder like this.

the wefts sewn to elastic is similar.

I haven't ever put them on claws...

Ive done it too, its a good temp solution.

For highlights just cut one inch peices of weft and sew to a clip.Like these.These are the ones from kristin:haircandy.net.I use these and they have worked really well.

This should help!
