So today, I'm gon na show you how I sold one of my biggest issues for the longest time, and that is how to do a super cute, really thick high ponytail, without showing your hair extensions without having bumps and having it be really comfortable to wear.

I basically use them, so it's been a long time thing for me, but I'm super excited for them to be sponsoring this video today. So, thank you to Lexi hair. So what are we waiting on? Let'S go ahead and jump right in on how to create the super cute high ponytail. Look, okay, so for today's tutorial you're going to need several items to complete this look. You'Re gon na want to use some kind of brush or comb to make sure you get all of your tangles out in your hair. Before you start putting up your hair into that, high pony, obviously you're gon na need some type of hair tie or elastic to create the ponytail with and any kind of additional bobby pins that you might need. If you have like short layers or something. If you need to keep it all, slicked back, obviously going to need your lucky hair extensions or whatever hair extensions that you're using today, I'm actually going to be using two different sets. This is my favorite combination to wear with my hair. I actually have the seamless blonde balayage hair extensions by Lexi, and I also have the dirty blonde luxy hair extensions that are just the original. This is the 220 grams set, and I like to combine these two, because I love the thickness that this gives me. But I love the super bleach blonde highlights that this one gives me for a little bit of pop. This is completely optional. I just find that this is the combination that matches my hair style best, I'm obviously not going to use both full sets. I'M going to be using pieces from each just to kind of get a good color blend mix and then, lastly, if you plan on curling, your ponytail you're gon na want to have some kind of curler or wand. If you want to straighten your ponytail, obviously have a straightener. I find that it's easiest to do this when you have your ponytail up, that's why my hair is natural right now and you're. Also gon na need some kind of clip to hold back your hair and pin it up while you're pinning your extensions into place. So, to begin, we're just gon na go through our entire head of hair and just brush out all the tangles that we have and get it nice and smooth. Okay. So before we jump right in on how to put these into your hair to create an awesome high Pony look, I just wanted to mention that I feel like a lot of people. The reason they struggle with putting their hair up into high ponytails when they have extensions in is because they struggle to put their clips in the proper direction. Obviously, whenever you have any type of hairstyle, where you're wearing it down, you are gon na clip it in a traditional way where you basically are sectioning off your hair, clipping them down, laying your hair straight over it. But when you decide that you want to take it up a notch to start doing some more sophisticated hairstyles, you kind of have to plan ahead on where you want to clip in for your hair extensions. For example, whenever I like to do like a half up, half down I'll clip like one or two up here in the back and comb, my hair over it, so I have some length in my half apart and then I will clip the rest underneath so they're. All kind of going different ways, but you just have to plan what direction you want. Your hair extensions going in before you start styling your hair before you start doing anything so with the ponytail a lot of times I'll see, girls try to clip in their hair extensions at the top of their head, which sometimes you can get away with. I'Ve tried it before, but personally I feel like it's a little bit uncomfortable. It makes your head look little bit. Poofy, what's awesome about wearing a really high thick ponytail. Is that your entire underneath side of your head he's basically covered by this big ponytail, and not only that, but you have all this hair going. You have the majority of your hairs going in this upward direction. If you think about your ponytail being placed like right here in your head, you have all this space right here. All this hair to pull your hair up and for most people, the thick bigger part of their head, is in the back. A lot of people have really thin scalp lines. So, if you're trying to clip your hair extensions in the front and pull some hair over it, most likely you're gon na be able to see the hair extensions. The biggest thing, though, is not only clipping in the back, but actually clipping your hair extensions so that they are actually going forward. This isn't the most glamorous way to put hair extensions in I'm, probably gon na be upside down, or at least have my head tilted for the majority of this video just because this is really what happens so to begin. You want to start at the base. Nape of your neck, but the important part is you want to make sure you have enough hair. Then, when you pull this hair up, it's gon na cover it. You don't want to start off with like a little bit of hair because, like I said before, you're not gon na you need to have enough hair. That'S gon na be able to cover your actual extension. I feel like the best way to optimize your head. Space is by placing two two clips at the nape of your neck to four clip webs in the middle of your head and then two three clip weft, I'm just gon na tape. My ear is, and then we're grabbing our West. So I'm doing my original Lexi's. First and obviously I'm assuming looks as you are going to have two sets of, and then the one thing you don't want to do like that, and then my hair's gon na get really funky looking you are gon na bring it up here right next up we're Going in with the four-piece ignore the hair we're doing this alone, you probably keep your head down the entire time. It just makes it a lot easier to grab my hair all right. They say so and then take a brush and start combing it out, smoothing it out and placing it where you want it to be I'll, probably end up placing my ponytail right about here. You want to place it pretty close to where you place your last extension, but it should be good from there all right, so you want to have your elastic in hand and then a brush by your side. I do have a couple bumps just where my hair is laying awkwardly. So that's where the perfection of this hairstyle comes in. It might be easier if you have like a little comb instead of a brush all right once you have this right, where you want it, you want to go ahead and put your ponytail holder in my hair. This is a super thick ponytail. I probably could have gotten away with only doing two twos and two fours. The 3 out of a lot of volume. Sep might be only able to get this around twice, but we'll try three, oh yeah! This is definitely a time around kind of elastic. Alright. So then, once you have that you might want to pull any pieces that you want forward to kind of give yourself a little coupe, and already I love how this is like giving it a little pouf. It just has natural volume. So once you have your hair here, you have a couple options. Honestly, I really love the way. This looks it's like a natural little curl. I actually had my Luckies already curled prior, they kind of fell out. So just like a nice little beachy wave, you could straighten it, make it look really sleek and cool, or you could curl it which I'm gon na curl it for you guys today, just to show you how I would go about curling it and why it's important To curl it after it's up in the ponytail and not prior, so the best thing for me about curling ponytails is that you have less hair to curl. You don't have to worry about this area of your head. You can do bigger sections um. I don't want a super tight, curled prony tail, I'm just gon na be kind of taking thick chunky sections, wrapping them around with the wand and kind of let it in the fall. And lastly, what I'm gon na do is just take a piece of hair from the bottom side of my ponytail and I'm just gon na give it a quick wrap around the base of the ponytail holder and it's like magic.
