We've all done it.
We wake up in the morning, dress for work and suddenly realise that the cute navy skirt suit we're wearing would really go better with a long flowing, perfect ponytail extension. Then comes the dilemma -- we don't have one!
What's a girl to do then? Certainly not wing it, like I saw a lady do just yesterday in a taxi.
She had black hair and thought it clever to bobby pin in wefts of scarlet coloured weave hairpieces on top of her her own short ponytail.
The result was disastrous! Weave wefts were showing everywhere.
Look, if you are going to do a ponytail without the store-bought clip-in or draw string ponytails then at least make it look sleek, professional and seamless.
I usually stack up my used hair weave pieces one on top the other (never throw away your used weaves, you never know when you may need to use them again), brush them out, and then roll the hair from one end of the weft to the other. It ends up looking like a coil on top and as easy as that you now have your home-made ponytail.
To put the ponytail in, brush your own hair and hold it in a pony. Don't use your scrungie yet, just your hand to secure the hair in place. In the space where your hand is circled around your ponytail, push in the coil. Your hair will then cover this completely, then you can secure the hair and homemade ponytail with your scrungie.
Make sure that your hair matches the weave piece you use. In other words, if your hair is black don't use scarlet!
The result is seamless with your hair blending into your extension. Money saved and the look still fierce.
Later today I am going to meet with a local representative of the Racquel Welch hair and Hair do extensions. I will get the chance to explore the range of synthetic, human hair, ponytails, clip ons. It will be my experience with the product, although I have heard about it before. Am I excited? Hell yeah. I barely made it through the weekend thinking about all that hair.
Will tell you all about it tomorrow.
