How it is done

  1. 10:29Start with freshly washed hair that is completely free of product, since clean hair gives the smoothest stretched result.
  2. 22:22Apply a heat protectant, then blow-dry the whole head with a concentrator nozzle until the hair is fully stretched.
  3. 33:43Smooth a light layer of serum from roots to tips, then flat iron at a moderate heat (about 340°F) with one or two passes so the hair lies flat.
  4. 45:24Spray a freeze spray around the hairline and brush all the hair up into one high ponytail. Leave out two thin face-framing pieces if wanted.
  5. 56:22Spray more freeze spray over the brushed area to hold flyaways, then blow-dry it so the hair sets flat.
  6. 67:19Attach a wrap-around ponytail extension using its built-in combs, tucking your own ponytail inside so it blends.
  7. 77:51Wrap the ponytail's strip around the base, spray it with freeze spray and blow-dry it so it stays without bobby pins.
  8. 88:56Adjust and move the ponytail around until it fully covers your own hair at the base.
