It’s time to rock your dream pony! Get ready to instantly transform your look.
Check out the video below or scroll down for step by steps.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Your drawstring ponytail
- A smoothing brush
- Gel or other firm-hold styler
- Hair elastics or bungees
- Bobbypins
Note: Before you begin you should wash and set your ponytail (check out this guide to learn how). Your extension piece must be dry before you begin!
Step 1: Secure your natural hair

The first thing you want to do is smooth your hair back and into a bun. For an even finish we recommend using a smoothing brush with soft bristles. To avoid flyaways use a gel or other styling product to give your curls a firm hold.
Keep in mind where you position your hair is where the ponytail piece will sit. Use an elastic band or bungee tie to secure your hair into a ponytail. Wrap the hair around the base of the ponytail to make a bun. Secure in place with bobby pins, or another elastic if necessary.
Step 2: Place the Ponytail

Place the drawstring ponytail over your bun, securing it in place with the attached comb. Then pull the drawstrings on the ponytail until you have a tight fit over your bun. The drawstring ponytail should completely cover your bun.
Step 3: Secure the drawstrings.

Wrap the drawstrings around the base of the ponytail and secure in place with bobby pins. To hide the strings even more, take a curl from the ponytail and wrap it around the base of the drawstring pony, securing in place with a bobby pin. Then freely rock your pony (and don’t be afraid to put some swing in your step - that pony is safe, secure, and not going anywhere).
