Step-by-Step

• On dry hair, apply Big SexyHair Root Pump Volumizing Spray Mousse at the root area and blow dry hair back.
• Starting in the back profile at the nape using Style SexyHair Protect Me 450° Hot Tool Protection Spray, create flat iron curls working within vertical subsections. Hair is curled at midshaft leaving ends out.
• Continue working up the head shape repeating movements and curling everything towards the center back. Once curls have set, apply Healthy SexyHair Smooth & Seal Anti-Frizz & Shine Spray and brush out curls with paddle brush.
• Starting at the nape, attach clip-in extensions in the back profile working up the head shape placing extensions upside down for a fuller pony.
• Using an elastic with two bobby pins and Big SexyHair Get Layered Flash Dry Thickening Hairspray, gather hair right above crown to maximize volume and secure into place. For a softer look, leave hair out around the front hairline.
• Using Big SexyHair Get Layered, wrap a section of hair around the elastic to hide.
• Starting on the underside of the ponytail, use Big SexyHair Powder Play Volumizing & Texturizing Powder to tease at root area for additional volume and support.
• Finish with Big SexyHair Spray & Play Volumizing Hairspray for hold.
