Hi, Sharon Danley with Two Minute Tips for Healthy Beauty & Confident Aging.
This week it's the side pony with my straight
hair with a slight bend to it and a
triple layered extension with dark light and dark
So first I'm going to part my hair as I
usually do from the temple to the temple
and around to the back and then I'm
going to clip it out of the way next I'm
going to make another part from the
center of the crown on a diagonal
towards the right hand side because I'm
going to wear the pony to the left hand
side so now I'm going to clip that
extension in right along that part line
and what I love about putting an
extension in sideways like this is it
layers the ends when it hangs down so
next I'm going to take the hair as I
usually do on my crown and backcomb it
with my brush and just going to do it as
I usually do taking sections and I
mostly do it at the root you know
anywhere from three to six strokes and
then when I come down towards the sides
I go right up to the end because the
sides are going to be filled in a little
bit more so I need a little bit more
moldability which is the other thing
that backcombing does is it allows you
to all the hair into the shape that you
want
okay now I'm going to check the back as
I usually do and you see how long that
extension is it just adds the extra
length that I need but I don't need it
all throughout the rest of my hair just
in the center back works just fine so
now I'm gonna smooth down the hair over
top and for the sides because my hair is
very thin I'm going to add an extension
on each side just short I don't need it
any longer then you know what it is
showing there so I just clip it in place
and put my own hair over top and it's
close to my own hair color so it matches
beautifully and I also put these in on
an angle as well get together
and then I start by grabbing it all and
I'm going to start doing a twist and I'm
going to turn the hair and twist it over
at the top to grab more hair at the
bottom twist it up and over the top grab
more hair on the bottom twist it up and
over the top now I'm coming into those
long pieces twist it and grab it and
lift it over the top and it's a little
bit challenging separating the hair but
not too bad now I just simply turn
around to the front
I could clip that back piece in place
but I'm used to working with it and then
I just do the same thing in the front
pull the two pieces together and then I
simply use a ba clip now you there's any
number of Clips you can use but I like
the size of these you could also use you
know an elastic of some kind and then
you put your you know bow or whatever it
is you're going to use in afterwards
shoot but you just want to make sure
it's secure enough and then I'm going to
use my barber comb to lift the hair
where I need it lifted hold it and then
spray it and hold it for a second I find
it that's an easy way to lift the hair
and have it stay there rather than lift
it falls back down and spray it so
that's a good little trick so now
there's a number of things you can do
with this pony you can either leave it
or you can separate it and continue to
work with the rope that it's that's what
it's called as a rope and you can rope
it all the way down if that's what you
want to do so that it just continues
right on down or you can take it apart
and maybe put in a well what a braid try
that and see how that looks
and in the process
my own hair is a little bit shorter of
course than the extension but because
all that hair is layered it doesn't show
up very much and it all just kind of
blends in really nicely so here I am
doing a braid you can take that braid
and you can put it up over top make a
chignon out of it any number of things
but I'm just going to leave it as is
coating the hair through and make sure
and then I'm going to take a pic and
just backcomb the end of it a little bit
and back home my own hair into the
extension so it just blends a little bit
better
looks just slightly messy which is
perfect so nice long Pony for a nice
change of pace and here we have the back
in that rope shape, join together at the
side fairly easy, and then you just pull
and shmoosh as you usually do fix it the
way you want - and there you are.
Thicker and longer and oh so chic.
See you next time !
