At this point you need to determine if you want to wear the Ponytail look, the long and straight look or the wavy look. The following are instructions for the Wavy and then the Ponytail look.
Wavy
Use setting rollers or braid your hair.
Wash your hair and put on style setting spray.
Set your hair up on Large Velcro rollers and dry hair or allow it to air dry.

Once hair is dry spray with holding spray.
Brush hair into a ponytail at the top of your head near the back of the crown.
Smooth the sides and edges of your hair with a sculpting gel.
Attach ponytail extension to your hair. Make sure the ponytail holder and hair all match your natural hair or it will stand out as a fake.
