How to: Ponytail with Tape Hair Extensions

One of the main questions we get asked at ZALA is how to wear a ponytail with tape hair extensions. We know, the struggle hiding tape tabs is too real. So, let’s get into everything you need to know when styling your locks in a ponytail!

APPLICATION

Before we get to styling, it’s important to consider the position the tapes are applied in your hair. If you’re big on up-dos or ponytails are your go to style, let your hairdresser know! This will ensure your extensions are applied in a technique best suited for up do’s and makes all the difference when styling your locks.

PLACEMENT

Our top tip on achieving a seamless ponytail with tape in extensions all comes down to placement! To ensure the tapes are undetectable, you’re going to want to opt for a medium to low ponytail. This is so that the tape tabs lay flat against your head and are completely undetectable.

STYLING

How stunning is this?! Created with a combination of ZALA 20 inch Snickers #4/12 and Chestnut Brown #6 tape extensions.

When styling your pony, the aim of the game is to get those tape tabs as flat against the head as possible. Our favourite way to style a pony with tape hair extensions is in this super pretty twisted look. It’s so stunning and really easy to achieve, too!

Simply secure your locks into a low or medium ponytail, leaving two sections out from either front side of your hair. Take one section and wrap around the base of your ponytail, bobby pin in place and repeat on the other side. These pieces not only conceal your hair elastic, but also easily hide any tapes that are showing! If so, use your fingers to carefully pull and manoeuvre the hair to cover the tape tabs. And you’re done! A completely seamless ponytail with tape hair extensions!

Summer Hair Care

When the heat is high and you’re pretty much living at the beach or pool during summer, it’s important to look after your locks correctly! Fight the frizz and keep your tresses healthy with our top summer hair care tips.

SUMMER HAIR CARE

PROTECT YOUR TRESSES

As much as we love the sun, UV rays are not only super damaging on your skin but also your hair when left unprotected. So, it’s important to opt for hair care that contain UV protectant properties! Otherwise, if you can’t get your hands on products as such, a wide brimmed hat will do the trick. These will help keep your locks looking and feeling healthy all summer long.

KEEP IT FRESH

One of the main causes of dry, damaged feeling hair is all that salt water or chlorine! Especially when combined with the harsh summer sun. So, to keep your tresses silky smooth, always make sure to rinse your hair with fresh water after swimming. This tip is also super important for you gals who wear tape hair extensions to prolong their lifespan during summer.

UP THE MOISTURE

Our top summer hair care tip is to up the moisture! The best product to keep on hand during summer is a good leave in conditioner. You can even make your own by diluting your fave conditioner with a little bit of water in a spray bottle. Keep this in your beach bag and spritz a generous amount through your hair after rinsing with fresh water. This will keep your hair feeling super silky and help to reduce frizz when letting your locks air dry. We also love hair including hair oils and smoothing serums during summer for extra healthy hair.

REDUCE THE HEAT

Summer is the ideal time to give your locks a break from all that heat styling! Keep it cool and put down the blow dryer and flat iron! To keep the frizz at bay and reduce the heat, try styling your hair in cute heatless hairstyles when wet. Once dry, you’ll be left with natural, beachy looking waves without the damage! Our fave heatless hairstyles during summer are loose, fishtail braids.
