How to make a drawstring ponytail look natural

Use your natural texture- the most important thing to creating that perfect drawstring ponytail is to know the true texture of your hair. Use a ponytail that is already very similar to your natural hair texture. This will save you the effort of manipulating your own hair to blend with the extensions. Having the right texture in your extensions will also help to eliminate lines of demarcation and prevent other people from noticing where your real hair ends and the extension begins.  Secure your bun– To begin with your drawstring ponytail, you need to make sure that your natural hair is in a tight bun before adding your extensions. Your hair needs to be in a small tight bun to create the dazzling drawstring ponytail. If your hair is in a full, voluminous bun, it can emphasis the line of demarcation between the extension and your natural hair. Ideally, you need to create a tiny, seamless silhouette bun. For those lucky ladies with longer or thicker hair, try separating your ponytail into two twists or braids and then wrap them around each other to create a tight bun. Now you are ready to add your ponytail. 

Wrapping your extensions- the final step to creating a natural looking drawstring ponytail is to wrap a small section of your extension around our bundle deals.

Wrap the piece of hair around the drawstring ponytail and make sure you get full coverage where the drawstring ponytail is visible. Once this is done, secure the hair with a bobby pin under the ponytail.
