Thread: hair piece help

A friend of mine gave me one of those synthetic ponytails held in place by a butterfly clip so when you put it on it looks like you have a long ponlytail. What are some ways to hide where it meets your head? It's like there is this pontail coming from nowhere on my head. Suggestions? ( I have fine hair so not much to work with)

You might tie a ribbon around it or put some combs in with jewels on them. I used a bunch of fresh flowers once and just pushed them into the phony pony and held them in place with bobby pins. You can also use some nice silk flowers. I also have used some of the head wraps that come with costumes to wrap around it.

Use part of the ponytail (a 1-inch section from underneath, say) to wrap around the base of it, à la I Dream of Jeanie.

I pull a section of my real hair forward. Like from the front of my ears. Then I do a french twist as the base to anchor the banana clip. Use hair pins. Once I have the hair clip in, I pull most of the my real hair which I seperated back over the top of the ponytail and clip in place, usually with a sparkly clip, although sometimes with a regular barrette, making sure to get both my real hair and hair from the pony tail into what ever I am using as a clip.

People come up and play with my hair pieces. they think they are real.

Surround it with your natural hair, if you could show a picture of it I could help you more.

I poke in sparkly chop sticks to hold some of the fake hair next to head. It also stabelizes the pony too.

I am looking for decent photos showing this, but not having a lot of luck. You might be able to get an idea from my youtubes tahirabellydancer

Checked out the video...looks to me like you can clip it in pull two 1/2 inch thick strands from the bottom up along the side and pin them at the top so that it drapes down covering the connection site.

More or less, yes.

Am I watching the right clip? Single dancer wearing purple? I couldn't see close enough on that one.

I have a sort of shag hair style so it's too short to wrap anything. But maybe I'll try the fresh flowers or wrapping pieces of the Phony pony
