I've only used a clip-on pony; I put my own hair in a loose pony at the back of my head and then twist it and flip it up and attach the comb clip onto the rubber band and twisted hair. That way my hair frames my face and falls all around the top of the ponytail and the fake stuff just adds length. Capistrano Bay does have really soft, quality hair, but the piece they sent me in real life is *much* darker than in the photo (I checked, and the color code is right so they didn't send me the wrong one). A "medium brown" to them is what I'd consider a warm dark brown, and they don't seem to have much in the middle-brown range unless you have serious auburn higlights.

I tried on a gorgeous 3/4 real hair piece at Raks West 4 years ago and it was fantastic (minus the $200 price tag) and turned me into an insta-diva. Had to save the money for costumes at that time....but been regretting it ever since!
