We know a ponytail should stay in place. The Full Shine extension uses a strong, wide Velcro strap to attach to your hair. This design gives you a custom fit, but sometimes you might feel it could be more secure. Here are the best ways to use it for a strong hold.
Why Strong Hold Ponytail Might Feel Loose Sometimes?
A few common factors can affect how well the Velcro strap holds:
Hair Texture & Slip
Smooth or freshly washed silky hair often lacks sufficient texture, and as a result, the Velcro’s direct grip may be weaker and less secure.
The Base Matters
Place the extension’s base over your bun or ponytail. Pull the Velcro strap snugly and wrap it all the way around. Make sure it lies flat.
Natural Wea
With regular use, the tiny hooks on the Velcro can collect lint or hair products, which may slightly reduce its gripping power over time.
How you put it on
For proper adhesion, the Velcro must be pressed down firmly and evenly along its entire length to ensure a reliable and strong hold.
How to use ponytail extensions for strong hold?
Follow these steps for a ponytail that feels confident and secure:
Build a strong base
Tie your own hair into a firm, neat low ponytail. For the optimal hold, be sure to securely fasten the ponytail with a hair tie. This creates an absolutely solid and non-slip base for the wide Velcro strap to wrap around correctly.
Wrap it tight
Place the extension’s base firmly over your ponytail. Pull the Velcro strap snugly, wrapping it smoothly and evenly all the way around the base. Ensure it lies completely flat to secure it firmly in place.
Press hard
This is important. Don’t just touch the Velcro closed. Use your fingers to press firmly along the entire strap. You should hear a strong “ripping” sound. This means all the tiny hooks are connected.
For all-day security
If you’re going to be very active, add 1-2 bobby pins. Slide them through the extension’s fabric base and into your own bun underneath. This locks it in place.
Keep It Clean
Occasionally check the Velcro strip for any fuzz or product buildup. Gently cleaning it with a tweezers or a fine-tooth comb can help restore its full grip.
