HALF UP HALF DOWN PONYTAIL TUTORIAL

Using a tail comb, start by sectioning off your hair at the middle of your ears to the top of your head. Secure this with an elastic to create your half up ponytail. You can leave the look here, but to recreate those Arianna vibes, we're going to be using clip in hair extensions for some serious volume!
It can be a little tricky applying a full set of clip ins to create an updo. Which is we we LOVE using our ZALA ponytail extensions as they are super easy to apply for an instant length and volume boost! Simply hook the clip into the base of your ponytail and secure the velcro. Then wrap around and pin in place!
Now this step is optional, but we applied a 5 piece clip in set to the rest of the hair to balance out the look and add some length.
Once your hair extensions are applied, it's time to start curling! To create these playful curls, we use the Spiral attachment on the ZALA Cosmo Wand. Remember you can safely style the human hair ponytails only.
Finish with some texturizing spray and you're done! It's really that simple!
