Want to know how to apply a clip-in pony to recreate Molly’s look? Our clip-in ponytails are designed to be quick and easy to apply, so you can upgrade your locks from 0-100 in minutes. Molly wears the 26” Super Sleek Invisi® Ponytail however you can also try our 20” Beach Wave Invisi® Ponytail to speed up styling time, which features a pre-waved texture.
To apply your ponytail, start by putting your natural hair into a tight pony positioned halfway up the head, then use our Super Hold Hair Spray to tame flyaways. The key for this look is the contrast between keeping it sleek and snatched at the top, then transitioning into soft, beachy waves in the ponytail.
Top Tip - Stack two hair bands 1-2cm apart to create a firm base for the ponytail to attach to, and elevate the height of your ponytail. Use the grip built into the base of the clip-in ponytail and slide under your stacked bands, then using the wraparound velcro piece, tightly wrap around the base and secure with a clip.
Prep your hair with Heat Protection Spray and start to wave with the Molly-Mae Waver. Take 2 inch sections at a time, clamping the tool around the top of your section and hold for 8-10 seconds to create a deep, defined wave. The longer you hold each clamp, the tighter and more definition your beach waves will have. Repeat this and work your way down each section for an effortless mermaid mane!
Top Tip - Find it easier to style your extensions off your head? Try waving your clip-in ponytail before applying, leaving the waves to cool and set for 20-30 minutes before applying.
Brush through the finished waves with the Molly-Mae Beach Wave Comb included in the Waver Kit. You should only ever use a comb to dress out your waves, not a brush. The density of a brush’s bristles will cause the waves to lose definition and frizz, whilst the wide tooth design of the comb will glide through the hair effortlessly to keep the wave pattern intact.
Finish off your statement ponytail by applying 2-3 pumps of Anti-Frizz Serum to the waves, running through the lengths and ends to add texture and tame flyaways for a polished, defined effect.
