  1. Ponytails

Ponytails are a type of bun-like hairstyle. However, unlike your regular bun, they don’t sit on top of your head. Rather, they hang down low. Some ponytail extensions include the afro kinky ponytail, curly girl ponytail, and kinky blow-out ponytail, among others.

What you need to style your ponytail

  • Wide-tooth comb
  • Spritz bottle
  • Hairbrush
  • Blow dryer
  • Your leave-in conditioner
  • Satin scarf
  • Hair gel
  • Elastic bands
  • Your ponytail extension

How to style your ponytail

  1. Spritz your hair with water followed by your leave-in conditioner.
  2. Detangle your hair with your wide-tooth comb.
  3. Pull your hair into a bun and secure it with your elastic band(s).
  4. Now smooth your hair back with gel and a hairbrush.
  5. Attach your ponytail extension by pulling its drawstring to help secure it to your hair.
  6. Wrap your satin scarf around your hair and leave it for 10 – 15 minutes.
  7. Take out the scarf and dry it with your blow dryer.

  1. Crochet Braids

This hairstyle is made using synthetic hair extensions attached to your natural hair with a crochet hook. It can take you between 2 – 3 hours to get it done but it can also last for as long as 8 weeks. You can watch some YouTube videos to help you DIY. Similarly, you can buy crochet braids wigs here if you don’t want them installed directly on your natural hair.

  1. Finger coils

This type of hairstyle doesn’t need fancy hair tools to be achieved. All you need is your curl activator gel and your fingers. Simply pick some strands of hair, apply your gel and twirl the strands from roots to tips.

  1. Jumbo Braids

These vary from the traditional box braids because they are bigger and thicker (usually between 12 – 18 braids). They are considered an easy hairstyle because they take less time to do than traditional braids. To do Jumbo braids, simply section your natural hair into 12 – 18 boxes and then braid the extensions into them.

  1. Clip-ins

Clip-in hairstyles are considered a one-minute because all you need to do is open the metal clips and close them in on your natural hair. You can shop for different types of clip-in hair extensions on naturalgirlwigs.com.

  1. Afro

To do this hairstyle, first put your natural hair in flat twists. After that, take out the twists, and spritz your hair with water and coconut oil.
