Hairstyles with a false ponytail: a wonderful transformation in minutes

Short haircuts are comfortable and practical. However, the short length of the strands significantly limits the girl in the choice of styling. Hairstyles with a false ponytail will help to diversify the appearance of beauties with not very long and not too thick hair. A universal accessory allows you to get a chic braid in a few minutes, make a voluminous festive styling or show the world an interesting highlighting effect.

Choose the right accessory

When choosing a false tail, remember the main rule: your little feminine trick should look as natural as possible.

Therefore, when choosing a chignon for yourself, remember:

1. The color of the chignon and your own hair should not be different. The only exception can be the case when you want to create a highlighting effect.
2. Try to match the overhead strands as much as possible with the structure of your family. Therefore, it is better to choose a chignon from natural hair... But, if you still decide to give preference to artificial ones, then make sure that the product is of high quality, and the curls look natural.
3. Pay attention to the attachment of the hairpiece. It can be a crab hairpin or ribbons. Remember that the hairpin will be more difficult to disguise. Especially if your own hair is not too thick.
4. Do not aim to create too much volume so as not to focus attention on a sharp transition from thin own hair at the roots to lush styling.

If you adhere to all the rules, then a hairstyle using a chignon will look natural, as in the photo.

Styling options

Tail

The simplest styling that you can do yourself every day is the tail.

Gather your own strands with a regular elastic band. Attach a false tail at the base of your own by tying a hairpiece ribbon around the elastic. Disguise the attachment point by separating a small strand from the main head of hair, and twisting it several times around the base of the hairstyle. As a result, you will get no less stunning effect than the girl in the photo.

For greater reliability, the false tail can be additionally fixed with pins or invisible pins.

In this case, you can be firmly sure that the chignon will not budge at the most inopportune moment.

There is another little trick: if you braid your own hair before attaching the fake ponytail in a braid, then your new styling will receive additional volume. How this is done can be seen in the photo.

Weaving

A false ponytail is a great option for creating a beautiful, voluminous braid.

The basis of this styling is the same tail. Only if in the previous case the curls remained free, then in this version they are braided. The weaving method can be absolutely any. This option is suitable both for everyday styling and for a festive hairstyle, as in the photo.

To reliably mask the attachment of the chignon and to make the transition from your strands to the overhead less noticeable, bouffant on the parietal part of the head will help.

Buckles

Buckles can be used as a festive hairstyle with a false ponytail. The basis for the brochures is created in the same way as in the previous two styling options:

1. After the hair is collected and the fake tail is securely attached, the entire head of hair is divided into separate strands.
2. Each of the strands is twisted into a ring and attached to the head with invisibility.
3. Strand rings can be randomly arranged or have a certain pattern. It is better if such a styling is done by a master.

Examples of such hairstyles can be seen in the photo.

Additional decorative accessories will simultaneously serve as decoration and disguise of the chignon attachment point.
