Espresso Ponytail Hair Extensions

We always recommend removing your Ponytail after you have finished for the day, or at night before bed. When storing your Pony for the night, be sure to remove any tangles and brush the hair thoroughly with a brush - we recommend using a loop brush. The best storage is gently placing them in a satin or silk pillow case, or your Kiki Satchel - in a cool dry place like your wardrobe or drawer. You can also store your Pony in a clean, dry box, container or you can display your Ponys' by hanging it in your wardrobe. How you care for your Pony will ultimately affect its longevity. The key is to remember to treat your Ponytail Extension with high-care just as you would your own hair by hydrating daily/weekly, and cleansing / conditioning every 20-30 full day wears. 

Your Ponytail Extension Piece is ready to wear, sometimes all it needs is a quick brush! As your Pony is High Quality Remy Human Hair - you can use heart tools like straighteners, curling wands & mermade tools to create beautiful styles like bouncy & curly, sleek & straight, hollywood waves, braids and many more diverse looks.

First, be sure that you keep your ponytail extension piece clean and hydrated. We recommend washing your Ponytail every 20-30 full day wears. Yes… that’s 20-30 full days meaning morning- night wear. The more you wash your extensions, the less they will last.

Always use Sulfate-free Products and avoid anything that contains Protein or Hydrolysed Keratin as this can and will cause irreversible damage even after just one use such as shedding, drying, matting and tangling. Harsh shampoos that contain sulfates, alcohol, parabens, parfums can also cause the hair to become dull, dry, and damaged. Never wash your Ponytail while it is still attached to your natural hair, this could cause damage, split ends, and breakage.

Fill a container or your bathroom basin with mildly warm water.  Lather your extensions in the water to pre-soak them ensuring you avoid wetting your pony band / any material other then hair.

Apply your Hydrating or Cleansing Shampoo on your Ponytail and massage in with your fingers in a downwards, circular GENTLE motion Avoid Shampoos that have potent colours to avoid any “grabbing”. Avoid twisting, scrubbing or rubbing the hair to avoid tangles.

Rinse Extensions off in basin or mildly warm water Repeat Process with your Hydrating Conditioner, leaving your condition to sit for 5-20 mins (ensure you read your product information).

Repeat rinsing process. After conditioning, some clients like to let their Clips naturally dry by laying them down on a towel until completely dry, or gently blow drying on low heat with heat protectant. Your natural hair will benefit greatly from the sebum produced by the scalp. This natural oil helps your natural hair remain moisturised and full of sheen. However, you must restore this moisture to extension hair because it is not attached to your scalp. This is to prevent the hair from becoming dry and lackluster in appearance. You can do this by deep conditioning the hair, depending on how often you wear your Pony.

Look for ingredients that are enriched with botanicals blends, butters, oils and moisturisers to help smooth and hydrate the hair. Avoid all protein , and please contact Kiki with any questions.
