The bubble ponytail for a fun elegance is sure to be noticed.
The bubble ponytail can be created with any ponytail hair extension but works best with a medium to long or extra-long ponytail extension. This style has become popular among models and actresses in recent years.
- Begin by brushing all the tangles from your hair and the ponytail human hair extension.
- Now attach the ponytail extension as you normally would.
- Remember to tuck some of your hair over the clip to hide it well. Secure that piece of hair camouflage with a bobby pin.
- Now, beginning two inches from where the ponytail extension is attached, bunch the hair between your fingers and push it up lightly so it bulges into a bubble.
- Secure with a hair tie so it is nice and tight, and the bubble stays formed when you remove your fingers.
- Repeat every two to three inches to the bottom of the ponytail extension.
- Apply a little styling mousse with your fingertips to keep all those wild hairs nice and smooth.
You can add playfulness to this look by using scrunchies instead of hair ties or barrettes.

- To really make this hairstyle resemble waves moving in the ocean, you want to have a nice shiny luster. To achieve that, it’s best to apply leave-in conditioner before you begin. Be sure to allow the conditioner to absorb into both your own hair and the ponytail extension.
- Attach the ponytail extension as usual. Hide the clip with a piece of your own hair and secure it with a bobby pin.
- Use a hair tie a couple of inches below the clip to hold the top of the ponytail together.
- Use your styling brush to poof the hanging hair of the ponytail extension gently.
- Now spray the heat protectant onto the human hair ponytail extension. This next step is not possible with most artificial hair ponytail extensions, so try to get a human hair ponytail extension instead.
- Using your wide crimper or a curling iron with a one-inch or larger barrel. Begin waving the hair of the ponytail hair extension. Keep the heat moderate and no higher than medium to protect the ponytail extension and your own hair.
- Only hold each section of hair for five to seven seconds. Pro tip: only wrap the hair loosely around the barrel to get more wave and less curl. Continue to the bottom of the ponytail extension.
- To add volume, use your rounded wig brush and reverse curl halfway section by section to add volume to your waves.
