2. Use a curling iron to curl small sections of hair, holding the iron vertically.
3. Gently brush through the curls with a wide-tooth comb to create soft waves.

Sleek Ponytail

Tip: Use a smoothing serum to tame any frizz and create a polished look.

Tutorial:
1. Brush your hair extensions and natural hair to remove any tangles.
2. Gather your hair into a high or low ponytail and secure it with an elastic band.
3. Take a small section of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the base to hide the elastic.
4. Secure the wrapped section with a bobby pin and smooth down any flyaways.

A sleek ponytail is a chic and sophisticated style that's perfect for formal events or a night out. This look keeps your hair out of your face while highlighting the length and shine of your extensions.

Braided Crown

Tip: Use clip-in extensions for added volume and length to create a fuller braid.

Tutorial:
1. Part your hair down the middle and clip in the extensions close to your scalp.
2. Take a small section of hair from one side and begin braiding it towards the back of your head.
3. Repeat on the other side.
4. Secure both braids at the back with bobby pins, creating a crown-like effect.
5. Gently pull on the braids to loosen them for a softer look.

The braided crown is an elegant and romantic style that's perfect for weddings and special occasions. This look creates a halo effect around your head, adding a touch of ethereal beauty.

Voluminous Curl

2. Use a large-barrel curling iron to curl sections of your hair away from your face.
