To create a celebrity inspired voluminous ponytail like Blake Lively, section of the front, sides and back sections of your hair, so that you are left with the centre section of hair in the middle of your head. Tie this section into a ponytail. Starting with your first strip of clip in extensions, clip it around the base of the pony tail and continue with as many pieces as you need to create the desired look.

Once you have all the pieces in place, gather the remaining sections of hair pull onto the ponytail you have just made, securing with another hair tie. This means that your natural hair will have covered all of the clips of the extensions so that you’re left with one long pony tail.

You then can, if you wish, run hair straighteners through the ponytail to smooth it out, or even put a slight wave in it. Remember to keep hold of the ponytail at the base so that you do not tug on the extensions too much.

Another style that is simple to create using clip in hair extensions, is the ever popular loose waves such as Nicole Richie. Again, start off by spraying a heat protector on your hair and using hair straighteners or curling irons, curl your hair extensions before you attach them to your hair. If you curl them when they are already in, it may tug at the clips and on your natural hair causing damage.
