How to Give Your Falls the Look of Extensions
Many people have mistaken pictures of falls on our website for pictures of full heads of extensions due to the coverage of the hairline sometimes achieved in the pictures. Below are instructions on how to make a pair of ponyfalls look like a full head of extensions and cover your natural hair entirely. This method will work for any kind of falls, even loose ones

What You will Need
- A pair of falls -- the fuller, the better!
- At least four hair ties
- Bobby pins or bun pins - available here!
- Gel, hairspray, or any other product you use to hold your hair in place


Instructions
1. Start out by putting your falls in using the How to Put In Falls or How to Put In Loose Falls with Nubs tutorials. They need to be reasonably long (at least shoulder length) and the higher the count, the better. Make sure to wear them *very* high up on your head.



2. Take a chunk of hair from one of your falls and pull it across your head until you can tuck it behind your ear on the opposite side. Do the same with the other fall. Adjust the hair so it covers the front of your head and pin into place.



3. Once you've completed step two, your falls should look something like this. You can be creative with the front section; for example, you can leave a few pieces hanging down in front to frame your face, or you can cross the sections of each fall more to the side of your head to look more like a side part.

You can stop now if you want your hair to be in pigtails; if you want a huge single mound of hair instead, continue onto the next step.



4. Take another chunk of hair from each fall and tie them together across the very top of your head. This will add height and cover your hair even more. Pull them together tight and add more pins to hold them into place. A tiny jaw clip can help with this as well if your falls are full enough to be able to hide it once its in.



5. Now that the front of your hair is covered, adjust your falls and add more pins if necessary so that some of the hair hangs over the back of your head, and you're done!

If you've gotten to this point and are left with a big tangled mess on your head, take a deep breath, take the falls out, and try again. It may take a bit of practice to get them to look right, but it IS doable :)
