How To Put In Falls
The example photos show a single fall being put in, but the same directions apply to putting in pigtails - just do it on each side of your head. This method works for most hairpieces/falls, with the exception of loose falls with nubs at the top. If you're looking to wear nubby loose falls, refer to the How To Put In Loose Falls With Nubs instructions instead!

What You will Need
- Ponyfalls that are mounted on lace or elastics - available here!
- 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. Put you hair in a high ponytail on your head. Twist it into a bun and secure with rubberbands, bobby pins, and whatever else you may need to tame it. A wide, flat bun is easier to hide than a very tall one. If making it smaller causes bits of hair to stick out, pin them down with bobby pins or bun pins. If you are having trouble getting your hair up into nice, secure buns, try styling it while it is wet.

Once you're satisfied with the way the hair is up, put lots of gel or hairspray in. It will keep any loose hairs from trying to escape, and will make it more secure base for holding up the fall.



2. If your fall is attached to an elastic, tie the part of the elastic that is not holding the fake hair around your bun, with the fake hair hanging forward over your face. You do this pretty much the same way you would twist a plain elastic onto your hair, except you need to be careful not to tangle the fall into it.

If your fall is mounted on lace, tie the lace around the bun with the hair hanging over your face.



3. Flip the hair back over your bun and out of your face. Pin as needed to get it to hang the way you want it to look.

If you don't like how your falls look where they meet up with your hair or would like to add a bit more height to your hairpiece, tie something around the base like a fake hair scrunchie or the leg of an old pair of tights. If you have exceptionally long hair, you can even wrap that around the base and pin into place to cover the bottom of the fall.
