    Now that the three-pronged comb is securely placed behind the rubber band, wrap the one side of the piece and then the other underneath the ponytail base and press together so that the 1½” Velcro® tab on the inside of the piece connects with the Velcro® strip across the top of the piece. Once the Velcro® connection is securely made, wrap the long strip of hair around the top of the pony tail and continue wrapping the strip of hair until it is completely wrapped around the ponytail base.

    Finish the style as desired.

    Removing the piece
    To remove the piece, first undo the chignon, then unwrap the 14” strip of hair, loosen the Velcro® attachment, and gently lift out the three pronged comb. Pulling or tugging to remove the piece without doing so can result in damage to your own hair.
