Eric’s Top High Pony Tips
1. Create A Long-Lasting Pony – 3:43
- Do your high ponies fall flat? The Pony Popper is an easy-to-use clip that gives you a perfectly poppin’ pony that’ll stay put—click here to see how it works!

- Placement of the invisibobble is crucial for keeping the pony in place, so Eric says to wrap it around the bottom of the Pony Popper. (Click here to order your pack of invisibobbles from the BTC Shop!)

The secret to volume that lasts? Lots of hairspray!
2. Ensure Extensions Go Unseen – 4:50
- Think extensions and updos can’t work together? Think again. The trick is strategically placing them—here’s what Eric does:
- Tape-Ins: Apply them away from the hairline so no tracks show as you pull the hair up.
- Clip-Ins: Wrap the extensions around the first ponytail, then place the Pony Popper directly over that to secure them.

3. Up Your Ticket Price And Make Her Pony Edgier – 7:23
- Adding a pop of vibrant color with a clip-in extension is a quick add-on service that instantly gives her more edge.
- Place a colored clip-in underneath the ponytail, then wrap it around the base of the pony. Use bobby pins to secure the extension and hide the invisibobble.
