Styling Ideas

• Create a sleek base by smoothing your natural hair into a high ponytail using gel or edge control.
• Attach your drawstring ponytail and use additional hair pins for added security. This classic style is perfect for any occasion, from brunch with friends to a night out on the town.

• For a sophisticated and timeless look, pull your natural hair into a low bun at the nape of your neck.
• Attach your drawstring ponytail and wrap it around itself to create a bun, tucking the ends under and securing with hair pins for a polished finish.

• Secure the top half of your hair into a ponytail and attach your drawstring ponytail.
• Leave the bottom half of your hair loose and add some Blūm clip-ins for extra volume and movement. This style is perfect for casual days or when you simply want to switch up your look.

Caring for Your Drawstring Ponytail

• Gentle Washing: Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to clean your ponytail, avoiding harsh scrubbing. Detangle any hair that may have intertwined during the wash process.
• Air Drying: Allow your ponytail to air dry naturally to prevent heat damage. If needed, use a soft t-shirt or microfiber towel to gently squeeze out excess water.
• Proper Storage: When not in use, store your ponytail in a cool, dry place like your Blūm bag, or inside any protective satin pouch.
