Frontal Ponytail
The sleekest, most natural-looking frontal ponytail screams the perfect blend of glamor and finesse. This protective style not only puts a spotlight on your facial features but also gives versatility sans the unnatural hairline. Whether the intention is a polished updo or a snatched high ponytail, putting in that frontal ponytail the right way ensures long-lasting beauty and protection of the hairline.
What Is A Frontal Ponytail And Why Choose It?
For a smooth and realistic look, a frontal ponytail combines a lace piece of lace that runs from ear to ear with individual hair strands hand-tied with a frontal ponytail put at the hairline of the head. It curls perfectly in with the natural hair, making it appear that the hair is just growing right from the scalp. The advantages of this style include also that it is so well hidden, styling flexibility, and lower tension on the hairline.
Tools And Materials Needed To Install
Okay, before we start the whole process, we need to have the right tools and materials:

-Rat Tail Comb
-Hair Glue Or Lace Adhesive
-Hair Dryer
-Needle And Thread (For The Method Of Sewing)
-Elastic Band
-Hair Wax Stick Or Edge Control
-Hot Comb Or Flat Iron
-Alcohol And Cotton Pads (For Cleaning The Hairline)

Step-By-Step Installation Instruction For Frontal Ponytail
1. Preparation Of The Natural Hair
Start with hair clean, dry and detangled, then cornrow natural hair over the back, with a straight, and flat base for a lace frontal. This also helps maintain longevity and prevents bulkiness using wet and wavy bundles.
Completely cover the natural hair with a wig cap or stocking cap. Seal around the perimeter with Got2b freeze spray cool air blow dry until completely set. Cut the excess material next to the forehead.
2. Clean Up And Prime The Hairline
Cleansing the skin at the hairline using alcohol and cotton pads, removing all oils or residues that can affect adhesion. Skin protectant or scalp protector for sensitive skin.
3. Attach Lace Frontal
With the lace frontal, where you want your natural hairline to be, you’ll have to make sure you’re aligned properly from ear to ear.
Using a rat tail comb, gently push the lace down from the middle, working outward, after applying a tiny layer of lace adhesive or glue in portions to the hairline and waiting until the glue becomes sticky.
Tighten the elastic band around the forehead to hold the lace and help melt it into the skin. Wait for at least ten minutes.
4. Trim The Lace For A Realistic Hairline
After securing the lace, trim the excess lace using scissors or a razor blade. The zig-zag movement, instead of cutting straight, mimics the irregularity of a natural hairline.
Another quick tip is to pluck the hairline slightly with tweezers to create that gradual density transition. Just be really gentle and do not go over, though.
5. Style The Ponytail Base
Flatten the frontal using a wax stick and hot comb so that a sleek foundation can be attained. Then, part the hair as desired (the middle or side part or straight back for a high ponytail).
Join all the hair from the frontal and some leave-outs that you’ve decided to keep out in a super tight, smooth ponytail, using a brush along with a strong-hold gel or edge control.
Then, secure the base of the ponytail with a rubber band or hair tie. Make sure it’s tight enough to hold but not too tight to the point that it causes tension and discomfort.
Continue wrapping the bundle around in circles, moving to the top to form a thick and full ponytail. Secure the end of the weft with bobby pins or thread.
Take a small section of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the base to hide the tracks and give a polished, salon-quality finish.
Conclusion
Well-installed frontal ponytail not only adds shine to an entire look but also keeps the natural hair secret beneath. With an eagle eye and the expert steps’ meticulous detailing, you would get a sleek, snatched ponytail to turn heads while keeping the illusion of a natural hairline. For that impeccably formal event, special photoshoot, or just to feel your best, this style purely offers beauty with practicality.
