***Update- August 2019***

I now use a slightly different strategy, as my hair is now too long and bulky to fit under the real buns. Now, I make two pony tails, anchor the top of the hair piece into the ponytail, and wrap my own hair into the extension. I recommend using product on the ends of your hair to keep the pieces from sticking out. I'll update with this method at some point!
