Braided braid ponytail in messy style. This hair extension is a real eye-catcher and won't be unveiled as hair piece, because we handmake it in your hair color.
This braid hair piece is about 50 cm/ 22 inches long and ca. 3,5-4 cm/ 1.4-1.6 inches wide, you can vary the width slightly by braiding it more tighly or loosely. In the pictures with the model we show you the tightly braided style, to help you imagine of the smallest version of this undone look hair piece.
The single braid and braid pair are perfect for fine and thin hair, the braid pair also looks natural with regular hair growth. If you want a single braid for regular and thick hair you should get one of our larger messy braid sizes, M or L.

Multi-Styling Hair Piece
Picture 7 and 8: Attach the braid and pin it up into a gorgeous messy bun! This is just like making a hair bun of your own, long hair!
We pinned up the tightly braided braid which makes the bun very small and compact. Just braid the braid more losely if you wish a slightly larger and more fluffy chignon hairstyle!
Picture 9 and 10: You can even unbraid the braid and pin up the 3 strands of hair one after another for a very natural, messy and layered hair bun. This kind of unbraided bun is a very popular wedding hairstyle for the bride and even her bridesmaids - a larger hair piece for the bride and this more subtle bun for the bridesmaids.
Lightweight Hair Piece with Fancy Volume
The messy style looks very realistic and adds nice volume to the hairpiece, although the braid is not heavy. It weighs about 100 grams/ 3.5 oz including the professional attachment.
Long-lasting Hair Extensions
Braids by Magic Tribal Hair are very long-lasting, because you can unbraid them, comb the hair and braid them again. Which will make your braids look exactly the wanted messy style and not the worn out style we don't like.
Which Hair Does This Braid Match
The single messy braid and braid pair in volume size S are perfect for fine and thin hair, the braid pair also looks natural with regular hair growth. If you want a single braid for regular and thick hair you should get one of our larger messy braid sizes, M or L.
This messy braid is a great match for all hair textures: straight, wavy and curly hair. The hair in the braid is not straight, otherwise the braid would be much thinner. Moreover messy stylings are not easy to make with straight hair. We simply work with a basic hairdresser's trick and add some texture to the hair and in this case it's curls. You cannot really see them in the braided braid, hence the braid ponytail is a match to all hair textures, even to straight and wavy hair.
Only when making a layered bun the difference in texture becomes slightly visible. But this is typical for this kind of hairstyle. If you have a hair stylist make a layered bun of your own long or wavy hair, he or she will first add curls with a curling iron to add more volume to your hair. So we use the same trick just with a ready to wear and practical hair piece!
Curls, Waves, Straight Hair - Let's Play With Texture!
Keep in mind that you pull your own hair back into a ponytail to attach the hair extension. this means one can hardly tell how thick or thin your own hair is, if you have lots of hair or few hair and even your hair texture is hard to recognize. This means you can indeed play with hair pieces and add curls to straight hair for a day - keep in mind you spare your hair the stressful perm!
You shouldn't use the messy braid for
braiding your own hair into the braid if you want to keep the undone look. Technically this will work fine, but you must braid the braid even more tightly than we did in the pictures - to prevent your own hair from sticking out and pulling out. This means you will lose the typical messy look. For braiding your hair into a hair piece braid I recommend braid hair extensions of wavy hair and especially our braid wonder hair piece in paranda style.
Please understand that this personalized item is made to order especially for you and cannot be returned! Read all details in our general terms and conditions.

Attachment
Choose between two attachment options in the menu above: Professional or basic attachment.
We recommend the professional attachment with our messy braid hair extensions in case you want to wear this braid as ponytail hair piece, too and not pinned up into a bun only, see explanation "You shouldn't use this messy braid for" further above. The braid shown without model has the professional attachment.
Professional Fishtail Attachment = strong hair tie and two additional strands of hair which complement your own hair so you have more to wrap around the attachment.
This means it's much easier to
1st secure the hair extension and
2nd to cover the junction of your own hair and the synthetic hair!
The direct fusion of your own hair and the additional hair of the fishtail attachment offers maximum hold and is the most natural looking way to attach a hair piece!
This fishtail attachment upgrade provides extra strong hold (i.e. needed for acting and dancing) and most customers find it more comfortable to wear and easier to handle than the basic attachment. I named it fishtail attachment, because the two extra strands reminded me of the shape of a fishtail when I created this attachment method.
The fishtail attachment is highly recommended when you have thin/ fine hair or hair shorter than shoulder long. As it is never too much, you can even add it, if your hair is shoulder long or longer, of course. It is also nice to have, if you like the small buns which occur when the fishtail attachment is used.

Basic Attachment = strong hair tie
You can choose the basic attachment, if your hair is longer than shoulder long and if you don't have fine/ thin hair. Still the fishtail attachment is most practical for braids and never too much, you can add it for any hair length!
There are several ways to use the basic hair tie attachment:
1. The braid is opened, attached to your own ponytail and braided together with your own hair, see pictures with blonde haired doll below. As you have to braid the braid tightly to prevent your own hair from slipping out, the Fantasy Braid will loose its great volume and will look different. That is why we do not recommend this attachment method for this kind of braid.
2. Attach the braid braided to your own ponytail. Your own hair is used to counter-secure the hair fall by being wrapped around the attachment and being secured with hair pins (see first row with black braid). You can also braid your hair before wrapping it around (see second row with blonde lady). This makes an even nicer finish and it is easier to secure and less stressful for your own hair.
Hair Color
Your hair color can be matched perfectly including highlights, lowlights and all shades, because all braided headbands are made to order exclusively! One's own hair usually contains 2-3 colors (only dark hair often consists of 1 color only), hence we include up to 3 colors in the price.
