MacDougall explains that for this mode, she used a full ponytail extension. This is great not only for those concerned about thin hair, but for people who just want to occasionally change up their look for fun.

Pixies are adorable, but leaving just a few extra inches to play with on top can really work wonders if you’re concerned about making your hair look thicker.
