Why it feels heavy?

1. Installation Issues

Placing the ponytail too high on your head strains your scalp and using too-tight elastics or clips creates tension.

2. Hair Type Mismatch

Fine or thin natural hair struggles to support heavy extensions.

How to fix?

Install properly according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Avoid overly long/thick styles (e.g., skip 24″ if you have fine hair).
Wear the ponytail lower (mid or nape) for better weight distribution.
Use a soft, silicone-lined elastic instead of a tight hair tie.
Skip teasing your natural hair (reduces bulk).
Shorten overly long extensions to reduce weight.
