Get Selena Gomez's Long Ponytail

Selena had shoulder-length hair only a few weeks ago, which means that this waist-skimming ponytail must be an extension! It's easier than you might think to try this look yourself. All you need is a ponytail hair extension that matches your hair color (the Hairdo 18" Pony Tail, $44, qvc.com, comes in nine different shades).

Make a side part and pull your hair into a low side ponytail with your fingers. Secure with an elastic band. Now just slide the comb attached to the extension into the top of the ponytail, right behind the elastic band. Then wrap a 1-inch section of hair around the hair tie and hold it in place with a bobby pin.
