Do whatever your happy with doing
if your going thru a phase where you need to do this, just do it. It doesnt matter if it looks fake or not, long as your happy with it and it does what you want it do for you

It looks fake, but IMO most weave ponytails do. That's not a bad thing. I think it is most important to get a color and sheen match to the fake hair which I think you did a good job of doing 
Your black matches the black in the ponytail so it is all good.

Hey, OP, I know how you feel. I needed a phony pony with a quickness and thought the BSS would have one. They didn't. They had hair just like what you have in a bag sealed that they told me was puff. I was desperate as I had undone my extensions and had a bald patch in the back. I would cornrow the front but needed something to hide the back coz of the missing hair. So I took that since everything else was straight. Come to find that the hair I got was actually tracks and not a phony pony. 
I had to think fast. I made a cap from cutting off legs of a pair of tights and sewing the leg holes up, then putting this on a stuffed toy's head and sewing the tracks on weave style--or a good imitation. I ended up with something like what you have.
Hated it coz it looked nothing like my hair. Plus if I leaned the wrong way, the hair'd expose the bald spots (Think of those dolls with only a row of hair
) I needed to make this work for work the next day, so I took the nets you usually find on wigs and put it over the hair. The net is not shiny so it added a touch of dullness that is typical of my hair, making the fake hair look closer to mine. The net also stopped the swinging motion of the fake hair which was another loud shout of how fake it was, so that I got an afro puff-like shape. Still, it was clearly not a good match, but it definitely was an improvement. I got a lot of praise for that do the next day at work. I'm sorry I didn't have a good cam back then so the image isn't clear but the hair was exactly as you have OP, with all the highlights. The net (or two) I used to hold the hair compact and still made it look a little closer to my own hair but not quite. Still better than before:

Just wanted to add, OP, because of the difference in texture, what I would do if I were you is use a scarf folded into a wide ribbon to cover your hair, so the only hair being seen is the fake hair. I think the difference in texture is what makes the style look cheap or like you are trying too hard to fool folks and failing miserably. If no one can see a difference in texture, then it doesn't look bad IMO.
Many of us wear fake hair; whether you pass or fail depends on how "complete" and unforced the style looks on you.

Thanks. What i did was just pin down some of the hair to cover the weft and wrapped with a scarf. I'm not tryong to fool anyone, I just don't want to look like a total fool.

I agree that it does look fake, but can always tell buy the way they are attached But do what you have to do. You have still done a good job.
