6 Ways to Style Your Hair Using Hair Extensions
Hair extensions can provide just about any head of hair with added length, volume, thickness, and beauty. Whether you wear extensions everyday or only when you want to boost your look for a special occasion, here are some great ideas for styling hair extensions.
Style #1: Braids
When natural hair is braided, it tends to lose a lot of its volume. With hair extensions, you can have voluminous and longer braids, even if you have naturally short hair. Try French braids, waterfall braids, and fishtail braids. Chunky braids that are slightly pulled apart to add volume are especially popular right now. Add a side braid to a down style, or try one large braid with all of your hair. Braids look casual and cute for everyday, and can be just as chic for special events when styled with curled hair, pulled over as a headband, or wrapped around a chignon.
Style #2: Ponytail
Every girl wants to achieve that thick, long and flow-y ponytail. Hair extensions can add volume and length to your hair, giving you a ponytail fit for the red carpet. For a high ponytail, put in your hair extensions upside down to get all the hair in the same direction, or apply them normally for a low pony. Leave a piece of hair out to wrap around the hair tie.
Style #3: Half Up-Do
When you want something more formal for a wedding or prom, the half up-do is perfect. Add a few hair extensions around your head for extra length and volume. If your extensions are natural, curl them to add some grip and romance. If not, look for already curly synthetic extensions. Split your hair above your ear on either side, and part it just below your crown. Add some volume by teasing your crown before you pull the top hair together with a tie or bobby pins.
Style #4: Curling
Sometimes, you just want to keep things simple but still add style to your hair. Whether you’re going out with the ladies, heading to date night, or going shopping, curl your natural hair and extensions, finger comb them, and enjoy your long, luxurious mermaid locks. Use a smaller curling iron for tighter curls, and a larger barrel, about two inches wide, to achieve Victoria’s Secret waves.
Style #5: High Bun
Hair extensions are excellent for adding volume, not just length. To achieve the perfect, full high bun, whether sleek or messy, apply your extensions upside down to get everything in the right direction. Twist the hair around a high ponytail and secure it with bobby pins. Leave out a few face-framing hairs for a whimsical touch.
Style #6: Pop of Color
You can add some major style to your hair without any actual styling. Simply pop in a few colorful hair extensions and you’re good to go! Get that ombré look without the hair stylist or damaging hair dye. The result will be the most impactful yet low maintenance style yet!
