Hair extensions are a great option for many women who dream of thick and voluminous hair. They also open the way to many new hairstyles. Let’s look at some hairstyles that can be done on hair extensions to hide extension clips and simply look gorgeous.
Basic Rules
Hair with extensions calls for a special approach to maintenance. Overly dry or stretched strands won’t return to their initial look. To maintain the ‘wow’-effect longer, be careful to style your hair gently.
- Don’t tie your hair too tight as a tight hairstyle pulls on the extensions and stretches the strands.
- Brush your hair more often and make sure that they don’t get tangled or matted.
- Forget about puff hairstyles.
- Use soft hair rollers that won’t damage your delicate strands.
- Don’t wear large hair accessories on your extensions.
- Don’t wear elastics in your hair for a long time (and definitely don’t leave them in the hair overnight). They might leave unpretty creases.
Hair Styling Products and Tools
- To secure a hairstyle with extensions, you can use sprays, foams, and gels. However, carefully study their formula: it should be gentle and contain natural components.
- Don’t apply styling products to the roots, or your strands might get stuck or matted together.
- When you blow dry your hair with extensions, choose a low-temperature mode.
- A curling iron is fit for styling natural hair extensions. However, choose a low-temperature mode to avoid damaging the extensions. Don’t let the curling iron come in touch with the clips or tapes of your hair extensions.
- Synthetic strands must not be styled with a curling iron — they will simply melt.
Simple Hairstyles with Extensions
Curls
Curls are the best option for hair extensions as they make for smooth transitions between your own hair and extensions. However, don’t forget that you can use a curling iron only on natural hair extensions.
Hollywood Waves
This is a jaw-dropping look for long and voluminous hair with extensions. This styling method also suits only natural hair extensions as it requires heat.
Waterfall
This is a very attractive and elegant hairstyle for hair with extensions. This hairstyle looks especially good on colorful kanekalon hair.
Braids
Braided hairstyles (for example, a French or fishtail braid) are a good way to conceal places where extensions are attached to your hair. Voluminous low braids are a go-to option.
Buns
Messy low buns also mask attachment places well. They suit medium-length hair the best.
Twists
Wide and slightly disheveled twists make for a casual and romantic look and don’t attract attention to the roots.
Low Ponytail
A low ponytail is a simple and stylish casual hairstyle. To give it a touch of originality, do a braided ponytail.
Now you know that you can get hair extensions and still be free to experiment with various hairstyles. There’s no shortage of options. Maintain your hair carefully and enjoy different looks with your splendid voluminous hair.
