Hair
extensions are the perfect secret weapon for all your Christmas
hairstyles. If you are using your hair extensions to enhance your length
or volume or if you’re using them by following these simple Christmas
hairstyle tips, you really can change your look in a just few minutes!
Using hair extensions can create the perfect styles for those after work
parties, family gatherings and for all the events you will be attending
over the festive season!
Half updo’s
This
Christmas hair style is great for adding extra volume at the crown of
your head and for looking super glamorous for the festive season! First
fit your extensions and straighten or curl your hair with these for a
seamless look. Start the style by sectioning the upper section of hair
away from the bottom. In the upper section of hair take a smaller
section of your own hair at the crown of your head and backcomb this, be
sure to leave enough hair to smooth over the backcombed section. Pull
the upper section of hair, all together as if you are tying into a
ponytail, but instead twist this ... push the hair up and pin in place.
This will give added ooomph to the crown. Use a jewelled clip to secure
the hair in place for the perfect Christmas hair style.
Plaits/Braids
This
style has been growing in popularity all year and continues to look
gorgeous for the festive season. Whether it’s in an updo or worn down,
plaits/braids are a must have Christmas hair style. If you prefer to
wear your hair down, a super easy trick is to take a single weft of your
hair extensions and fold the clips in on themselves so they are about
1” wide. Ask a friend to hold this for you or use a hair clamp to attach
to something solid so that you can split the hair and plait/braid as
you would with your own hair. Use a small snag/elastic to secure the
ends. Once you have styled your hair as normal you can use this weft of
hair extension as a headband, securing the clip section with pins at the
nape of the neck so no one will ever know your secret. This is the
perfect trick for adding plaits/braids to a chignon too as you can
simply hide the clips with the wrapped around hair!
Buns
This
season has seen the return of the large bun, whether worn up high or to
the side this looks super glamorous if you have super thick hair, but
for those who aren’t blessed with super dense hair, hair extensions can
come to your rescue! Flip your head upside down and tie your own hair
into a high ponytail for the high option or pull your hair to the side
and tie behind the ear. In a circular position, fit a few wefts of your
hair extensions around the base of your ponytail. Try and position
these as close to your bobble as possible and then closer to the hair
extension wefts as you add more. Then when you have added as many wefts
of your hair extensions as you like, simply twist the hair around itself
and pin into place. The extra hair should be thick enough to hide where
you have clipped in the hair extensions!
Victory Rolls
These
is the ultimate 40’s hair style; they are the epitome of the era and
look very glamorous. This style looks great when worn with loose hair or
as an accompaniment to an updo. A great way at cheating with this look
is to use a single weft of your hair extensions! Don’t fit the hair
extensions to your hair, but roll them in your hand and use a pin to
hold the shape. Position at the top or on the side of your hair
depending on the style you are recreating. We love the vintage inspired
looks appearing everywhere at the moment and this would be just perfect
as your Christmas hairstyle of choice!!
