Braids, Ponytails and Buns for Extensions
For people who wear extensions, one question often matters a lot: which hairstyles can I create with my human hair extensions?
You have finally made your dream of long, voluminous hair come true and now you want to try all the hairstyles that didn't look quite as stunning with short hair?
But does a braided hairstyle even work without exposing all the attachment points?
The answer is: yes! All it takes is a little skill and practice. In this blog post, we want to help you style new and glamorous looks with a few tips and tricks. The best part is that you can create these hairstyles on your own at home.
Braids with extensions
Braided styles can be a challenge even without extensions. A strand sticks out here, the braid is uneven there, and in the end you undo the whole thing and have wasted half an hour in the bathroom. But it doesn't have to end that way. Braids work best on unwashed hair because they hold better. Your hair doesn't need to be really greasy, just not freshly washed. A spray conditioner or hair oil can smooth the outer cuticle layer for a beautiful result.
To hide the attachment points of your extensions, take care at the start of braiding to cover any visible clips, tapes, keratin bondings or microrings with individual strands of hair and secure them with hair clips and hairspray. Then you can simply braid the rest of the strand back into the braid.
ponytail
The ponytail is one of the most versatile hairstyles there is. It can look elegant or sporty. It is perfect for a lazy day at home and a hectic day at work. But if your hair is on the thin side, it can easily look like a skinny little rat's tail hanging from your head. With ponytail extensions, you can create a voluminous ponytail that suits any occasion. Simply wrap the built-in strand around the hair tie to conceal the transition between your own hair and the extensions.
If you already have permanent extensions, you can of course style a sophisticated ponytail with them too. It is best to use two or even three hair ties, and here too it is a good idea to hide the hair ties with a strand of hair and secure it with bobby pins and hairspray. For a sleek look, simply apply hairspray before you tie the ponytail. Beach waves are easy to imitate with sea salt spray, and dry shampoo helps give your hair more grip.
The bun
The bun is popular with celebrities and fashion lovers alike. It gives you a casual everyday hairstyle that still looks elegant. Messy buns are ideal for hot summer days, but half buns are also totally in fashion right now. Simply divide your mane into two sections and make a bun with the top layer. The "under" hair stays down, and with a few waves in it you have a look that is easy yet looks great. The same rule applies here as for the two previous hairstyles: a bun works best with unwashed hair, and small helpers like hairspray, bobby pins, salt spray or dry shampoo make it easy to cover those pesky attachment points.
These hairstyles are perfect for anyone wearing extensions, because the attachment points of your hair extensions are easy to conceal. As you can see, extensions don't stop you from creating beautiful hairstyles and styling yourself for every occasion.
