What is a better way to feeling and look your best? As we all know, having beautiful hair is one of the best ways to boost your mood and your confidence. Hair extensions can be a great and convenient aid in achieving the hairstyle you’ve always wanted. We all would like to switch up looks every now and then, and it’s important to know how to style your hair in ways to enhance your look without always having to go to a professional hair stylist. Not sure what hairstyles work best with hair extensions? Look no further! We’ve put together a list of 4 effortless hairstyles that work with different types of hair extension method that you can tackle yourself without much hassle.
1. Beach Waves
2. Slick-back Low Ponytail
3. Messy Bun
The messy bun is a definite go-to for a cute, casual, yet flirty look especially when you’re on the go. This hairstyle goes great with clip-in hair extensions because you can easily alter and manipulate the hair to your liking. You just have to make sure you place your clip-ins in the right direction for this look. Clip-ins are very flexible and work great with updos such as this. After you have installed the hair extensions near the parameters of your head, simply grab a handful of hair at the front to lightly tease with a brush and bend your head down to gather the rest of your hair and tie together inside out in a high bun and tease and fluff out to your desired “messy” look. Tuck loose ends and strands in the hair tie and bun as necessary, and discreetly secure with bobby pins if needed.

Quick tip for a bad hair day with extensions
If you feel your hair just will not cooperate no matter how you style it and you need to start over, spritz your hair with water using a spray bottle, brush through the slightly damp hair, and blow dry. This is an easier and quicker fix if you don’t have time to jump in the shower and wait for your hair to completely dry before styling. Blow drying the slightly damp hair will help allow better control of styling your hair the way you want it. The quality of your hair extensions themselves also matter. If you have salon-quality hair extensions and keep them well-maintained, you will usually have fewer bad days (if any at all)!
What to do with frizzy ends
This can happen every once in a while, and an easy fix is to lightly spritz in leave-in conditioner spray on your frizzy ends. The leave-in conditioner will restore nourishment, moisture, and help repair your hair without having to worry about slipping any of your hair extensions using traditional conditioners. For normal use, our Secret Conditioner paired with the Secret Shampoo is designed for every customer, whether you have colored hair, extensions, or completely virgin hair, contains a completely natural formula free of harsh sulfates and parabens leaving your hair super clean, shiny, and soft. Avoid applying conditioner to the base of your tape-in extensions to prevent the extensions from slipping or falling.
