5 Easy Ways to Style Your Hair Extensions for the Holidays

5 Ways to Style Your Hair Extensions for the Holidays

‘Tis the season for social gatherings! Whether it’s with family and friends, or with your colleagues - we all want to look and feel our best, and maybe turn a few heads whenever possible *wink* Here are some easy ways to elevate your style this holiday party season.

Smart Styling Options for Multiple Events

You don't have to overdo it! Style your hair once, and wear it different ways. This method not only saves you time, but it is better for your extensions to not have to over-style and use a ton of products. Plan your looks around your calendar. Start with curls and a simple updo, low bun, or half up style, then on day two, take your hair down and brush it out for a softer look, and consider using a different hair accessory.

5 Ways to Style Your Extensions:

• A loose braid with a subtle accessory
• A low, messy bun with a rhinestone clip
• Adding curls and volume in the crown and wearing a simple, decorative headband is a great look
• A loosely pulled back half up style secured with a festive bow is a stunning look
• A glam ponytail - where the ponytail has a lot of volume from brushed out curls or waves. This is a great look whether you have curtain bangs, or no fringe and it’s all smoothly pulled back into the ponytail

Accessorize Your Locks

Using accessories to add a little more sparkle to your look is a quick and easy way to elevate your style. Bows, rhinestone clips, gold or silver pins, there’s so many beautiful choices for your seasonal hair do. You could go for holiday colours like red and green accessories, or just keep it elegant with gold or silver hair clips.

Supporting small businesses to source your accessories is something to consider. Small businesses care a lot about the customer experience and provide great customer service. Also, supporting small businesses changes lives and communities for the better, so let's consider doing more of this for this holiday season and 2025 and beyond.

Styling Tips

Give yourself lots of time to let your hair completely dry before you start curling your hair - otherwise the curls won’t hold. 

When using hot tools, stay away from where the extensions are attached to your own hair. In some cases, like k-tips, you could melt the bonds - which would be bad! Even with wefts, you don’t need to try to over style near the top/closer to your scalp. Doing so could result in unnecessary damage to your extensions, so just keep hot tools away from your scalp area to preserve the life of your extensions.

These tips can help you feel your best during all of your holiday festivities! 

Happy Holidays!
