How To Style Hair With Extensions
Before we get into the hairstyles with extensions, there are a few things you need to know about styling extensions. You must take extra care when styling to ensure you don’t damage your hair extensions in any way.
Keep these tips in mind when styling your extensions:
- Use a brush that’s gentle on extensions, such as a loop brush or boar bristle
- Avoid brushing your hair when wet, as it’s when your hair is more prone to damage
- Be careful not to tug on extension attachment points when brushing or styling
- Limit heat styling, when you do, use a heat protectant and the lowest heat setting
- Use hair care products that are safe to use on hair extensions
- Ensure you don’t use any products with oil near tape in attachments (which can affect the hair adhesive)
As long as you follow these steps, you’ll have no problem styling your hair with extensions. Now, onto the hairstyles for hair with extensions!
Date Night Hairstyles With Extensions
There are many different ways to style hair with extensions for a date night out. Whether you want to keep it simple or go all out, we have all of your hair inspo ahead!
Check out these hairstyles for hair with extensions:
Loose Waves
Loose waves are one of the most popular looks for hairstyles with extensions. They’re a fantastic way to easily blend extensions into natural hair.
How To:
- Use a curling iron that’s one inch in diameter (for that loose wave style you want!)
- Start curling your hair about halfway down, staying away from the ends of your hair
- Curl your hair in small sections away from your face, holding for 10 seconds, then releasing
- Run your fingers through your hair to loosen the curls, then set it with hairspray
Classic Braid
If you’re looking for a timeless yet elegant style, a braid ticks all the boxes. Once you get the technique down, this will be added to your go-to date night hairstyles.
How To:
- Divide your hair into three even sections
- Cross the right section over the middle section, and repeat with the left section
- Continue this process down to the end of your hair and secure it with a hair tie
- You can gently pull the braid from the sides for a tousled look
Sleek and Straight
Show off your long tresses with a stunning straight-hair look. This is a simple yet sexy date night look that lets you get ready in no time!
How To:
- Use a straightener to get your hair extra straight for this look
- Divide your hair into equal sections and use clips to keep hair out of the way
- Start near your roots and straighten in a single downward motion
- Use a dry shampoo if your hair looks oily (straight hairstyles can show oil more easily!)
Half Up Half Down
Instead of doing a full hair-up style, why not do a half up half down look? This way, you can really show off your ultra-lengthy locks.
- Section your hair into a top and bottom half using a comb or brush
- Gather your hair at your crown with the top section and secure it with a hair tie
- You can either leave this as a ponytail or braid it for the final look
