Using Extensions To Create Stunning Up-Do's

nicoleritchie_hairextensions_1To create a cute pony-tail with clip-in extensions, try fitting the bottom rows upside-down. This enables you to sweep them upwards without creating any unsightly bumps or visible clips. You can fit the top rows as normal or, for a 60's sex kitten look as seen on Nicole Ritchie, try back combing the top of your own hair then smoothing a comb over it to create a volume ‘bump' over your top extension rows.

This style will work just as well on bonded weft extensions, just be careful to brush your own hair back over the bonded areas (this may be easier if you make the pony-tail at mid-head level) and secure with hairspray.

If you want to create a complete up-do, try making a ponytail, then coil and pin strands of your hair around and over the band. This can be as sexily ‘mussed-up' or as neat as you like. You can even try attaching clip-ins along vertical partings down the sides of your head instead of horizontally, sweeping them back to create smooth-sided styles such as chignons without having to worry about visible attachment points. Get creative, use your imagination and with a little bit of practice you can create practically any style using extensions!

Many women love the look of long, straight or curly hair, but worry that extensions are impractical or lack versatility. Luckily this is a complete myth, as extensions can be used to create practical ponytails and stunning up-do's provided you have a few tricks up your sleeve.
