When it comes to women country music artists, hair isn't just hair. It's an essential part of their stage-ready spectacle. Dolly Parton's sky-high volume and cascade of golden curls was the cornerstone of female country singers and is a central part of their identity. So, as we saddle up for a Cowgirl Summer, it's only right that we talk tresses. These six hairstyles inspired by our favourite country queens are not just for concerts or music videos – they're for real-life rodeos, festivals, and TikTok-worthy two-steps. From tousled waves to playful pigtails, we’re breaking down how to get each look and how hair extensions can take your mane game to the main stage!
Lainey Wilson: Braids That Mean Business
If female country music singers had a hall of fame, then Lainey Wilson is their most exciting newcomer. To recreate Lainey's braids, start with a deep centre part. Prep your hair with a moisturising spray to remove any frizz, then loosely braid each side, allowing soft strands to frame your face. Add extra flair with a Stetson hat or some cute colourful ribbons to complete your cowgirl outfit. Want Lainey’s inches and fullness? Our Seamless Clip In Hair Extensions offer a natural finish that blends beautifully with your own hair. They're ideal for braids and won't tug or show. Shade-wise, you should opt for highlights or balayage for that sun-kissed, southern glow – or even Cowgirl Copper if you want to stay on brand.
Megan Moroney: Curls Just Wanna Have Fun
Megan Moroney’s ringlets are as defined as her songwriting. These springy spirals are unapologetically brimming with texture, making them perfect for cowgirl hair. To get Megan’s signature curls, use a small-barrel curling iron and curl small sections tightly from root to tip. Gently separate the curls with your fingers once they’ve cooled and finish with a hydrating curl cream. If your hair is naturally curly and you’re craving more length and volume, our Curly Clip Ins are your backstage pass to bombshell coils with a natural curl pattern.
Carrie Underwood: Soft Waves That Slay
Carrie Underwood may sing about heartbreak, but her hair is all about the romance. For soft, angelic waves, start with clean and heat protected hair before blow drying. Next, use a large barrel curling iron to create loose waves, alternating curl direction for a natural feel. Brush them out with a wave comb and add shine spray for that Nashville sparkle. Pro tip: Clip in our human hair extensions in layers or add One Piece Clip Ins to build body. This will give your waves that touch of “I just got back from horse-riding”. Pair it with a suede fringe jacket and some rhinestone cowboy boots and you're good to go!
Kacey Musgraves: Retro Realness
Kacey Musgraves knows how to mix tradition with trend, and nothing says retro like a bandana moment. Worn over straight locks or manicured waves, this look pays homage to country singers of the past like the queen of Gibson herself, Mary Ford. It’s giving flying down the motorway in your dream pickup truck. To perfect this country core style, start by straightening your hair for Kasey’s sleekness, before crafting your waves with some retro heatless rollers. Once wavy, part your locks in the middle or off-centre and tie a patterned scarf or bandana snugly over your crown, knotting it at the nape or off to the side. Secure discreetly with small bobby pins if you’re afraid it might slip off mid-line dance. If scarves aren’t your thing, invest in a cute cowboy hat. Want that instant length and smoothness? Our Double Weft Clip-In Hair Extensions and silky spray will give you that glass-hair finish.
Shania Twain: Crimped and Iconic
Shania doesn’t just impress us much – she completely revolutionised the country glam rulebook. Her long, crimped locks from the 90s are making a fierce comeback, and she still rocks them on stage now. To achieve this throwback fantasy, section your hair with alligator clips and use a crimping iron from root to tip. For modern drama, keep the roots smoother and let the crimping start just above the cheekbone. Finish with a medium hold hairspray to keep your crimped extensions intact throughout the day and into the night. If you’re looking for a more permanent solution and want to have Shania’s waist-length tresses all summer long – no problem. Our permanent extensions will give you that star-studded length for weeks at a time!
Beyonce: Bouncy Blowout
Now this is a hairstyle that even Jolene would envy. Queen Bey has been living her best life on the Cowboy Carter tour recently, and apparently so has her hair. The global superstar’s country music era is the crossover we didn’t know we needed, and her big, bouncy blowout is nothing short of fabulous. To get the look, use a round brush and hair dryer to lift from the roots, smoothing each section as you go. For extra bounce, use rollers while the hair is still warm, then let them cool completely. Once you brush them out, cue the wind machine. For extra oomph, our Ultra Volume Clip Ins will do the trick, especially if you already have thick tresses. To finish, tease your crown with a pintail comb to add Dolly-worthy height.
