For a simple yet elegant look that stays discreet whilst giving a boost to a Mother Of The Bride mane, we decided to craft this clever set of soft, relaxed waves to add a dash of colour on top of extra fullness, bounce and movement ā with the help of Classic Full Head Clip In Hair Extensions in shade: Silver Grey.Ā
Are you ready to achieve the perfect waves for a big day by using clip-in extensions? Look no further than this post! Follow this step-by-step guide to recreate this gorgeous, romantic hairdo in no time.
Step 1: Spritz with Heat Protect Spray
Before applying any heat to your hair, make sure you protect it with a generous dose of heat protectant spray. This will help to minimise any damage from heat-based styling tools. Spritz your hair with a heat protectant spray evenly from root to tip whilst you prep your tools.
Step 2: Smooth Hair Out
Next, use a comb to smooth out any knots or tangles in your hair. This will make it easier to apply the clip-in extensions and create a smooth base for your styling.
Step 3: Section The Hair Ready for Styling and Clip-In Application
Divide your hair into neat sections using styling clips. Start by creating your first section at the bottom, on the nape of your neck and work your way up from there; this will make it easier for you to apply the clip-in hair extensions on your hair evenly, thus ensuring that your waves and curls will be evenly distributed.
Step 4: Start At The NeckĀ
Start applying the clip-in extensions at the nape of your neck, working your way up in neat, horizontal rows. Each row should be about three fingers thick; to ensure that the clip-ins stay in place, backcomb slightly before attaching the clip-ins. You could also use some texturising powder on the backcombed roots to have an even stronger grip.
Step 5: Curl Hair And Extensions TogetherĀ
Now that the clip-in extensions are in place, it's time to start working on those beautiful waves. Use a medium barrel curling iron to curl the hair and the extensions together, making sure they curl in the same direction. Repeat this process on each strand; you can use styling clip to create smaller sections for a tidier procedure.
Step 6: Leave To Cool for 10-15 Minutes
After curling the hair, leave it to cool down for around 10-15 minutes. This will help the curls to set and hold their shape for longer; after all, a wedding celebration is a long ceremony, and our designated Mother Of The Bride doesnāt really have time to refresh her waves. Therefore, weāll need to have patience and let the curls sit for a while. This is the optimal time to have some coffee and catch up on your emails or unread messages!
Step 7: Use A Wide Toothed Wave Comb
Once the curls have cooled down, use a wide-toothed wave comb to gently glide through your hair and open the curls; for a more natural, beachy look, use your hands to spread the waves out, making them bouncier and voluminous.
Step 8: Finish With Hairspray to Hold the Style
Finally, youāll need to make sure that the hairstyle will have maximum hold ā you can easily achieve this by finishing things off with a light mist of hairspray to keep things in place. Make sure you choose a hairspray that is lightweight and flexible, so it doesn't weigh your hair down or make it look crunchy ā weāre all about natural and authentic this year.
