Nothing says fall chic quite like a messy side braid. Start by adding loose, beachy waves to your clip in hair extensions to ramp up the texture. You can create these waves with a curling iron, but remember, always spritz our heat protection spray on both your natural hair and extensions first to keep them looking their best. After curling, finger-comb through to get a soft, tousled look and gather your hair to one side for a relaxed, carefree braid. This hairstyle is perfect for anyone wearing clip in extensions, as you can easily disguise any extension seams within the braid. Pair with a fluffy, knitted hat and cute scarf!
2. High Ponytail with Loose Curls
A high ponytail with loose curls is the ultimate blend of cute and practical. It’s playful, adds a bit of glam, and stays securely in place as you run around in the autumn air. To achieve this look, curl our Wrap Around Ponytail in large sections for soft, voluminous curls. This style is ideal as it shows off the full length and body of the extensions, giving your ponytail extra drama, while also leaving room for a knitted headband, keeping you warm without sacrificing style. And for a finishing touch? Don’t forget to secure and smooth it all with a touch of Moisturising Silky Spray. There’s nothing more disappointing than watching your curls go frizzy in the damp autumn air, especially after all that styling effort!
3. Boho Half-Up Half-Down
For the girl who lives for all things autumn, including long walks, coffee houses, comfy sweaters and cosy evenings scrolling through Pinterest, the boho half-up half-down look is the ultimate autumn look. Begin by gathering the top half of your hair and creating a relaxed bun or braid, letting the rest flow down in loose, cascading waves. If you’re wearing our human hair extensions, this is the perfect way to show them off, adding gorgeous length and volume. This look is a serious autumn favourite, especially if you’re heading to a firework show or outdoor gathering and want a fuss-free hairstyle. The half-up bun keeps your tresses out of your face while letting your extensions take centre stage.
4. Natural Waves with a Cute Hat
When it comes to hairstyles with hats, there’s something about pairing curls or waves with them that looks super cute every time. This is especially true with curly hairstyles with hats that feature clip-in hair extensions. For a heatless version of this style, delicately plait your hair overnight to unravel natural waves in the morning. Alternatively, use a hair waver or curling iron on a medium heat to create tousled, loose waves or curls that’ll peek perfectly from under any hat, before brushing them out a little to add softness. This look works wonderfully with all types of hats – think wide-brimmed for a touch of sass, or a slouchy beanie for a relaxed vibe. Don’t forget to keep our nourishing silky spray on hand, especially if you’re working with permanent hair extensions, as curls and cold weather can be a bit drying. A quick application will keep your waves defined and frizz-free, even in chilly bonfire weather.
5. Braided Updo
For those who want to go a little outside the box with their style, the braided updo is an enchanting autumn hairstyle that’s perfect for firework night and can be decorated with leafy, floral accessories. Begin by sectioning off the back of the hair into two sections, gather the first into a messy bun before wrapping around a loose section of the hair. Use the other half to create a braid running through the crowd of the head into the bun at the nape of the neck. Keep the updo in place with bobby pins to create a a crown-like effect that’s half princess, half free spirit, giving the entire look an autumnal fairytale feeling.
Tips for Protecting Your Hair and Extensions in Autumn
Don’t forget to give your hair and clip in or permanent extensions a little extra love in the colder months with an autumn haircare routine. Cooler weather often means drier hair, so keep your locks hydrated with our hydrating haircare range, including our Deep Moisture Shampoo, Conditioner and Hair Mask. Remember that heat protection spray is essential whenever styling, especially with human hair extensions.
For those of you with clip in extensions, removing and caring for them regularly, particularly before showering and sleeping, will help prevent any dryness or tangling and matting, especially when venturing out into the chilly air. And as always, avoid over-washing as it tends to dry out both your natural locks and your extensions.
As autumn weather can be unpredictable, proper haircare in colder weather is essential to ensure your favourite extensions and accessories last. Store autumn accessories like velvet and fabric scrunchies and headbands in breathable bags to avoid dust buildup and keep metal clips and pins dry to prevent tarnishing.
