Let's explore how to achieve some of the most iconic hairstyles from the movies using clip in hair extensions and more!

Barbie

This doll has rocked some seriously iconic hairstyles throughout the decades, and Margot Robbie is no exception to this, taking Barbie to the big screen last July. One of our favourite hairstyles from the blockbuster movie is without a doubt her pretty half up half down hairstyle with curtain bangs and a baby pink bow. If youā€™re looking for the same amount of volume, body and lustrous length, then our double drawn, seamless clip in extensions will be perfect for you when recreating barbie hairstyles, available in a variety of rich, textured shades, including Barbie Blonde. Add a clip-in fringe for the final touch!

The Little Mermaid

Halle Baileyā€™s portrayal of Ariel in The Little Mermaid brought a modern twist to the classic Disney character. Her stunning, traditional locs, styled by Oscar-nominated hair genius Camille Friend, had a beachy, lived-in quality that made waves on and off screen. If you're inspired by Halle's look, consider adding streaks of red throughout your hair using clip-in top-up pieces for a more subtle, yet striking effect, or explore our entire redhead collection for a fiery hair colour that looks and feels natural, with the quality and longevity of Remy hair extensions.

Clueless

Queen of the bombshell blowout, Cher Horowitzā€™ perfectly coiffed warm, honey blonde tresses are synonymous with iconic 90s fashion. To achieve the ultimate bouncy blow-dry, youā€™ll want to ensure your extensions are hydrated properly using our Quench The Thirst haircare collection. Before styling, be sure to apply a few spritzes of our heat protectant spray before taking a round brush and hairdryer, or alternatively a heated roller brush, curlers or an air wrap to craft your perfect blow-dry.

Aquamarine

In true mermaid fashion, blue hues are everywhere to be seen this summer. Sara Paxtonā€™s long icy blonde locks in Aquamarine become unruly mermaid waves filled with bright, electric blue streaks. You too can emulate this look with our statement blue extensions from our Funky Shades collection. This daring, streaky hairstyle was highly popular during the early 2000s and made headway again during the dip-dye and balayage hype of the 2010s, with many people constantly experimenting with different colours and applying equally bold and bronzed makeup to match. With our clip-in extensions, you can add that same splash of colour to your locks without the commitment, giving you the freedom to experiment with new styles.

Sex and The City

This classy Carrie Bradshaw-inspired look is set to stay in place throughout long summer days. To achieve these cascading curls, start by applying our heat protectant spray to freshly washed and dried hair, before sectioning your hair with our alligator clips. Next, use a curling iron on medium heat to wrap sections of the hair around the wand and create your dream head of curls by letting each one drop and release gently into the palm of your hand. Finish by gently combing them through with your fingers and applying curl cream to add extra ā€˜oomphā€™ and hold to your locks. @hollyjaiā€Ærecreates this iconic look using our 18" Seamless Clip Ins in shade Hazelnut Brondie to add lots of volume to her curls.
