1. Top Holiday Hairstyles with Hair Extensions

Beachy Waves
Beachy waves are a classic holiday hairstyle that never goes out of style. They’re effortless, chic, and perfect for any beach or poolside setting.

How to Achieve Beachy Waves:
Prep Your Hair: Start with clean, dry hair. Apply a heat protectant spray to protect your hair from damage.
Section Your Hair: Divide your hair into sections to make the curling process easier.
Curl Your Hair: Using a curling wand, curl small sections of hair away from your face. Hold the curl for a few seconds before releasing.
Blend Extensions: If you’re using clip-in extensions, curl them separately and blend them with your natural hair.
Finish with Texture Spray: Use a texturizing spray to add volume and hold the waves. Scrunch your hair with your hands to create a natural, beachy look.

Braided Crown
A braided crown is an elegant and practical hairstyle that keeps your hair off your face while adding a touch of sophistication. This style is perfect for sightseeing, dinners, and special events.

How to Create a Braided Crown:
Section Your Hair: Part your hair down the middle and divide it into two sections.
Braid Each Section: Create a simple three-strand braid on each side, securing the ends with a small elastic band.
Position the Braids: Lift one braid over your head like a headband and pin it in place with bobby pins. Repeat with the other braid, tucking the ends under the first braid.
Blend with Extensions: If using clip-in extensions, add them before braiding to ensure a fuller look.
Set with Hairspray: Finish with a light-hold hairspray to keep the braids in place.

High Ponytail
A high ponytail is a sleek and versatile hairstyle that works for any occasion, from casual day trips to glamorous nights out. It’s also a great way to keep your hair off your neck in hot weather.

Steps to Create a High Ponytail:
Prep Your Hair: Brush your hair to remove any tangles. Apply a smoothing serum if needed.
Gather Your Hair: Pull your hair up into a high ponytail, securing it with a strong hair tie.
Add Extensions: For added volume, wrap a weft of clip-in extensions around the base of the ponytail, securing it with bobby pins.
Smooth and Style: Use a fine-tooth comb to smooth any bumps. You can also wrap a small section of hair around the base of the ponytail to hide the hair tie.
Finish with Hairspray: Apply a light mist of hairspray to keep your ponytail in place.

Messy Bun
The messy bun is a go-to holiday hairstyle that is both stylish and practical. It’s perfect for those days when you want a laid-back look without sacrificing style.
How to Achieve a Messy Bun:
Prep Your Hair: Start with second-day hair or add some dry shampoo for texture.
Create a Ponytail: Pull your hair into a high or mid-level ponytail, securing it with a hair tie.
Add Extensions: If you want a fuller bun, clip in a few wefts of hair extensions around the ponytail.
Twist and Wrap: Twist the ponytail and wrap it around the base to create a bun. Secure with bobby pins.
Loosen and Style: Gently pull on sections of the bun to create a messy, undone look. Let a few strands fall around your face for a soft, romantic feel.
Finish with Hairspray: Use a flexible-hold hairspray to keep the bun in place without making it look too stiff.

Half-Up, Half-Down
The half-up, half-down hairstyle is a beautiful way to showcase your hair extensions while keeping some hair off your face. It’s ideal for both casual outings and dressier occasions.

 

Steps to Create a Half-Up, Half-Down Style:
Section Your Hair: Divide the top half of your hair from the bottom half, securing the top section with a clip.
Add Extensions: Clip in extensions to the bottom half of your hair for added length and volume.
Style the Top Section: Release the top section and gather it into a small ponytail or bun, securing it with a hair tie or bobby pins.
Curl or Straighten: Style the bottom section as desired, either curling or straightening the hair.
Add Accessories: Enhance the look with decorative hairpins or a headband.

Fishtail Braid
A fishtail braid is a unique and eye-catching hairstyle that works well for any holiday activity. It looks intricate but is surprisingly easy to do.
How to Create a Fishtail Braid:
Prep Your Hair: Brush your hair to remove tangles. Apply a small amount of styling cream for hold.
Divide Hair into Two Sections: Unlike a traditional braid, a fishtail braid uses only two sections.
Begin Braiding: Take a small piece of hair from the outside of the left section and cross it over to the right section. Repeat on the other side, taking a small piece from the right and crossing it over to the left.
Continue Braiding: Continue this pattern until you reach the end of your hair. Secure with a hair tie.
Loosen the Braid: Gently pull on sections of the braid to loosen it and create a fuller look.
Blend Extensions: For added length and volume, clip in extensions before starting the braid.

Loose Curls
Loose curls are a timeless and romantic hairstyle that’s perfect for holiday evenings or special dinners. They add volume and movement to your hair, creating a glamorous look.

How to Achieve Loose Curls:
Prep Your Hair: Apply a heat protectant spray to dry hair.
Section Your Hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections.
Curl Your Hair: Use a large-barrel curling iron to curl each section, holding the iron vertically and curling away from your face.

Blend Extensions: Curl the extensions separately and blend them with your natural hair.
Brush Out Curls: Gently brush through the curls with a paddle brush to create soft waves.
Finish with Hairspray: Use a light-hold hairspray to set the curls.

2. Tips for Maintaining Hair Extensions on Holiday

To ensure your hair extensions look fabulous throughout your holiday, follow these maintenance tips:

Pack the Essentials

Bring a travel-sized brush, dry shampoo, and a light-hold hairspray. These will help you maintain your hairstyles and keep your extensions looking fresh.

Avoid Salt and Chlorine Damage. If you plan to swim in the ocean or pool, avoid getting your extensions wet as saltwater and chlorine can cause damage. If you do get them wet, rinse thoroughly with fresh water and apply a leave-in conditioner.

Protect Your Hair from the Sun

Prolonged sun exposure can cause hair extensions to fade and dry out. Wear a hat or scarf to protect your hair from UV rays.

Gentle Detangling
Always brush your extensions gently, starting from the ends and working your way up to the roots. Use a wide-tooth comb or a brush designed for extensions to prevent breakage.

Secure Extensions at Night
Before going to bed, secure your hair in a loose braid or ponytail to prevent tangling while you sleep.
