Hair Extensions: Instant Highlights

How to create Instant Highlights

Wanting to change your hair but often suffer from commitment issues? Hair extensions are a great way to add highlights, lowlights and depth to your natural hair without the bleach.

Depending on the look you want to achieve and the length of time you want to have a highlighted look, the choice between Clip in Extensions and Tape In Extensions is simple.

INSTANT HIGHLIGHTS

Occasional Highlights with Clip In Extensions

ZALA Clip in Extensions offer easy to apply instant highlights if you are after an occasional look. The benefits of clip in extensions include that they can be worn for a specific event or daily.

@hair_gaga achieves instant highlights to her light brown hair by using our ZALA Sunkissed Highlights #10/613 clip in 9 piece set.

What you’ll need:

ZALA Clip In Extensions in either a 5 or 9 piece set depending on the thickness of your hair. Choose a ZALA shade which is 1-2 shades lighter than your hair, or combine 2 shades (one close to your hair and one the desired highlighted shade)
Sectioning clips
Tail comb
Cosmo Curling Wand

Occasional Highlights Method:

First Step: Part your hair with a tail comb and secure with sectioning clips.

Second Step: Apply your clip in extensions throughout your hair for an evenly distributed look

Third Step: To achieve a curly look like @hair_gaga, curl your hair with your Cosmo Curling Wand.

Fourth Step: Enjoy your instantly highlighted, thick and long hair!

Apply your clip in extensions where desired for a customisable look.
