 How to curl your hair extensions: Crimping

Crimped hair was one of the biggest trends in hair and rose in mainstream popularity during the "highly fashionable" 80's. The best thing about hair crimping is that you don't even need a hair crimper to achieve this look - you can achieve the exact same look with a hair straightener!

1) Start the hair crimping process by braiding parts of your hair into three different braids and then tying them up with hair elastics. 

2) Then press your hair straightener (this may work best with a GHD)  onto the three braids you have just created and slide along as if you were straightening your hair. 

3) Remove all hair elastics and you will then have 80's style crimped hair!

How to curl hair extensions: Loose waves

Loose waves are a great hair style for that little-to-no-effort effect, creating a subtle head of loose curls perfect for this upcoming season. Loose curls or waves have been one of the most popular trends in hair as they are not too over the top but still cute and casual. We show you how to curl your hair extensions in the next few steps below!

1) Once again, all you need to achieve loose curls or waves is a hair straightener. Be sure to start your loose curls by applying a heat protector over your hair and also clipping or tying up sections of your hair that you will curl later. 

2) Start by taking a section of your hair and spraying it with hair spray to ensure it will stay in place while you are curling the other sections.

3) Clamp your hair straightener halfway down your hair and twist the section away from your face until you reach the ends of your hair. 

4) Keep in mind that the faster you slide down on your hair, the softer the curl will be. Pressing down slower on the section of hair will create a bigger and more defined curl.

5) You can then brush through your curled sections of hair with a soft bristled brush to create a looser, and fluffier head of curls.
