How to make a hairstyle using artificial hair. We do hairstyles with false hair on clips. How and when to use false curls

Unfortunately, not every girl can boast of lush and voluminous hair: those whom nature has deprived of a beautiful mane can do their hair with false hair on clips.

False strands on hairpins are no longer something unusual lately, and many girls choose such hairstyle options for celebrations, weddings, evening outings, and just for every day.

Specialists sometimes call such false strands on hairpins temporary extensions.

False hair extensions can be individual strands, whole ponytails, braids, bangs. They are attached to the base of the hair with a special clip.

False strands merge with the bulk of the curls; the main thing is to choose the color, structure and look well.

They can be straight, slightly wavy or curly.

As for color, almost every girl will be able to choose false strands to match her tone (see photo).

You can choose strands that are a couple of tones lighter or darker, then the hairstyle with false curls will have a highlighting effect.

False strands are made from both natural and artificial materials.

Natural hair extensions look very beautiful, they can be washed, like your own curls, combed, styled, twisted and straightened.

You cannot do this with artificial material. The type of synthetic options directly depends on their cost: the cheaper they are, the worse and more unnatural they look, and their service life is shorter.

The strands are sold both individually and in whole sets, which can be of different volumes - 120, 160 and 220 grams.

How and when are extensions used?

Clip-on locks are an excellent solution for those who have naturally short or thin hair.

If you learn how to use curls with clips correctly, you can create wonderful hairstyles both for every day and for special occasions.

This is a great alternative to extensions, as the clips can be removed and put on any time you need it.

Strands on hairpins are an excellent field for experimenting with unusual hairstyles. For example, you can choose curls in a bright contrasting color and create an extraordinary look.

A long, smooth ponytail of strands on top of your head will help you transform into a business girl.

Long, slightly curled extensions would be appropriate as an evening hairstyle. You can temporarily change your look with false bangs, as in the photo.

The extensions are attached to the head using a clip-on hairpin, which holds tightly to natural curls and is completely invisible in the mass of hair.

Hair extensions are very light, so their use does not cause discomfort. On sale there are both individual strands and entire sets, which include narrow and wide curls.

To attach extensions, lift the top layer of hair and secure with bobby pins.

Carefully attach the clips to the hanging part of the hair, first at the back of the head, and then at the temples. Now lower the previously pinned part of your hair and comb it.

If you naturally have straight and smooth curls, then in order for the extension strands to stick well to them and not fly off, comb them a little in the place where the clips will be attached.

Hairstyles with extensions are very diverse, we invite you to get acquainted with several of the most common options.

Greek hairstyle

This hairstyle with extensions will be an excellent option for special occasions, and can also become part of a wedding look, as an addition to an empire style dress.

To create a hairstyle, the hair is divided into two parts using side partings. The upper part is lifted up and secured. Now, under this separated part, tresses are attached with hairpins.

If you want your hairstyle to have a very long tail, you can attach an additional strand. To do this, a thin braid is braided from behind, onto which a strand is twisted and secured with clips.

Now you need to separate a small curl on the right side and curl it.

It should be borne in mind that artificial strands cannot be processed with a hot curling iron, so if you buy artificial hair, then give preference to curled options.

The curled curl is wrapped back and secured with bobby pins to the head, and the tip is left to hang down. Next, three more strands are separated in the same way, curled and secured in the same way.

Take one strand, curl it, lay it back and attach it to the last pinned strand at the back.

Now make three curl rings from the remaining curls and secure them with bobby pins above the main part. The curls should be directed in different directions.

At the end of styling, the ponytail is curled beautifully. The curls should be curled from the bottom up, the curls should be secured with a clip until they cool down.

Braids and braids with extensions

Hairstyles with false hair on clips can be very diverse. For example, you can braid hair extensions into a tight, voluminous braid.

The resulting weave is attached with bobby pins over your hair from temple to temple to form a kind of headband.

You can leave the bulk of your hair loose, curling it a little, or you can make a bun, shell, or other styling.

The dream of luxurious, long curls led to the invention of such a useful accessory as false strands on hairpins. After attaching natural or artificial strands, the hairstyle gains volume and additional length.

False strands or tresses allow you to change your look in half an hour. Original styling can be done at least every day without harm to the hair. It's easy to create hairstyles with clip-in extensions for everyday use. For evening styling, additional strands are simply irreplaceable.

The clips are matched to the color of your hair and hold securely. It is very difficult to accidentally pull off attached strands.

Everyday hairstyles with additional strands on clips

The easiest option is to leave your hair unstyled after attaching the tresses. Long straight strands are a decoration in themselves.

Natural hair can be curled; this operation cannot be performed with artificial material. Synthetic hairs will melt under high temperature.

It's easy to create an interesting hairstyle. Add a few narrow strips of a lighter shade to your natural curls: you get highlighting.

Sleek ponytail

Your task is to buy an extension ponytail of the desired length. The finished ponytail should match the texture of natural hair.

Step-by-step instruction:

• gather your hair into a high ponytail on the top of the head or closer to the back of the head, securely secure with an elastic band;
• use a hairpin to attach the artificial tail to your natural one;
• It’s easy to hide the attachment point: separate one natural strand, wrap it around an elastic band, and secure the tip of the hair with a bobby pin.

Important! Styling is suitable not only for everyday life. For a festive evening, choose strands of maximum length, create a perfectly smooth ponytail or curl your curls from natural material. An evening hairstyle with a pulled ponytail will show the beauty of an open back in a luxurious dress.

Original braids

Depending on the weaving technique, it is easy to create a classic or original braid from new curls.

A smooth braid is an everyday option, while a braid made of soft curls is an excellent look for a celebration.

See how different weaving can be with additional curls. For wedding styling, this option is one of the most popular.

Options for evening and formal styling

In addition to the original waist-length braids, there are other looks for a festive event. Pay attention to popular options.

Luxurious curls

Curls of different sizes emphasize femininity and the beauty of hair. When choosing the perfect additional strands with invisible clips, no one will guess that the real length is three times shorter than your luxurious curls.

Leave your curls loose, gather them to one side, and make a low side ponytail. Lush, delicate styling is a great look for a bride. Wedding hairstyles with tresses are at the peak of popularity.

Perfect tail

The stages of creating fashionable styling are described above. For celebrations, false strands can be straight or curled. Focus on your taste, general image, quality of hair.

Are your locks a little frizzy? Make a fluffy top and an equally soft, voluminous tail. The original decor will complement the image.

Greek hairstyle

Exquisite, delicate styling suits many representatives of the fair sex. With a fashionable hairstyle you will be irresistible. A feminine look, a light dress in the Greek style, beautifully styled hair, and delicate makeup will certainly attract attention to you.

Transforming into a Greek goddess is easy:

• attach new curls to the main body of hair using standard technology;
• put a beautiful headband with an elastic band on your head;
• Use a comb to separate strips of curls, tuck them one by one under the accessory;
• Take the first strands from the sides, gradually move towards the middle;
• create a sufficiently voluminous roller, straighten it, lightly spray with varnish;
• attach decor - delicate flowers, hairpins with pearls or rhinestones at the end;
• leave a few curls in the temple area: this will make the image more feminine and sweet.

Note! Greek hairstyle is suitable for a romantic date, special event, prom and wedding. Choose decor that matches the overall style of your holiday outfit. Make sure that the bandage does not put pressure on your head.

The better the quality of the accessory, the easier it is to handle. Slavic type hair with a dense structure, sufficient softness, natural shine, and high quality hairs is especially valued. There are cheaper options, but the stingy, as we know, most often overpays.

Remember the rules for caring for tresses:

• wash the strands in warm water using a special shampoo. Dissolve the composition in a bowl of water, lower the parts of the “new hair”, rinse for a third of an hour;
• hang clean curls so that they drain and dry completely naturally;
• Carefully comb the dried accessories with a wide-toothed comb, hang them up or put them in a large box. Many girls store their tresses on a hanger, making special hooks from soft wire to attach each strand;
• Feel free to curl your natural hairs, straighten them, spray them with hairspray, or roll them with curlers. Artificial hairs will not withstand such manipulations: hot styling will instantly turn a luxurious curl into a sticky, melted mass.

Now you know how to do a casual and evening hairstyle using extensions with clips. An affordable, effective technique allows you to do without visiting a beauty salon. Buy a set of additional curls, and you can easily create a fashionable hairstyle, lengthen your hair, and give your hair luxurious volume.

Types of false hair

Synthetic hair is an excellent replacement for extensions. This is especially convenient because they can be removed as quickly as they are attached.

There are several categories of false strands:

• Made from natural hair. They are distinguished by their high cost and high quality. The texture is silky, soft, they can be washed, curled and straightened. They can also be dyed with regular hair dye.
• Artificial strands. This is synthetic and costs much less than natural hair. The palette of shades is huge!
• Mixed look, including both natural and synthetic hair. Currently, it is rapidly going out of production.

Naturally, strands consisting of natural hair are the best - they are easy to heat treat, wash, and are completely invisible in your hair. But synthetics are also widely used, moreover, the look of hairstyles with their addition is gorgeous.

Braiding with false strands is widely used - for everyday wear, in wedding hairstyles, for prom hairstyles.

What is Kanekalon?

It is clear that braiding with false hair was invented a very long time ago. This is an indispensable attribute of the Greeks and people with dark skin with their Afro braids. It was the dark-skinned population of the planet that introduced the fashion for braiding with the addition of artificial hair.

Kanekalon is an artificially created fiber that closely resembles human hair. High quality fibers are indistinguishable to the eye from real hair. By adding artificial curls to your hair, you can add volume. The composition of the fibers is completely safe and does not cause harm.

Used by dark-skinned people for a long time, but real popularity came only after white celebrities borrowed such hairstyles.

Kanekalon strands are great for creating hairstyles. The inventors of this material are the Japanese; they make it from acrylic and algae.

There are several varieties of Kanekalon:

• Single-colored hair in strands.
• Ombre effect - several shades, smoothly transitioning into one another.
• Chameleon hair that changes color in the sun.
• Strands glowing in ultraviolet light.

There are also differences in length - the longer the strand, the higher its mass.

Dark Kanekalon is woven into light hair and vice versa, it looks very impressive! Bright braids with artificial hair are suitable for teenagers or for parties, and for everyday wear, in the office, choose natural shades that match your natural hair.

In order to determine the quality of the fiber, it must be immersed in boiling water. The sight of wet hair will confirm that this is a good product. Otherwise, the strand should curl.

Weaving braids with artificial hair is suitable for almost any hair, the only condition is that their length should not be less than 9 cm.

There is a rule - the shorter the natural hair, the greater the number of braids that will need to be braided. In this case, the artificial hair will adhere better.

A variety of hairstyles using artificial strands

Hairdressing art does not stand still, and many weaves have been invented. These include:

• Dreadlocks are tangled strands of hair.
• Zizi braids are a variety of thin, wavy braids that are ideal for thin, thin hair.
• Afro braids are a mass of thin and tight spikelets all over the head, turning into a braid.
• French braids are a reverse braided spikelet.
• Spikelets, fish tails.
• Tail with a braid.
• Formal hairstyles, including braids with artificial hair.

As you can see, the choice is great.

How to weave hair extensions into a braid?

If the natural volume of the hairstyle leaves much to be desired, then various tricks come into play...

So how do you weave hair extensions into your hair?

Artificial strands combine wonderfully with your own hair when weaving braids from them. They can be woven into a braid or used as a separate accessory and secured with pins in the hairstyle. For example, in the form of a headband - for this you need to take a false strand and braid it with a braid. Next, simply secure it with hairpins under your hair on the parietal part.

Before weaving extensions into your natural hair, carefully secure them at the roots. Comb and smooth the strands with a wide-toothed comb, and only then create braids from the entire mass of hair - one, two, a regular or French spikelet, tight or openwork - it all depends on your imagination.

Using braids with artificial hair, you can create different options for voluminous hairstyles.

French braiding

• Before starting work, you need to comb your own strands and synthetic hair very carefully.
• Next, separate the strand and lightly comb it. Attach the extensions here using a bobby pin. Comb everything together again.
• Select three strands above the attached hair - this is the beginning of the weave.
• Now braid the braid in the usual way, grabbing both your own and artificial curls and making sure that the place of fixation is hidden by the hair.
• In the place where your natural length ends, the curls can be lightly coated with hair gel so that the ends do not stick out in different directions and spoil the appearance of the braid. Although, if you want to make it disheveled and lacy, these tips will only add to the effect.
• Secure with an elastic band and lightly spray with hairspray.

The hairstyle is ready!

In this way, you can make several options: a tight, dense braid - for everyday wear, and a braid with soft, tousled curls - for special occasions.

Weavings with the addition of artificial hair are varied. They are very popular in wedding hairstyles.

Ponytail braided into a braid

Sometimes, strands of hair extensions are used to add length to one's hair. To do this, comb all the curls smoothly up and secure them with a tight elastic band. She must keep her tail very well in its designated place, otherwise it will simply move away from the weight. Now attach an artificial strand to the front of the ponytail and hide the attachment point under a decorative hairpin. Divide your hair into three parts and braid it loosely. Use an elastic band to secure it in the desired place.

This hairstyle will be an ideal option for every day because of its convenience and practicality.

Colored braids

More recently, African and boxer braids, especially with colored hair, and even for daily wear, would have been considered crazy. But time does not stand still, and fashion dictates its terms. Very often, completely regardless of their clothing style (with jeans and sneakers, a tutu skirt, a romantic dress), girls wear false colored braids. And for summer with its heat, beaches, swimming, joy, this is an excellent option!

Boxer braids

There is a strong belief that two boxer braids with colored strands are a universal hairstyle, but this is still not the case.

Such weaving will pull back all the hair, so every flaw will become obvious. A square face shape, a large nose, large ears, acne, scars - all these imperfections will become more noticeable. The shape of the head is also important - such braids go very tightly along it, outlining the shape.

Girls with an oval face shape, high cheekbones, and large eyes can afford this hairstyle.

But for everyone else, such weaving is also possible, because expressionless facial features are easily transformed by competent makeup.

If you have bangs, it is better to weave them into a braid - let your forehead be open.

Caring for braids with extensions

How long this hairstyle can last on you depends on various nuances. Of course, if the braids are braided tightly, they will last longer.

Also, the time of wearing braids with artificial strands directly depends on their number - the more there are, the longer they will retain their appearance.

At night you need to put a net or scarf on your hair.

A visit to the sauna, swimming pool, or beach significantly spoils the hairstyle - contact with water will cause the hair to become frizzy, and the braids will lose their original appearance.

Wash your hair no more than once a week. Do not apply shampoo directly to your hair. It’s better to lather it with a sponge and then massage the root zone. Rinse off carefully. Also, do not rub with a towel - just get wet.

Hair is dried in air, without a hair dryer.

After you undo your braids, don’t be alarmed by the excessive hair loss - this is the hair that could not fall out when collected.

Proper care of hair extensions

To maintain the quality of the strands (no matter whether they are natural or artificial), it is necessary to care for them. By the way, the higher quality the hair, the easier it is.

Natural strands are not afraid of various manipulations - curling, straightening with irons, curlers, but for artificial ones (if it is not thermal hair) this is unacceptable!

The tresses should be washed with warm water using shampoos and conditioners. To do this, dilute the product in water and gently rinse your hair without tangling it. Treat with conditioner - it will eliminate static electricity, rinse thoroughly and dry in an upright position.

After this, comb it very carefully and put it in a storage case. Often such curls are kept on hangers.
