-
1Clip in your Luxy Hair extensions to add length and volume. Alexandra is wearing her 160g Dirty Blonde extensions in this video. Learn how to clip them in here.
-
2Create a deep part on your preferred side and split the hair at the part.
-
3Using a 1.5-inch curling wand, begin curling the side with less hair โ curl towards your face on this side.
-
4As you move to the other side (where the majority of hair is), curl away from your face to keep all curls flowing in the same direction. This gives that composed, glam waves effect. Here's another great curling tutorial โ
-
5Pro tip: When curling, blend sections of your natural hair and extensions together as you curl โ this ensures seamless blending throughout. If you have thin hair, this post on blending extensions with thin hair is worth a read.
-
6Once your whole head is curled, take a dense brush and do short strokes along the waves to blend everything together and smooth out the curls.
-
7Finish with hairspray. Done โ elegant, romantic, and works beautifully with almost any wedding dress style.
Wedding Hairstyle #2: Twisted Half-Up Hair
-
1If wearing extensions, stack two 1-clip wefts on top of each other and clip them in about 1 inch from your face and 1 inch above each ear โ one on each side. This keeps the wefts hidden while still giving you length and volume for the style. Learn more about clipping in extensions for different hairstyles โ
-
2Take a small section of hair on each side at the front (where you clipped in the wefts), twist each section back, and tie together with a clear elastic.
-
3Leave a few framing pieces at the front and curl them outward for an effortless look โ or twist all hair away from your face for a more polished finish.
-
4Add your favorite hair accessory at the back to hide the elastic and elevate the look. Alexandra used fresh flowers attached to bobby pins โ we're obsessed. For the most secure hold, use smaller flowers like baby's breath.
-
5Finish with hairspray for a long-lasting hold.
Wedding Hairstyle #3: Braided Bridal Hair
-
1If wearing extensions, stack all four of your 1-clip wefts on top of one another and clip them in on the side where the braid will be.
-
2Start a simple three-strand braid from the top of your head, adding small pieces of hair as you work down. Secure with a clear elastic.
-
3Pull the remaining hair to the side and create a second three-strand braid with half of what's left. Secure with a clear elastic.
-
4Create a third three-strand braid with the remaining hair and secure.
-
5Gently pull on each braid to add volume and fullness. Tie all three braids together at the bottom or use bobby pins that match your hair color to secure them in place.
-
6Optional: Add hair accessories or fresh flowers โ they look absolutely stunning woven into this style.
Not naturally blessed with long, thick hair? No problem โ clip-in extensions are the fastest and easiest way to get the length and volume you need for the hairstyle of your dreams, with zero damage.
