How to Create Highlights Using Hair Extensions: Instant Highlights

Want to change your look without permanent damage to your hair? Why not add some Instant highlights to your natural hair with ZALA Hair Extensions. Read on as we explore how to create instant highlights to your hair without the damaging effects of bleaches and dyes.

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.

Our gorgeous customer has achieved a more permanent highlighted look with our 20″ Tape In Extensions in the shade Honey Beach Highlights #18/613

 What you’ll need:

  • ZALA Tape in extensions in either a 40 pieces or 60 pieces: If your hair is fine, we would recommend 40 pieces, and if your hair is thick we recommend 60 pieces. Each tape in pack comes in 20 pieces, therefore depending on the look you are after, we encourage you to mix up the shades! Choose a shade that is a match to your hair colour, and a shade of your desired highlights. Depending on the density of your highlights that you are after, we would suggest 40 pieces of the shade that is closest to your hair, and 20 pieces of the highlighted shade.

24/7 Highlights Method:

Tape extensions are easily applied and you can view our application tutorial here:

However, why not book an appointment with a hairdresser that is trained to apply tape hair extensions. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy your 24/7 highlights.

Desk To Dinner Hairstyles

This chic Desk To Dinner Hairstyle is so elegant and playful! Make your co-workers and friends jealous of how good you will look with this super easy hairstyle!

What you will need:

First Step: With the soft bristle brush, begin by brushing your natural hair up like you are about to tie your hair in a super high ponytail. Whilst you have your hair secured in your hand, spray your hair with hairspray and quickly brush over it with the soft bristle brush again to ensure it’s shiny and smooth.

Second Step: Secure your hair in a high ponytail with a hair elastic.

Third Step: With your ZALA Clip In Ponytail, slide the comb underneath the hair elastic in your ponytail. Proceed to secure the velcro around your ponytail to ensure your ponytail does not slip or move throughout the day.

Fourth Step: With a couple of bobby pins, secure the wrap of hair, ensuring you conceal the velcro and hair elastic.

You can watch a helpful video tutorial here using our Clip In Ponytail:

What you’ll need:

First Step: Apply your ZALA Tape Or Clip in Extensions

Second Step: Curl your hair using the wide barrel attachment of the Cosmo Curling Wand 

Third Step: Using a tail comb, section off the top half of your hair and tie up in a ponytail. We would suggest brushing back your hair on the top half of your head to create a tight and pulled look.

Fourth Step: Conceal your hair elastic by using a section of hair from your ponytail and wrapping it around.

Fifth Step: Spray with hair spray to ensure curls hold throughout the day and night, giving you a perfect Desk To Dinner Hairstyle.
