We LOVE half up styles for the weekend! Especially this effortless half up topknot. Simply use your fingers to section off the top of your hair at above the brow. This doesn’t have to be neat as the look is super relaxed. Secure this in a topknot and pull out pieces of hair from the front to frame your face. You can leave the look here, but we think it’s only complete with a set of ZALA Hair Extensions in 20 or 24 inches.

How to Blend Hair Extensions with Thick Hair

Wanting to add length to your naturally thick hair, but struggling blending your hair extensions? Never fear! Our guide on how to blend hair extensions with thick hair will have everyone thinking those long locks are all your own.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT HAIR EXTENSIONS

HAIR QUALITY

First things first, it’s important to consider the type of hair extensions you are using. The best hair extensions to blend with thick hair are no doubt 100% Human Remy Hair Extensions! Not only are these completely safe to style, they provide a super natural finish as the cuticles are intact and aligned in the same direction. This mimics the look of your natural hair, making the extensions undetectable once applied.

THICKNESS

Ever noticed that obvious line between your natural hair and the extensions? Yep, this is one of the most telltale signs! Our top tip on how to blend hair extensions with thick hair is to ensure they match the thickness of your natural hair. We recommend ZALA clip in hair extensions triple or quad weft 9 piece sets. These have not one, but three or four wefts sewn into each piece to create an extra thick set, perfect for thick hair types!

If you’re looking to lengthen your locks, then you’ll also need to make sure the extensions are thick to the very ends. A sign of poor quality hair extensions are thin, ratty ends which make it extremely difficult to blend with thick hair. At ZALA, all our hair extensions are double drawn for equal thickness from top to tip. This ensures plenty of hair to work with for seamless natural blending

BLENDING & STYLING FOR SEAMLESS BLENDING

Once you’ve chosen the perfect set for your hair, it’s all down to blending & styling. Styling is super important to ensure the extensions are completely undetectable once applied. For a sleek look, go over your locks and the extensions with a straightener to blend any kinks. Otherwise, our go-to look for a super natural finish are definitely curls! Curls are amazing at concealing any harsh lines and make it so easy to achieve seamless blending with thick hair. When styling hair extensions with thick hair types, the ZALA Cosmo Wand is our most recommend curling wand.

How to Revive Your Hair Extensions

Partied a little too hard in your hair extensions over the silly season? Or a little guilty of leaving them in a mess on the floor? Don’t stress! We show you how to revive your hair extensions to get them looking and feeling as good as new.

How to Revive Your Hair Extensions

Although it’s super important to always take proper care of your hair extensions, there is hope if you’ve been a little slack! So, let’s get into exactly how to revive your hair extensions.

REMOVING TANGLES

First things first, remove those knots & tangles! If you’re guilty of leaving your extensions in a pile on the floor or shoved away in a box, there’s no doubt they’ll need a good brushing. The most gentle way to detangle your extensions is working from tip to top using a brush that’s hair extension safe. Our favourite brush to quickly and easily get rid of knots is the ZALA Tangle Tamer which is super gentle on your locks.

The ZALA Tangle Tamer! Our favourite brush to safely detangle hair extensions.

HYDRATION BOOST

Next, if your hair extensions have lost their shine and are feeling a bit dry, give them good wash with a hydrating shampoo and conditioner. We often recommend washing your hair extensions if you notice a change in their appearance or feel. Once fresh and clean, up the hydration and apply a deep conditioning treatment to bring them back to their original soft & silky condition.

SMOOTH STYLING

Once you’ve washed and treated the set, it’s time to style them. To get them feeling super silky, smooth over with a straightener whilst brushing through the hair. This is our top tip to reduce frizz and bring back their shine! Check out exactly how to revive your hair extensions using this technique below.

SAFE STORAGE

Last but certainly not least, correct storage is key! To avoid this whole process and prolong the life of your hair extensions, it’s super important to store them correctly. And no, a shoebox doesn’t cut it! The best way to store your hair extensions is in a protective case like our Protect Me Bag. This handy little bag is a case and carrier in one. It zips up neatly and can be hung in your cupboard, out of sight and protected from humidity and other nasties. This is seriously vital for all hair extension lovers!
