Hairstyles for your Face Shape

Heart Shaped:

Made is wearing 20inch ZALA clip in extensions in Honey Beach Highlights #18/613

To compliment a cute heart shaped face, we love side swept curls. This will create the perfect look as it accentuates your eyes and brows and is great for any face with wide brows and a narrow chin.

Oval:

Elle is wearing 20inch ZALA clip in extensions in Chestnut Brown #6

Oval faces are one of the most versatile face shapes with many looks complimenting the shape. Our favourite look for oval faces at ZALA, is long luscious hair with a middle part. This will narrow focus on your gorgeous locks and emphasise your face’s symmetry.

Long:

For longer face shapes, voluminous, bouncy hair is the perfect look. This will give your face dimension and prevent it from being further elongated. Curling your extensions is a great way to add in volume – we would recommend our Cosmo Curling Wand to create versatile curls and waves.

Square:

Sleek hairstyles are great for square shaped faces. Simple, silky looks will bring attention to sculpted jawlines and sharp cheekbones. We love the sleek ponytails and long straight locks rocked by stars like Kim Kardashian. Our Clip In Ponytails are the perfect way to get this look.

Round:

Medium length hair with messy bangs is perfect for any rounder shaped face. This will elongate the face, giving it a more oval appearance and correct any roundness. We also love loose beachy curls with medium length hair and bangs!

Seamless Hair Extensions Explained

Seamless Hair Extensions are gaining popularity in the Hair Extension community! We explore the common questions asked about Seamless Hair Extensions.

Seamless Hair Extensions

Seamless Hair Extensions, also known as ‘Skin Weft Extensions’ are made using a silicone backing at the top of the piece rather than wefts sewn to a piece of lace or fabric. Clips are then hand sewn to the silicone backing. They are designed for people who want to a lighter and thinner clip in extension method.

Many questions are asked about this new product, so we answer the following:

Seamless Hair Extensions

Can I wash Seamless Hair Extensions?

To put it simply, yes. You can wash Seamless Hair Extensions like any other clip in extension, however it is advised to avoid letting the silicone weft be submerged in water for no longer than 20 minutes. Water may seep into the cavity and not dry as well as fabric clip in hair extensions. Like any other Hair Extension, it is always recommended to use a sulphate free shampoo and conditioner to ensure the hair does not dry out.

Seamless Hair Extensions

Is there less hair per piece of Seamless Hair Extension?

Seamless hair extensions are designed to look thick and undetectable. Similar to Tape In Extensions, there are no rows of wefts sewn to a piece of lace like conventional Wefted Clip In Hair Extensions. Due to the nature of the silicone backing, you may require more pieces to achieve your desired thickness and length.

SEAMLESS HAIR EXTENSIONS

Can I dye my Seamless Hair Extensions?

If your seamless hair extensions are made from 100% Human Remy Hair, then yes you can! However it is advised to avoid putting any product where the silicone backing is, as this may damage the extension.

Like most human hair extensions, Seamless Hair Extensions can not be bleached or lightened. Many hair extensions tend to go through a long dying process, therefore we do not recommend bleaching or lifting your extensions as this may cause damage to the hair.

When toning or dying your set, always make sure you test your product on one single piece to ensure it gives the results you want!

Seamless Hair Extensions

Like any 100% Human Hair Extension, you can safely style your Seamless Hair Extensions on a lower heat setting. We would suggest styling your hair with a ceramic heating tool which does not exceed 130 Degrees Celsius. Always remember to use a quality heat protecting spray before styling!
