How To Take The Perfect Hair Selfie

We’re all now walking with a professional photo studio in our pocket thanks to smartphones with HD cameras and apps that turn you into Beyonce. Read on as we tell you how to nail that perfect hair selfie to ensure all your photos are double tapped.

Perfect Hair Selfie

Warm Light

Perfect Hair Selfie

Warm light is flattering for your skin, makeup, and hair! The advantages of warm light in your selfie is that it creates a natural filter for your portraits and evokes a sense of calm and relaxation, allowing your audience to feel happy when viewing your perfect hair selfie.

Eye Contact

Perfect Hair Selfie Engage with your audience! Looking into the camera, and not at your screen, will draw your audience into your perfect hair selfie. Once your eyes capture your viewers, they will immediately look at your gorgeous ZALA hair! (or once your gorgeous ZALA hair draws in your viewers, they will immediately look into your eyes. Either way…)

P

Hair In The Front

Wearing your hair over your shoulders in a nice style such as in curls will allow light to shine off the curves and emphasise your smooth locks! Curls are a perfect style to show off in your selfies.

Longest Hair Extension Style

Quick & Easy – Get The Longest Hair Extension Style Instantly!

If you’re dying for super long locks we would recommend our ZALA clip in range in our 24inch, 26inch or 30inch option! For the best blending; we recommend our five piece set for those with thinner/finer hair, our 9 piece set for those with medium – thick hair and our quad weft option (available in 24 inches) for those with super thick hair!

Longest Hair Extension Style

Want long straight hair like Hair God Cher? Follow our easy step by step guide below:

To get this super sleek style follow these steps:

  1. Brush through your natural hair to remove any knots or tangles and divide your hair into three sections.
  2. Using a straightener, straighten each section root to tip to remove all kinks and ensure your hair is completely straight.
  3. Now brush through your extensions to remove all knots and tangles and ensure they are silky smooth.
  4. Apply a heat protectant and straighten each piece to ensure they are completely kink free.
  5. Create a straight middle part using a thin comb – this is super important to have an authentic Cher look!
  6. Apply your clip in hair extensions and brush through once applied to blend them with your natural hair.
  7. Voila! You have this super sleek, long hair look.

We love Demi Lovato’s long slick and straight hair! #hairgoals

Top Tips:

  • Use a deep conditioning treatment on your hair extensions to keep them super soft and silky for this look 🙂 This will add moisture back to them and ensure your extensions stay in great shape!
  • Store your extensions in a ZALA Protect Me Bag to avoid any frizz caused by humidity in the air.

Spring Races Hairstyle Rules

Follow these rules and we can assure you that your hair will not be disqualified from the match:

SLEEK AND STRAIGHT (From the horses mouth)

Spring Races Hairstyle Rules

To keep your hair and extensions sleek and straight throughout your day out, it is important to prep! Preparation is imperative for ladies who want to have a sleek and straight maine all day.

Sleek and straight Spring Races Hairstyle rules:

  • Use a heat protectant prior to straightening to give your hair and extensions hydration and moisture
  • Use a hair straightening iron and straighten in layers.
  • Straighten your extensions BEFORE applying to your already straightened hair.
  • Use an oil based serum to lightly coat your hair to prevent fly aways and fuzziness.
  • set with hair spray
  • Carry a purse friendly Tangle Tamer with you all day to brush our and maintain your sleek and straight look.

Go Big (or go home)

spring races hairstyles look

Like your bets, your hair should be BIG! There is nothing small about the Spring Races.

Go Big or Go Home spring hairstyle rules

  • Curl your extensions the night before and pin each curl intact, setting with hairspray
  • Curl your hair before applying extensions.
  • Unpin the curls on your extensions and apply each piece to your hair.
  • Brush your hair with a wide tooth comb to blend the curls.
  • Use a volumizer spray (we find that dry shampoo works wonders) to give your hair body and bounce
  • set with hairspray.
  • Carry a purse friendly Tangle Tamer with you all day to keep your curls in order!

Braid the Mane: Updo’s

Spring Races Hairstyle Rules

To end the Spring Races Hairstyle Rules trifecta is a voluptuous maine… er braid. Ladies, if you are rocking a braid at the races, ensure you’re hair stays put!

  • Secure fly away bits with U shape bobby pins
  • Lightly coat your hands with a wax based styling pomade and run through the ends of your hair to give your braid some hold for the whole day. (Careful as this can make your hair look greasy!)
  • Strategically place your fascinator at the crown of your head to prevent it falling out- We would recommend securing with bobby pins.

Hairstyles for your Face Shape

Check out our guide to the most flattering hairstyles for your face shape! Choosing the perfect look can be daunting but ZALA have you covered. Whether you’re blessed with a cute round face or fierce square jawline we have a look for you.

hairstyles for your face shape

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:

Tarah is wearing 20inch ZALA clip in extensions in Ice Queen Platinum Blonde #60

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:

Cats is wearing the 22inch ZALA human hair ponytail in Honey Blonde #18

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:

India is wearing her ZALA clip in extensions in Snickers Highlights #4/12

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!
