TWISTED LOW PONY
Low ponytails are super effortless and soooo easy to create. We love this twisted low pony style that adds edge to this ultra simple look. Simply tie your tresses back in a low pony. A hair elastic similar to the colour of your locks is preferred! Next, create a space above the elastic. Open up to make a gap and thread through your pony to create this stylish twist! This twisted ponytail will look super cute paired with natural beachy waves.
MESSY TOP KNOT
The top knot or high bun! Messy buns are an essential summer style. Again, super easy to recreate and the help beat the heat. This style also fights humidity by keeping your hair out of the way, which is much needed for summer. Simply throw up your hair, twist & secure into this cute bun. The messier, the better! Finish by pulling out pieces of hair around your hair to complete the messy look.
The fishtail pony will help you through summer! Not only is it easy, it’s just as pretty <3 To get the look, start with your hair is a high pony. Next, fishtail your way down your hair & secure with an elastic. This look instantly adds a boho vibe to your look and will always be on trend for summer.

A failsafe look for formals or prom, CURLS! Simple, stylish and super pretty. We love this look as it can be tailored to suit your style of dress. Whether you want vintage, old hollywood or relaxed and beachy, pop in your ZALA Hair for thick and luscious curls for days.
However, we love hollywood style curls for a super glamorous side swept style. To achieve this classic style, first apply a set of ZALA 20″-24″ Clip In Hair Extensions. Our Quadweft sets would also be perfect for this look for super thickness.
For these glam waves, you’ll need a curling barrel on the larger side. Whilst your curling wand heats up, be sure to spray your hair with heat protectant to take care of those locks! Taking medium sized sections of your hair, wrap the hair flat around the iron and curl in the same direction to create that old hollywood style curl.
HALF UP, HALF DOWN
The half-up, half down trend is the happy medium between an up-do and wearing your locks out. This look can also be adapted to suit both curled and straight, which is why we love this look for formal hairstyles.
Once you have applied your ZALA Hair, spray with heat protectant and style as desired. Next, take two sections from either side of the front of your hair, and pull, braid or twist back to create this super cute half-up, half-down. For the final touch and added detail, finish with a hair accessory and spray with hairspray for extra hold!
POLISHED PONYTAIL
Out of all the formal hairstyles, a polished ponytail is perfect for a more sleek and sophisticated look. And, it’s super easy! Start by brushing through your hair to remove and any knots and tangles. If you’re wearing this style straight and sleek, simply gather your hair into either a low or high ponytail and tie with a clear elastic to secure. Hairspray to flatten down any flyaways for a super sleek finish.
Next, wrap a small section of hair from the underside of your ponytail for a wrapped ponytail look. Secure in place with bobby pins.

The struggle: Hair at school
Here at ZALA, we understand the constant hassle of managing a cute and tidy hairstyle all while spending each and every day studying hard in the classroom or at home. You want bangs for an upcoming party on the weekend but don’t want annoying strands of hair in your eyes while you read at school? Or maybe something simple and neat for classes but still trendy for your afternoon job? You’ve come to the perfect place. We LOVE hair and we want girls worldwide to feel less stressed when it comes to their hair. Read on below for more super cute and easy-to-learn back to school hairstyles.
Back to school hairstyles
We’ve gathered a few secret 2015 hair trends that are rising in popularity and perfect for a day at school. Experiment with some of these gorgeous back to school hairstyles:
The pinned princess pouf
This back to school hairstyle is great for keeping unwanted flyaways out of your face during the day, but still keeps you feeling glam and tidy all at the same time.
You’ll need a few bobby pins, hairspray, a comb, a hair straightener or blow dryer (optional). Simply pin a large amount of hair at the top of the head, and tease downwards with a comb to create lots of volume. You can also create this affect using a blow dryer if you are after extreme volume. Pin the ends of the hair by pulling and twisting the ends, all while keeping the pouf balanced.
You can spray a light layer of hairspray to give the pouf long lasting shape throughout the day. You can also straighten the rest of your hair to complete your cute pinned pouf look!
The big ballerina bun
The ballerina bun is perfect for staying fresh and still looking presentable at school but also keeping it quite classy and elegant. This technique is easy, and you can create the perfect ballerina bun for yourself simply by purchasing a bun donut located at any hair care store.
You’ll need a hair brush, an elastic tie, some bobby pins, a bun donut, and some hairspray for extra strength to control any flyaways. Start by brushing the hair and continue by putting your hair into a high ponytail (make the ponytail where you want the bun to sit). Apply the ponytail straight through the middle of the bun donut, allowing the rest of the ponytail to fountain around the bun donut. Cover the donut by shuffling around any extra pieces of hair, you can then bobby pin any excess strands.
Spray a layer of hairspray over the top for a sleek and shiny look, and voila! A big beautiful ballerina bun.
The fishtail side braid
This hairstyle whilst being visually beautiful adds a twist to the standard braid, by creating a unique yet simple look that will have all your classmates asking how to achieve it. The side fishtail braid looks best with longer hair, so wearing this style is a perfect excuse to show off your ZALA hair extensions at school!
The great thing about this hairstyle is that it doesn’t have to be perfect, the look is even more sensational when you add your own personal touch to the braid.
To achieve the look, sweep your hair to the side, and then split into two sections, from the right section pull out a small strand of hair from underneath and cross it over and underneath the left section, so your other hand holds the strand. Then repeat the other way starting with a small strand from the left side and then going across and underneath to the right side. Repeat this motion down the length of your hair, then secure with a elastic band.
To create a messier look gently pull at the braid, then spray a small amount of hairspray to it. This back to school hairstyle is sure to label you the school’s hottest trendsetter.
We hope this has helped you achieve some great back to school hairstyles!

Always make sure your extensions are tangle free before you store them.
Ensure they are clean and don’t have any product in them before storing, as some styling products can damage the hair if left on for a long period.
Always make sure the hair is dry, wet hair when stored can lead to potential mould and unpleasant odours.
Ensure that the extensions are stretched out and not curled or twisted over when storing so that they keep a nice straight shape while being stored.
