Siren Makeup and Hair Tutorial

This tutorial is based on the siren makeup and hair tutorial by @thecapricornn on TikTok.

1. Mermaid Locks

When we think of mermaids, we immediately imagine glistening scales as legs, seashells as bra cups, and long, dangling hair bedazzled with ocean pearls and other underwater treasures. But what if you don’t have long hair like those fairytale mermaids?

No need to worry! To make your dreams come true, all you need to do is to simply purchase a set of hair extensions. Here at Zala, we offer you a wide range of lengths and colors that you can choose from. If you want to achieve the enchanting hair of sirens as featured in this tutorial, we recommend that you get the 30″ Zala Hair Beach Blonde Clip-in Hair Extensions.

2. Shampoo the strands

We told you to ditch the typical black and orange theme of Halloween. We also told you to ditch the classic witch costume. What character do we have in store for you? A tuned-up version of our sweet Princess Ariel. Grab your Zala hair extensions and let’s start!

After picking your new hair extensions, the second step is to take the color to the next level. Don’t worry, your new Zala Hair extensions are made of 100% human Remy hair so it’s completely safe to dye and tone them just like your own natural hair!

Before applying the color, make sure to shampoo your hair extensions first. You can applyZala Hair’s Froth on You Shampoo for Hair Extensions to make sure that the strands are free of grime and build-up. It’s also free of parabens and sulfates!

3. Switch the color up

To get the full siren look, you have todye your hair as well. After shampooing your hair extensions, simply take one of the wefts and start applying the color evenly to it with a color brush. The reason why we’re telling you to try one of the wefts first is to make sure that you’re satisfied with the color and application before you change the entire hair extensions set.

For this look, you will be turning your hair into a deep, rich purple. Make sure to begin at the roots and work it all the way down to the ends. You can also switch things up by coloring your hair extensions with a purple ombre swatch.

Once the hair extensions have dried after coloring, you can apply Zala Hair’s Revive Me Hair Extension Treatment to bring back the shine and moisture to the strands.

4. Clip-in your locks

Now that you’ve chosen, shampooed, and colored your hair extensions, all you have to do now is clip them in. To have a seamless application, start by creating sections in your hair first. Sectioning will allow you to gauge the placement and number of wefts that you should put in your hair. You can effortlessly do your sectioning with the Zala Hair Sectioning Clips. Definitely a one, two, three, clip situation!

5. Time to accessorize! Pearly shells or spooky spikes?

Tales as old as time have told us about mermaids with pearls in their hair and colorful scales on their tails. But are you willing to switch up the pearls for spikes and the scales for a little black dress?

You can turn from the sweet princess Ariel to a punky modern siren by applying metallic accessories to your hair. This will create a great contrast between your rich purple hair; making the accessories shine as they should. We recommend anything with spikes or even a simple metallic pearl in contrast to the luminescent pearl we’re all familiar with.

Bonus tip: to make your accessories pop off, you should make your hair more volumized, too. You can do this by applying Zala Hair’s Mad Matter Hair Extension Volumizing Powder. All you have to do is puff a small amount on to your hair and then style it any way you want.

6. The new face of the ocean

A look will never be complete without make-up. To finish up your Halloween get-up, grab your favorite foundation, purple eyeshadow, an eyeliner, and some plumping lipstick.

The eyes, Chico. They never lie. And that’s why we should start with that smize. To create a dramatic look, apply a deep purple shade over your lids. You can also put a little below your eyes to amp up your look.

Next, do the base make-up with your foundation, concealer, setting powder, and then top it all off with an extra bright dash of highlighter. The more highlighter, the better for this Halloween look.

Let’s go back to your eyes and finish your smize with an ultra-black eyeliner, making sure to add wings for extra oomph. Next, apply a thick pair of false eyelashes and you’re SPOOKTACULAR look is done!

Siren Makeup and Hair Tutorial

Your hair is done and your face make-up is done. All you have to do now is to grab that spooky red lipstick and you’re now ready to show them who the baddest siren in town – or in the sea – is.

Halloween Hair: The Rybka Twins Witch Hair Tutorial

It’s time for cobweb decorations, trick or treats, and spooky pumpkins once again. The night may be dark and full of terrors, but it’s also the perfect night to dress up and get into your creepy costume. Looking for ideas? We’ve heard that the beloved Rybka twins are going as witches this year! And who wouldn’t want to dress up as the classic symbol of Halloween, right?

Ready to cast your spell on the entire neighborhood? Read on as we teach you how to style your hair and look like the best witch in town!

rybka twins witch hair tutorial

The Rybka Twins Witch Hair Tutorial

For this tutorial, we’re going to take some inspiration from the riveting Rybka twins, as they dress up like witches and Harry Potter characters for Halloween.

1. Sporting a bob cut? No problem

Did someone say witches? We’re guessing you immediately thought of Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Harry Potter’s Hermione Granger. Both witches have voluminous hair, after all. But don’t worry if you have short hair that’s close to a pixie cut! You can still achieve their iconic locks with hair extensions.

Here at Zala, we offer a wide range of hair extensions with lengths ranging from 12 inches to 30 inches that serve that exact purpose.

If you’re a blondie and are going for the sleek locks of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, we highly recommend the Zala Hair Honey Beach Blonde Highlights. If you prefer to go longer, just like in this Rybka twins witch hair tutorial, you can go all the way to 20 inches. This variant has different tones of blonde to fit in with your natural hair color perfectly.

If your hair is longer than a pixie and you’re thinking of going as the cheeky Hermione Granger, we recommend the extra thick Zala Hair Quadweft Clip in Hair Extensions in Chestnut Brown. Trust us, this will give you the iconic Hermione hair during her first year at Hogwarts.

2. Not ash-blonde enough? Tone it up!

Sabrina Spellman’s hair is sleek, shiny, and definitely bewitching! If you’re not satisfied with how the color of your hair extensions blends in with your hair, you can easily remove the brassiness by applying a toner.

Aside from hair extensions, we also have a wide range of hair care products. Fortunately, this includes a purple shampoo that can help cool down the tones of your hair extensions.

The new Cool Down Hair Extension Toning Shampoo is a sulfate-free and paraben-free product, which means it can safely tone your hair without the harsh chemicals. Just be careful when reading the instructions, and always make sure that you test it first with one weft and not the entire hair extensions set.

3. Clip in the hair extensions!

Now that you’ve chosen your hair extensions and successfully tweaked its color to perfection, it’s time to put in the magic!

To apply the hair extensions, start by creating sections. You can tuck in the hair that is not part of the section by pinning them with Zala Hair’s sectioning clips. You’ll get two clips at a low price to help make your application of the hair extensions easier.

You have the option to choose from two sets when buying your hair extensions here at Zala: a 5-piece set and a 9-piece set. If you’re looking to add more volume to your hair, we highly recommend getting a 9-piece set because this will include more wefts that you can clip into your hair.

4. Bring out the magic wand! Or maybe the curling wand?

You’ve colored and clipped them in already, but something seems to be missing: the curls.

Since our hair extensions here at Zala are made out of 100% Human Remy hair, you can style them any way you want, to your heart’s content. Straight, curl, wave, or even braid them, you name it, and you’re free to do it.

Also, a modern-day witch requires a modern wand, right? The 4-in-1 Cosmo Curling Wand by Zala Hair is the perfect tool to aid you in achieving your desired curls. The set contains four interchangeable curling wands that will give you different curl patterns. The barrels are infused with tourmaline, which can lock-in moisture and give added shine to your hair.

5. Put on your hat, we’re going trick-or-treating

Your hair’s all done and styled, and you’re now ready to spook the entire neighborhood! Just like the Halloween look of the Rybka twins, all that’s left to do now is to put on your modern-day witch outfit. After that, top it off with a black, wide-brimmed hat to complete the Halloween look.

The Rybka Twins Witch Hair Tutorial

It’s not easy looking for a character to dress up as during Halloween season. In a crowd of bloody nurses, Harley Quinn’s, and superheroes, it’s not bad to go back and dress up as the classic female symbol of Halloween. Dressing up as a stylized witch is one way to showcase your femininity while also dressing up for the occasion. Put your hat on like the Rybka twins and show the neighborhood who’s the best witch in town!

Halloween Hair: Modern Princess Belle Tutorial

We’re all familiar with the iconic half-up, half-down locks of the enchanting Princess Belle. With half of her brunette hair in a tousled updo and the remaining locks curled effortlessly, Princess Belle’s hairstyle is one of the most sought after looks if you’re going for that classic and ethereal aesthetic.

But are you ready to pump up this classic Disney hairstyle into a modern princess Belle look? Welcome to our Halloween Hair series, where we’ll provide a complete tutorial on how to achieve some of your favorite character hairstyles!

Ponytail As Old As Time

Short hair? We hear you! Even if you have short hair, you can still copy Princess Belle’s iconic hairstyle by using hair extensions!

There are thousands of hair extensions you can choose from, but for this look, we’ll be using our 16″ Ponytail Clip in Hair Extensions, which you can easily clip on to your natural ponytail.

Modern Princess Belle Hair Tutorial

Ready to see your prince? Here’s how to recreate the iconic Princess Belle hairstyle – with a modern twist!

1. Put your natural hair up into a ponytail

The first step is to put your natural hair up into a ponytail, preferably using a neutral-colored band like the one that comes with your Zala ponytail hair extension set. The location of the ponytail will depend on your preference, but if you want to fully get that modern Belle look, we recommend a high pony.

However, do remember to leave a few pieces on the front because these will serve as the stylized top of the hairstyle. Pro-tip: you don’t have to worry about this part if you have bangs.

2. Apply the ponytail hair extension

If you look at your Zala Ponytail Hair Extensions, you can see that it has a fabric mesh at the top with a comb attached to it. This is further lined with Velcro, to help in securing the hair extension to your natural hair. It also includes an extra section of hair to conceal any natural hair that’s peeking out, as well as the elastic band.

After putting your hair in a high ponytail, take the hair extensions and insert the comb, which is attached to the fabric mesh, in the hair tie. Once you can feel that the comb has been inserted, slowly put in the Velcro lining all around the band of your ponytail.

3. Style those front strands

You’ve taken care of the back part, now it’s time to focus on the front section! It wouldn’t be a Princess Belle hairdo without a styled updo. You’re ready to proceed to the next step if you have bangs but if you don’t, you can start styling the few pieces you left on the front.

There are several ways you can style the front pieces of your hair. You can curl them and pin parts of it to the side with a bobby pin. If the strands are short, you can just let them dangle effortlessly. The general rule is that it should be used to frame your face.

After that, take the extra section of hair from the hair extensions and wrap it around the ponytail. The set comes with a bobby pin which you can use to keep the extra section in place.

4. Curl the ends

Effortless locks are a signature style of Disney princesses. Princess Belle in particular has soft and romantic wavy hair, so if you want to achieve the same look, it would be best if you lightly curl your hair together with the ponytail extensions.

For the perfect curls, check out our 4-in-1 Zala Cosmo Curling Wand. It comes with four different barrels for different types of curls, and it’s guaranteed to give you long-lasting curls without harming your natural strands.

5. Accessorize

You already have Belle’s styled updo but it seems like something is missing. What could that be?

Well, it’s not a Princess Belle hairstyle without the iconic golden band at the top of her hair! Since you’re aiming for that modern princess look, you can amp up this classic Disney hairstyle by using a cute bow.

Just pin a silky, high-quality bow to the band of your ponytail or at the side of your head. This will immediately add an extra bit of edginess to your modern Disney Princess look.

What Your Hair Color Says About You

With the wide range of hair colors to choose from – from ash grey to dark brown, bright blond to hot pink, fiery red to emerald green, it’s more difficult to decide which color to change into than to decide whether to stick to our own natural color. These series of choices regarding our hair color actually says a lot about our personality.

In today’s article, we’ll tell you what your hair color says about you – at least according to common stereotypes!

zala hair color says about you

Natural Hair Colors

Hair colors are often the basis for a whole series of assumptions on the personalities of people we meet. Blondes are sexy if positively seen, or bimbos if negatively, redheads are fiery in a positive light and hot-headed under negative perspective, brunettes get to be good girls and the black-haired are exotics.

You don’t get a say with what your natural hair color is. Still, you would probably get judged by the hair color stereotypes that exist.

Blonde

Those born blonde are judged as attractive, feminine, naive, youthful, high maintenance, carefree, loud and/or fun. You love being the center of attention, with a full-packed schedule always having somewhere to be and something to do. You have so much fun living for the moment that you sometimes get into trouble for failing to worry about what’s going on around you.

Ginger

Red-haired girls, on the other hand, are said to be aggressive, passionate, impulsive, opinionated, and/or promiscuous. You’re not afraid to show off, and you’re always on the move and don’t usually take no for an answer. You’re very opinionated and doesn’t mind telling things as they are, with your signature sass of course.

Brunette

Brunettes, the brown-haired ladies, are labeled conscientious, practical, dependable and/or reliable. You have plans of action laid out and are always on the go. You thrive on staying busy, revolving your days around a tough work schedule and responsibilities. Although your hard work might be misunderstood, your drive and passion is your key to many achievements ultimately to success.

As a very natural color, brown translates to brunettes being bold and never being afraid to speak their mind. You are blessed with the tendency to root everyone to reality, to be always truthful and honest, which is why you make a good friend.

Raven

Women with black hair are characterized as deep as their hair color. Exotic, introspective, and spiritual, you’re quiet and laid back. You prefer the company of a good book in a small, hidden local coffee shop or with the TV blurting out the news while you settle on your couch and analyze the politics and economy. You’re rather welcoming of challenging conversations where others explain their view even if you mostly find yourself in an argument.

Regardless, the connection between natural hair colors and personalities are most probably next to none. Because if there was, countries with little hair color variations in their people wouldn’t really show diversity. 

Unconventional Hair Colors

While the suggested connection between natural hair color and personality is largely just stereotypical, the same can’t be said with unconventional and unnatural hair colors. Since these hair colors are results of personal choices, they reveal preferences and therefore, personality traits.

Fiery Red

Red reverberates strongly with physical energy, aggression, and passion. As a very bright color, it shows your more extroverted, social, and attention-seeking desires. It suggests a possibly impulsive and competitive personality that can sometimes burn bridges when others can’t handle your sass and blunt opinions.

Open Blue

As the color of the water and the sky, both of which are vast areas of space and matter, you are likely to be, or at least you aspire to be, calming, collected, confident and trustworthy. You tend to be open-minded and accepting of new ideas. Basically, you’re a logical and rational thinker who think before you act. The downside is that you can come across as somewhat cold or aloof since you don’t seem to be as in touch with your emotions.

Empathetic Pink

Strongly associated with feelings, empathy, nurturing, and femininity and as a generally anti-aggressive color, pink signifies that you are likely to be very in touch with your feelings. You are emotionally impressive but hate confrontations. As the color of love and passion, of youth and joy, pink hair reflects a warm personality that likes to make new friends and acquaintances, learn new things, and share experiences.

Healing Green

The color green is usually analogous with nature, life, healing, and growth. Gravitating towards green most likely means you are searching for balance in life. Physically and mentally, you tend to have a love for nature, wildlife, growth, and healing.

Mysterious Purple

People commonly link the color purple to wealth, royalty, and spirituality. With the tendency to think deeply and search inside yourself to decide what are the important things in life and what is the best way to communicate that to the rest of the world, you are likely to be highly intuitive with idealistic thinking and a fascination with the spiritual and the unknown. As the color of intuition, creativity, mystery, and magic, you look for answers beyond the physical realm and the conventional wisdom.

Spicy Orange and Adventurous Yellow

Choosing the brighter shades of yellow or orange is an expression of spice for life and the love of new adventures. A pack leader and norm changer, you never fail to tap the table with a surprising fashion or a new idea.

Bold Black

As the color that scientifically means the absence of all the others, choosing to wear black means you are searching the world around you. Perhaps, you’re looking for answers to life’s greatest questions. It signifies the ability to think outside the box and look beyond what the eyes can see.

Colorful Highlights

Dying a few strands of your hair with a different color is increasingly becoming the norm. Highlights are so bold and beautiful, and they showcase that you know how to have fun and be creative.

Multiple Brightly Colored Streaks

Like girls with bright hair colors or pretty highlights, dying your hair with multiple colored streaks also show off your bolder personality. You show off fun but you don’t go too far. You can probably find yourself headbanging to your favorite heavy metal rock bank one night and enjoying wine and painting on another. Plus, you rock the colors with confidence and without caring for what other people think. 

Dying unconventional or unnatural colors imply unconventional thinking. It also speaks of the desire to be unique. It’s a way to express themselves and their instinctual impulses in terms of outward appearance and not to seek attention. It shows the desire to be creative, their open mind, and open to new experiences and variety in life.

What your hair color can say about you

Whether it’s a first impression or a snap judgment, we relate other people’s hair color with their personality. In a span of a moment, we have instantly categorized those we encounter according to their hair color, as they also do to us.

Whether we believe it or not, our hair colors reflect our personalities. Oftentimes, these are rooted in reality even when we’re still deciding whether to keep our natural hair color or dye them a different one.
