Here at ZALA, we know a thing or two about hair extension obsessions. Hair extensions are such an easy way to add length, volume and life to your hair and we can admit can be pretty addictive. I mean, come on, there is nothing like opening up your fresh set of extensions.

Check out the 4 kinds of hair extension addicts and decide which one you are below!

4 Kinds of Hair Extension Addicts

1. The Regretful Hair Cut

We all know that feeling of regret walking out of the salon with a new do that is just too short. You panic, realising it will take months to grow back and curse your hair dresser who promised just to take off “two inches” and quickly delete that inspiration pic of Jennifer Lawrence from your phone. But all is solved when you clip in your favourite pair of ZALAs and feeling your old self again, complete with long lush locks.

2. The Length Addict

This girl is no stranger to hair extensions. In fact she had slowly been trying longer and longer sets for as long as you’ve known her. Inspired by Kim Kardashian’s gorgeous long locks and Rihanna’s amazing long hair moments, she isn’t afraid to rock the 24 inch – 30 inch sets and let’s admit it, she rocks them! In fact, she may even be the one who inspired you to try extensions for the first time, trying a slightly shorter set to start of course. Who knows, maybe one day you will make it to the longest lengths like her.

3. The Volume Addict

No one likes limp and lifeless hair, especially not the volume addict. She discovered hair extensions to give her hair a boost of volume, and boy did she! She is always trying new hair styles, experimenting with curls and up-dos and always looks amazing. And she can walk into a room and turn heads with her glamorous and voluminous mane. Her favourite extensions are definitely the ZALA Quad Wefted Clip-ins for the ultimate shampoo-commercial-hair-flipping-volume!

4. The Party Girl

This girl loves a party. Whether it’s a summer wedding, music festival, her BFF’s birthday dinner or Friday night movie at yours, she finds an excuse to get her hair looking fabulous. She is definitely who you go to for hair advice because she has tried it all. Whether it is clip-ins, tape extensions or ponytails, she’s a fan there is no denying that she is your hair goals.

How to Rock Platinum Blonde Hair

The wise Donatello Versace once said that there were only two acceptable hair colours to rock: jet black or platinum blonde. And let’s face it, blondes have more fun right? So we have brought you the ultimatel ZALA guide on how to rock platinum blonde hair (minus the damage) so you’re one step closer to achieving an blonde look!

How to Rock Platinum Blonde Hair

Platinum blonde hair is actually a fairly broad term so before you set out on your hair adventure, you have to decide if you are after:

Creamy Platinum Blonde OR Cool & Ashy Platinum Blonde

Creamy Platinum Blonde

If you’re going for that creamy platinum blonde look a la Donatella Versace, Gwen Stefani or Marilyn Monroe; we would recommend toning ZALA’s Beachy Blonde #613. Remember to always test your toner on a single piece of hair to ensure it does give the desired results. We always use the ZALA “Cool Down” toning shampoo for beautiful toning results without the damage. This product has been designed for toning hair extensions without damaging the hair follicle.

You can see a tutorial featuring our Beachy Blonde #613 before and after toning below:

Cool & Ashy Platinum Blonde

We absolutely LOVE the cool and ashy platinum blonde being rocked by celebrities like Kim Kardashian. This a bold look perfect for any hair trend setter! If you’re after this cool blonde look, we would recommend ZALA’s Ice Queen Platinum Blonde #60. This shade goes through a 12 step dying process to achieve its incredible colour without damaging the hair. This is absolutely perfect for those looking for the Kimmy K look!

Blonde Care

While blondes do have more fun, they also have a responsibility to look after their hair! It is important to incorporate a strict hair care routine into your life if you decide to go platinum. We absolutely love the ZALA hair care range complete with:

ZALA’s Revive Me Hair Treatment – this miracle serum works to repair and restore moisture to your hair to get it feeling silky smooth and shiny.

ZALA’s Froth on You Shampoo – this shampoo has been specially designed for hair extensions to strip them of grime, not life! With none of the yucky stuff like parabens and sulphates, this product will not damage your blonde locks.

ZALA’s Smooth Talker Conditioner – we love this conditioner because it always gets our hair feeling smooth and glossy without weighing it down. This conditioner is perfect for protecting and restoring dyed or bleached hair.
