  3. Once sectioned, turn on your hair straightener to a low heat setting to prevent any damage to your hair or extensions.
  4. In a downward motion, move your hair straightener throughout each section of hair. Slowly rotate the hair straightener in a back and forth motion as you move it down the hair in a manner like such:

  5. Let each piece of hair cool down
  6. Once your hair has cooled down, lightly rub a styling pomade or hair mouse through your hands and run your hands through the lengths of your hair to ensure it keeps it’s hold. Otherwise hairspray also works!

Air Drying Hair Tips

Styling your tape extensions can be a daunting thought. If you’re used to doing your hair with a straightener, blow dryer or curler almost everyday, you may not like the idea of leaving your hair to air dry! That’s why we have put together a list of our favourite air drying hair tips so you can style your hair to perfection, without the damage.

ZALA’s Revive Me Hair Treatment

Air Drying Hair Tips

This is a must have product for any girl. If you are worried about frizz when air drying, we cannot recommend this product more. It has been specially formulated to reduce all frizziness and adds shine to your hair. Simply spray a small amount into the palm of your hands and run though your hair when wet. This will ensure your hair dries smooth, with plenty of added shine. You can find our Revive Me Hair Treatment here.

Towel Time

If you’re used to roughing your hair up with a towel, it’s time to stop! This can create frizziness and make your hair dry and brittle when air drying. Instead, try gently pressing smaller sections of your hair between two sides of the towel. This will remove moisture without adding frizz. We also love microfibre towels! Normal cotton towels can be rough on your hair cuticles and we therefore recommend a microfibre towel to avoid ongoing damage. This will also help with air drying by preventing friction with the hair cuticle.

The Twist Technique

This is the ultimate, no fuss technique for relaxed ‘French girl’ waves. Once your hair has partly dried, take small sections of your hair and twist them into tight curls by twirling the ends with your fingers. This will remove excess water and speed up drying time as well as creating beautiful effortless waves.

Braiding

Braiding is an amazing way to create cool, beach babe waves without damaging heated tools. For looser, more relaxed waves we recommend parting your hair into four larger braids and ensuring they are not braided to tight. For tighter curls, we recommend doing more smaller braids your hair, ensuring they are braided slightly tighter.

Is your hair prone to dryness? Read on as we explore some Dry Hair Hacks and what you can do to help bring some life back into your hair.

Prevention is the first step to success. Using a heat protecting treatment is essential to ensure your hair lasts countless styling sessions with hot styling tools. Using a heat protectant treatment helps acts as a barrier to your hair before styling by protecting against the harsh heat of your styling tools. Heat protectant treatment is also a great aid for the sunnier seasons as some contain UV blocking particles.

Dry Hair HacksStyling your hair using low heat settings on heat styling tools will help prevent any severe damage to your hair. Hair can be styled well with tools that are as little as 90 Degrees Celsius, so try to avoid soaring temperatures of 210 Degrees Celsius.

Have you heard the great news? We have launched our own Hair Extension Treatment! ZALA Revive Me Hair Extension Treatment is the perfect solution to maintaining soft and smooth hair and extensions. After washing your hair, spray and spread throughout your hair and extensions and let air dry. Style as per normal and you will be able to tell a significant difference in feel and look of your hair!

Dry Hair HacksTreating your hair with coconut oil regularly will help add some smoothness and shine to your hair. Coconut oil is rich in Hyaluronic Acid which encourages collagen production and can assist with adding hydration to your hair.
