The most glamorous time of the year is upon us – spring racing season! We’ve got ALL your looks covered this year with these 3 MUST TRY spring races hairstyles using ZALA hair extensions. Read on for the perfect hairstyles to have you race day ready!

SPRING RACES HAIRSTYLES

 

SLEEK & STRAIGHT

Look number one is simple yet sophisticated! We love sleek, straight hair for the races as it’s super simple to achieve but still looks ultra chic! Simply apply your ZALA Hair Extensions to boost thickness & add some length to your locks. Then, back-comb sections of your natural hair at the crown of your head to create some height. Be careful not to tease your ZALA’s! Once the desired amount of volume is achieved, brush over carefully and smooth over with some hairspray. Create a neat middle part and then smooth down the front sections of your hair and bobby pin behind your ears. Finish with a lace or net fascinator and you’re done!

BIG, VOLUMINOUS CURLS

Next up may be our personal fave. Go BIG or go home with these ultra voluminous curls. To get the look, apply your clip in hair extensions and curl all your hair, working in sections. Our most recommended styling tool for the races is the ZALA Cosmo Wand! This luxury barrel set is designed to safely curl your ZALA’s and includes 5 interchangeable wands! For this look, we used the thickest attachment which creates the perfect oversized curls. On a low to medium heat, wrap the hair around the wand and hold for 5-8 seconds before realeasing. Then, once all your locks are curled to perfect, top with your fascinator!

TEXTURED SIDE BRAID

Lastly, this super elegant side braid. This look is so stunning and is definite spring races hair goals with a little help from ZALA hair extensions. For a super thick, voluminous braid, apply your ZALA hair extensions. We find this style works amazing if the hair is curled, for extra texture! Start with your hair parted to the side and create a french braid. Add in more hair from either side as you go and continue all the way down. Secure in place with a hair elastic and finish with your fascinator of choice!

Woken up to a bad hair day?! Don’t worry! Banish any hair problem to the past with these quick bad hair day fixes! These are our go-to tricks to get perfect hair, every time.

BAD HAIR DAY FIXES

OILY HAIR

Are your locks feeling not so fresh, but you don’t have the time for a shampoo? Dry shampoo is not the only option! There’s a few styles that are our go-to that work a treat to disguise oily hair. One of our favourites for hiding greasy bangs is an angel braid. Part your hair on the side and create a french braid along your hairline until you reach your ear. You can stop here and secure with an elastic, or continue with a regular braid all the way down. Tuck behind your ear and you have a cute, angel braid!

DRY, STRAGGLY HAIR

This is our fave fix for dry, straggly hair days. If your ends are a little unsightly and hair oil doesn’t seem to do the trick, throw your hair up in a pony and apply some ponytail extensions! Not only are ZALA ponytail extensions amazing for boosting thickness and adding life to your pony, they wrap around to complete disguise straggly hair. Made from the highest quality 100% human hair, they look ultra natural once applied. Your perfect pony in minutes <3

FLAT, LIMP HAIR

Finally, our instant fix for flat limp hair. If you spend hours on hours and endless amounts of products for voluminous hair with no results, all hope is not lost! With a little help from ZALA clip in hair extensions you can safely say goodbye to a bad hair day. Our clip in sets are made from 100% human hair so they can be curled or styled just like your natural hair, so no one will know it’s not all your own. If you’re looking to focus on adding volume, opt for a length similar to your natural hair. Or, use your clip ins to add some length and achieve your ultimate hair goals.

Ponytails are a definite go-to. But, who said they have to be boring?! Not us! We’ve put together these 3 ponytail hairstyles using hair extensions so you can slay a ponytail for any occasion. All three looks were created using ZALA ponytail extensions which completely transform any ponytail style in no time!

PONYTAIL HAIRSTYLES USING HAIR EXTENSIONS

Our favourite way to rock a ponytail style is definitely using ZALA ponytail hair extensions. They’re perfect if you’re feeling a little lazy but you want you locks on point, as they are super easy to apply and add instant glam! Our human hair ponytails can also be safely curled, styled and coloured JUST like your own hair. So let’s get into some of our fave ways to style them!

THE MESSY, LOW PONY

First up – the messy, low pony. Super elegant and romantic, this one is perfect for spring! To get the look, start by creating a loose dutch braid, continuing with a regular braid once you reach your ear. Then, tie your hair into a low side pony & apply your ponytail extensions! If you’re not sure how, we have a full tutorial HERE. Create another small braid in your pony for added texture before using your fingers to loosen both braids and make the look a little more messy. Finish by teasing the hair and styling in loose curls! Flowers are optional but we think it really brings together the whole look!

THE SLEEK, HIGH PONY

Next up, the sleek high pony! We definitely think ponytail extensions completely revamp this style and add extra glamour! For the ultimate glam look, pull your hair up into a high pony and brush through to ensure there are no bumps. Smooth down any flyaways with hairspray and apply your ZALA ponytail. For a little extra touch, braid the hair before wrapping around and securing in place. Finish with one last spritz of hairspray and you’re done! The sleek pony, made easy 🙂

THE HALF UP, HALF DOWN PONY

Last but most definitely not least, the half up half down pony! This may be our favourite of these ponytail hairstyles using hair extensions as it’s so effortless and casual. To achieve the look, section off the top half your hair with an elastic and apply your ZALA ponytail. We also applied a 5 piece set of clip in hair extensions to the bottom half of the hair to balance out the look and add length. Finish off the look by adding some curls using the ZALA Cosmo Wand. This 5 in 1 curling wand is our most recommended styling tool and is designed specially for hair extensions. And, you’re done! We’re feeling some serious Arianna vibes with this look.
