With the launch of our new Cosmo Curling Wand at ZALA, we thought we’d show you how the looks you can achieve with this luxury set! If you didn’t hear, we’ve released a 5 in 1 Curling Wand set – the ZALA Cosmo Wand! Yup, that’s right! 5 interchangeable wands for all different types of curls.

TYPES OF CURLS – GUIDE TO THE ZALA COMSO WAND

With the ZALA Cosmo Wand, we wanted to give the option to create any curls you desire. Which is why we’ve specially designed this 5 in 1 styling tool for our ZALA babes. Each wand covers all the types of curls for the ultimate styling set. The Cosmo Wand has clipless curling heads which means it’s super easy to switch between wands! All you do is push, pull & reattach!

9-18MM BARREL

Starting with the smallest barrel in the set, the 9-18mm wand. This wand tapers to a point, with the base of the head measuring 18mm. As you can see, this creates a super precise & compact curl. These curls look even more beautiful once they drop and are brushed through! We love the 9-18mm wand for adding texture to the hair.

25MM BARREL

Next up is the standard curling barrel, the 25mm wand. This is an essential in the set and creates the perfect, every day curl. The 25mm wand is ideal for adding a curl to the lengths of your hair and creates gorgeous movement & body. Definitely a favourite of ours in the kit! For fail-safe curls, the 25mm wand is perfect!

32MM BARREL

The largest head in the set, the 32mm barrel! We love the 32mm for creating a super glamorous look. As the thickest wand in the set, this creates amazing voluminous and loose curls. This barrel is absolutely perfect for achieving hollywood style curls <3

BEADED 25MM BARREL

The beaded 25mm barrel! This creates the ultimate beachy curls. With it’s unique pearl design, the hair wrap over and in between each bead. This is a go to for the super natural, textured curls. Brush through & spritz with some salt spray to finish, and you’ve got the perfect beachy locks.

SPIRAL 32MM BARREL

Lastly, the Spiral 32mm wand! Although it looks a little intimidating, this creates super pretty spiral curls! Simply wrap a small section around the wand, following the grooves. We find this works best when twisting the section of hair slighting, prior to curling! The spiral 32mm barrel leaves you with gorgeous, bouncy curls.

There you have it! All 5 wands in detail, each creating their own unique curl <3 This essential styling tool will have you ready for any occasion to create any look! So, which one is your favourite?
Be sure you don’t miss out on our special intro prices for the luxury Cosmo Curling Wand!

Haircut Guide

Wanting to switch up your look with a new haircut? Do you always find yourself leaving the salon with something completely different than what you had in mind?! We know the situation all too well… Which is why we’ve put together the ultimate haircut guide that will help get the exact look you want!

HAIRCUT GUIDE – CUTS, STYLES & SALON TIPS

For those unfamiliar with hairdressing terms, it can be pretty overwhelming discussing your new style with your hair dresser. Sometimes, it’s like there’s a real language barrier! Before we get into our guide, it’s important to have a clear idea of the style you desire.

So, let’s break it down and explain each look with our ultimate haircut guide. You can thank us later!

Point cut: Want a more ‘piecey’ look? Ask for a point cut! The point cut is where the hair is cut vertically, rather than the typical horizontal chop. We love the point cut for adding texture to hair, particularly when styled straight.
Graduated cut: this is best explained by the technique. A graduated cut is the process of cutting the hair at a 45 degree angle. This creates the look of added weight, whilst creating structure and movement. E.g cutting a fringe!
Choppy: Similar to a point cut, a choppy cut creates a lot of texture in the hair. The main difference between a choppy and point cut, is that a choppy style is created with alternating lengths of layers.
Asymmetrical: fancy a more edgy look? The asymmetric cut is simply where the hair graduates from long to short. This is ideal for those with shorter styles!
Dusting: Perfect for those who really only want a tiny bit off! In other words, a trim! This is ideal for those who really want to keep their length, but just want to get rid of any dead ends. Dusting cuts the most minimal amount of hair.
Blunt cut: This one speaks for itself! The blunt cut is where the hair is of all one length, and cut usually straight across in a blunt fashion. This style can be sported long or short, and is perfect for making the ends of your hair appear thick & healthy! The blunt cut is slightly more daring!
Thinning: thing is ideal for those with very thick, coarse hair! Although it may seem like the more hair the better, sometimes very thick hair types can carry a lot of weight! To help eliminate bulkiness and allow for easier styling, thinning shears are used to create super fine layers.
Layered: This is the ideal haircut for seamless natural blending when wearing clip in hair extensions!

Remember, it’s also super important to know who’s styling your hair and have a good relationship, and open communication with your stylist! We are confident our haircut guide will have you salon ready & get you the look you desire! So, which haircut do you love?

How to Care for Hair Extensions in Summer

With summer weather in full force, it’s important to ensure you’re giving your extensions a little TLC. Sun, salt and water are just a few factors that can wreak havoc on not only our natural hair, but your clip in’s too! So, we’ve put together our guide on how to care for Hair Extensions in Summer to have beautiful clip ins all summer long.

HOW TO CARE FOR HAIR EXTENSIONS IN SUMMER

Don’t get your extensions wet! This may or may not be obvious, but its the most important tip for how to take care of hair extensions in summer. Sea salt & harsh chemicals in chlorine can seriously dry out your extensions and leave you with a tangled mess. Unlike our natural locks, hair extensions do not have the nutrients and oils to help nourish and restore. Therefore getting your clip ins wet and in turn washing the hair frequently which can seriously shorten their lifespan!
Store correctly to protect from heat & humidity! Humidity is hair’s worst nightmare! Which is why it’s a big no-no to leave your set in a box or in a pile on the ground during summer. Instead, protect your investment with a ZALA Protect Me Bag & Hanger. This is an essential all year round and for long lasting quality! It’s also perfect to keep your extensions silky smooth and prevent knots & tangles.
Summer Hairstyles! Styling your locks in summer appropriate styles not only looks super cute, but protects your extensions from the adversities of hot summer days. The harsh UV rays can take a serious toll on your hair, therefore these easy Summer Hairstyles will protect from the sun and keep your hair off your face. These are also perfect if you can’t stand the thought of abandoning your extensions when at the beach!
Brush frequently from tip to top! When wanting to know how to care for hair extensions in summer, brushing is key! We know, it might sound pretty basic. But, brushing your set a few times a day is super important during summer, as well as all year round. Our ZALA Tangle Teaser is our go-to brush during summer, as it comes in a compact handbag size. It’s super easy to take with you on the go to ensure you are looking after your extensions in summer!
Smooth frizz & nourish! A quick tip when wanting to know how to take care of hair extensions in summer. Hair oil! This is the perfect product to smooth frizz and fly aways, whilst nourishing hair and keeping your set silky smooth. Be sure not to go over board and only apply a very small amount for best results!
Avoid salt spray products! Nothing’s better than beachy waves in summer. BUT, using salt spray on your extensions to mimic the look can be super drying! The ingredients in most salt sprays include alcohol which is sure to dry out your extensions. Not to worry! There are other ways on getting beautiful beachy clip ins. Check out this amazing tutorial below to get the perfect waves for summer. Did we mention, they’re heatless too?! <3

Now you know exactly how to care for hair extensions in summer, you’ve got no excuse for having the perfect summer locks! xx

Sombre Hair

Hellooo sombre! As much as we love the ombre trend, this new more subtle style has definitely taken over! What is sombre hair, you might ask? It’s basically the softer, more subtle version of the beloved ombre. Read on to find out why you need sombre hair in your life <3

SOMBRE HAIR

Whilst we part ways with the ombre trend, don’t fret! Gradient hair is definitely hear to stay (yay)! We love this sophisticated take on the look. But, what exactly is sombre hair? The colour transition is much more gradual to create a super natural look. Sporting the root regrowth trend and fading into a smooth blend of strategically placed highlights and lighter tones. This is of course the more soft version of ombre, where ombre hair would usually start lower down and have much more contrast between shades.

Sombre hair appears grown out and looks slightly unkept, but in the most stunning way possible! The gradient usually starts much higher than the ombre we’re familiar with. This means you can get away with any regrowth therefore less catch up’s at the salon! A lazy girl’s hair dream <3 Sombre suits all shades which means blondes, brunettes and every shade in between! It looks gorgeous on pretty much everyone.

Sombre perfection created with ZALA Tape Hair Extensions Sun Kissed Highlights #10/613

Sombre hair is also perfect way to add highlights or for those transitioning to blonde. Highlights are placed strategically to create a smooth cascade. As the focus is on subtlety, the ends of the hair are typically are a brighter shade of natural colour. 2-3 shades lighter creates the most harmonious look. Think Mila Kunis and Rosie Huntington-Whitely. Both stunners are perfect examples of the sombre trend. Love the look but don’t want to commit? ZALA have got your back 😉 Did you know, you can create a sombre look with ZALA Clip In Hair Extensions?! By opting for a set a few shades lighter than your natural hair, you can instantly achieve that super subtle gradient. Our Snickers #4/12 is ideal for brunettes wanting the look, or for blondes, check out our Honey Beach Highlights #18/613.

What do you think of the sombre trend? It’s pretty hard not to fall in love with! If you’re wanting to create the look instantly, drop our team a message and we can recommend the perfect shade to do so! xx
