Preperations

It's important to begin any syle that requires volume with clean dry hair. This allows for your hair to not be weighed down by oils and product buildup.

The key to long-lasting voluminous waves is clip-in extensions. But not just any set of clip-in extensions, but Cashmere Hair's luxury human hair clip-in extensions.

Brush through your natural hair thoroughly to prevent any tangling or tugging which can lead to damaging your natural locks. Once you've detangled, clip-in your extensions as you normally would for an everyday hairstyle. For a detailed step-by-step guide on clipping in you Cashmere Hair extensions, check out the blogs link at the bottom of this blog!

Step-by-Step:

SECTIONING:

-Work in larger segments to get the desired free-form wave.

-Slide the sides to the front and pick up the curling iron and get ready to make loose curls on bigger portions of hair.

CURLING TECHNIQUE:

-Grab a medium sized section with a mix of your natural hair and some of the hair from the clip-in extensions. Mixing the two in each curl will aid in blending the extension with your hair seamlessly

-Wrap the hair around the barrel leaving the end few inches out to create a loose undone effect.

-Hold for just a few seconds to alllow the heat to evenly distrubite throughout the hair

The secret of this hairstyle: The angle of the hair as you wrap it around the curling iron. It should be slightly angled and apply the product at the hair’s base, moving in the same direction to cover the whole head. The hair framing your face should be twisted backward and not forward to help sculpt your face. If you would like more of a voluminous hollywood style curl or wave then you may wrap the hair towards your face.

CONSISTENCY:

-Keep the angle to slightly more than ninety degrees the entire time.

-On the opposite side, twist the elbow as much as possible in order to have the similar angles.

FINISHING TOUCHES:

-The final layer is the hair that lays at the back of the crown, tease it just a little to build volume and spray.

-Section out the teased parts and curl them as you hold the tong, use the similar angle and pulling direction.

-At the top roll and straighten to create volume.

FINAL CURLS:

-For the front sections, split the hair down the middle for a flattering look, especially for those with a wider forehead or flat top.

-Ensure the hair is tight and not loose while curling to achieve a smooth wave.

-Pull the hair forward, root well, and spray it.

SETTING THE STYLE:

-Wait about 10-15 minutes for the hair to cool completely before shaking it out to lock in the shape.

-Use your fingers to comb and blend the extensions with natural hair, ensuring a seamless flow.

-Spray with your favorite texture spray and hairspray to lock in your look

Using a Brand New Set of Extensions?

On occasion, you may notice curling or heat styling your brand new set of clip-ins can be a bit more difficult. This is because it has been sitting in the plastic packaging for an extended amount of time. If your extensions are having a tough time holding a style, you can either wet the extensions slightly with water to bring out the natural texture, or work with a slightly higher heat setting for a longer amount of time to ensure a hold.

Spray with hairspray and pin up the curls to cool for an even more garunteed hold.

Once you remove your extensions from your style, to ensure the quality of your clip-ins and protect your style to last until your next wear, we highly recommend storing your Cashmere Hair in our Luxury Storage Bag. Our newest, most innovative way to store your Cashmere Hair® Clip In Extensions. The perfect accessory that makes traveling with, storing & protecting your extensions with utmost care easy and glamorous. Hanging your extensions from the hanger prevents them from tangling, and it preserves the hairstyle so you don't have to restyle them every day.

Pro Tips

If you follow these 3 tips you are guranteed to perfect these curls every time:

-Ensure that the curls are facing the right direction and that the curling iron is held at the right angle.
