Updos are where hair extensions are really put to the test. Anything wrong with the placement shows at the nape as soon as the hair is lifted.
Tell us before the installation
If you know you often wear your hair up, mention it at your consultation. We'll then place the bonds lower and leave a free section at the very bottom of the nape, so nothing gives you away when you gather your hair up.
Three styles that always work
- Low bun: the most forgiving of all – hides the bonds completely
- Half up: the ends show off the length, the top section hides the blend
- Side braid: the extra thickness from the extensions really comes into its own
A high ponytail – is it possible?
Yes, but the installation needs to be planned for it. With a lace frontal or with bonds placed low, it works brilliantly. With standard placement, the top row shows when the hair is pulled up high.
Little tricks
- Lightly backcomb at the roots before putting your hair up – it holds better
- Use hairpins in your own hair colour, not black ones in light hair
- Never pull tight over the bonds – it causes headaches and wear
