Many Halloween costumes don’t cover up the head, which means you have to find something to do with your hair. This year, instead of making your hair just a part of your costume, make it the focal point. You have an abundance of options to get creative with, especially if you add in some hair extensions to give you more length to work with. Whether it’s simply tying your hair up in a bun and making it look like a pumpkin, creating some Medusa-inspired curls or even creating a full lion’s mane, you have the chance to truly showcase your hair this Halloween. Here are some ideas for making your hair the focal point of your costume.

Colorful Unicorns and Mermaids

Mythical creatures like unicorns and mermaids are popular Halloween costumes. Instead of buying a costume of one of them, create your own and start with your hair. With a little bit of pastel hair paint, some waves, curls and braids, you’ll create a magical hairstyle that won’t cause any damage to your hair. Using hair extensions is ideal for this costume so you have more length and volume to work with. You’ll be sure to impress at any Halloween party.

Pumpkin Buns

The pumpkin bun will be a trendy Halloween costume this year. If you have straight hair, simply pull your hair up into a tight bun on the top of your head. Paint it orange and add some fake leaves and you’ll be in the Halloween spirit in a matter of minutes. The best Halloween hairstyles are the ones you won’t have to alter your quality hair care routine much for, and this is one of them.

Medusa-Inspired Curls

If you’re feeling really creative this Halloween, you can try your hand at a full Medusa-inspired costume. Clip in hair extensions to maximize volume and create voluminous curls that can’t be achieved without them. When you curl your hair, it’s always a good idea to use leave in conditioner beforehand just for added strength and to give it more hold. Incorporate accessories like gold-painted snakes, flowers and other gold accessories to complete your Medusa look.

Curly Lion’s Mane

For people with naturally curly hair, the easy choice for Halloween costumes is a lion’s mane. This looks best if you have tightly-wound curls, but even loose curls would get the job done. Focus on your quality hair care routine to maximize the volume of your hair as much as possible to get the full effect. Then all you need to add are lion ears and face paint and you’ll be ready to go.

RemySoft loves Halloween, especially when we see all the creative ideas people come up with regarding their hair. While it’s fun to get creative with your hair, be sure to keep your quality hair care tricks in mind so you don’t cause more harm than good. Most of the time wearing your hair different for a special occasion like this won’t hurt anything, but feel free to contact us at any time if you have any questions or concerns.

Everyone deserves to have a lazy morning every once in a while. However, many times we have our laziest mornings on days when we still have to look presentable. Having a collection of quality hair care products to help you pull off various hairstyles will have you prepared for any situation. Whether you’re short on time, like to plan ahead or simply wake up not feeling like styling your hair, here are some tricks to help you get out the door looking presentable.

Pre-Curl Your Extensions

When you know you’ll be short on time the next morning, consider pre-curling your shiny hair extensions. Once you curl them exactly how you want them to be, hang them in their original carrier and you’ll wake up the next morning to perfectly styled hair. The great thing about shiny hair extensions is they will often hold their curls or waves for a few days, so spending a few minutes curling them could give you a couple of days worth of great-looking hairstyles.

Try A Messy Bun

Whether you’re a fan of the high bun or the low bun, the messy bun should always be an option when you’re short on time. A messy half-up hairstyle is quick and easy to do if you like a high bun. A low bun looks great when you leave some face-framing strands down the sides of your face. These styles look best on second- or third-day hair after using your great sulfate free shampoo. Giving the natural oils a chance to come out will provide some natural texture and help the hair stay in place better.

Double Your Ponytail

Have you ever wondered how some people have such voluminous ponytails? Chances are they didn’t do anything special except for creating two ponytails and combine them. You may need to incorporate shiny hair extensions if you don’t have enough hair to pull it off, though. It only takes a few extra seconds to make a second ponytail, but the results make it look like you spent hours on your hair.

Apply Dry Shampoo Before Bed

We always recommend using a great sulfate free shampoo when it’s time to wash your hair. However, life sometimes gets in the way and time becomes short. On those occasions, dry shampoo can save a significant amount of time. Simply apply some on your hair before you go to bed and let it go to work absorbing the excess oils while you’re sleeping. Then you’ll wake up with hair that acts like it was washed the night before.

RemySoft is a big believer in having plenty of lazy day hairstyles in your collection. It’s hard to maintain a strict quality hair care routine every day with the busy lives we have, but your hairstyles don’t have to suffer because of it. For more tips and tricks like these, and to learn about what products can enhance your hair, contact us at any time to speak with a hair expert.

The celebrities at the 2019 Emmy Awards were expected to make a statement with a variety of bold hairstyles, and they didn’t disappoint. Some celebrities chose to keep their hairstyle plain and simple, while others took big risks and were rewarded with amazing hairstyles. It’s neat to hear about the quality hair care routine of some of the celebrities and how they were able to pull off such great-looking hairstyles. We are often surprised at how simple their quality hair care routine is, but it gives the average person inspiration to pull off a great look of their own. Here are four hairstyles from the Emmy Awards that impressed us the most.

Angela Bassett’s Voluminous Curls

Angela Bassett’s voluminous curls were worth an award on their own. The amount of volume in her hair was incredibly impressive, and pulling the curls into a half-back position gave it an element of style that’s hard to accomplish. This is one of those hairstyles that is much easier to pull off if you have naturally curly hair, but it’s possible to attempt with the right quality hair care routine and incorporating some hair extensions.

Zendaya’s Long and Soft Waves

There was never a single hair out of place with Zendaya’s soft waves and lengthy hairstyle. The reddish-bronze color was bold, but it worked out perfectly with the hairstyle and wardrobe combination. As glamorous as her hairstyle was, most people can pull it off when they use a quality sulfate free shampoo and hair extensions. Attention to detail and ensuring every strand of hair was in place made this one of the best hairstyles at the Emmys.

Mandy Moore’s Loose Curls

Mandy Moore went with a loose curly hairstyle that had just the right amount of volume. She didn’t use hair extensions to add length, but it appears she may have used them to increase the volume in her hairstyle slightly. The secret to her perfect loose curls was washing with sulfate free shampoo the night before, but not on the day of the event. The day-old hair held the hairstyle in place perfectly.

Emilia Clarke’s Sleek Middle Part

The sleek middle part doesn’t work for everyone, but it absolutely does for Emilia Clarke. Her long hair was perfectly parted in the center of her head and flowed smoothly down her back. The secret to having such slick hair includes always using a sulfate free shampoo to protect the strands and using quality hair care products that won’t damage the hair.

RemySoft looks forward to the Emmy Awards every year because there’s always a new inspiration to gain from them. Even a straightforward and simple hairstyle never ceases to amaze us because it’s clear the celebrities prioritize their hair in many ways. If you got any inspiration from a hairstyle you saw at the Emmy Awards and aren’t sure if you can pull it off at home, contact us at any time and we will discuss the possibilities.

Sometimes a fresh new hairstyle can put a little extra pep in your step and give you some added confidence throughout the day. And the good news is you don’t necessarily have to alter your hair completely to achieve it. With some shiny hair extensions and changing up your part a little bit, you can make a significant alteration to your appearance without making a drastic change to your quality hair care routine. Here are some simple ways to change up your part while using shiny hair extensions.

Deep Side Part

The deep side part is an envied hairstyle because it looks great on just about everyone. If you don’t have long enough hair or would like to add some volume to the part, then shiny hair extensions are your answer. Simply clip in the hair extensions as you normally would, but be sure to create the side part prior to adding in the last couple of wefts. This will increase the volume and make your deep side part much more defined. Pair your deep side part with glamorous accessories and you’ll be ready for any occasion.

Middle Part

The middle part is the most common type of part women use. It’s a versatile and nearly universal part since it looks great on most face shapes, various hair textures and lengths. When adding in your shiny hair extensions, clip them in close to the roots after creating the middle part. The idea is to blend them in with your natural hair as closely as possible. Include some of your favorite hair products for Remy hair and you’ll be set to go for the day.

Flipped Over Part

The flipped over part is a great casual hairstyle you can create with shiny hair extensions. Achieving the flipped over part is similar to the deep side part, with the main difference being clipping the extensions a little lower on the head. Then when you flip the hair over, the wefts won’t be shown and you’ll have a voluminous hairstyle everyone will envy. If you have the quality hair care products to do it, consider incorporating some waves for an even more effortless and relaxed look.

At RemySoft, we love the versatility offered by shiny hair extensions. We talk to many people who are surprised to learn about the different ways they can use extensions other than just adding length and volume. They are perfect for changing up your hairstyle ever so slightly without having to make a permanent change. If you’re looking for more inspiration by using hair extensions, don’t hesitate to contact us at any time for tips and advice.

It’s always a good thing to have a special hairstyle ready to go for your next special occasion. Whether it’s for a romantic event, a fun night on the town with your friends or anything else, your hairstyle should impress, but shouldn’t be difficult to achieve. Sometimes all it takes is incorporating shiny hair extensions to transform your hair into the unique hairstyle you’ve desired. Here are some simple and straightforward hairstyles to consider for your next special occasion.

French Twist

The French twist is the most elegant hairstyle on our list, so it’s great for attending weddings or if you’re going on a romantic date. You can pair it with virtually any dress and jewelry combination, while also adding in hair accessories if that’s your style. Having the right hair products for Remy hair is essential to pull off this hairstyle since you want to make sure every strand remains in place. When you wear it once, it will surely be in your rotation of elegant hairstyles to wear going forward.

Slicked Back Bun

The slicked back bun is the perfect hairstyle to pair with a high-neck dress. The key with this hairstyle is to not have any strand of hair out of place and to make it look as slick as possible. You can add shiny hair extensions if you need a little extra length to make the bun. Otherwise, using hair products for Remy hair that maximizes shine and hold should be all you need to pull off this simple and classy hairstyle.

Wavy and Tucked

A simple hairstyle for people with medium-length hair is to create subtle waves and tuck them behind one ear. Start off by using the best sulfate free shampoo you can find to make your hair easier to work with. You can add in a deep side part if you want to. Otherwise, simply creating beachy waves and tucking back one side is classy and looks great for any occasion and with any wardrobe combination.

Simple Blowout

A good blowout is often a go-to hairstyle for people on their special nights out. Incorporate subtle curls to create a bouncy and free-flowing appearance. You can even take it up a notch and add shiny hair extensions to increase volume. A blowout looks great for virtually any occasion and is always sure to impress anyone you’re with.

RemySoft believes some of the simplest hairstyles are often the most elegant ones. You don’t have to spend hours doing your hair in preparation for a special night out.

Anyone who has worn hair extensions in the past can tell you how versatile they are. Sometimes clipping in extensions when you’re having a bad day is the best way to make your hair look presentable. We all know one of the main characteristics of extensions is to add length, but there are many other things they can do. Here are a few of the different ways you can wear hair extensions.

Stack Extensions

Some people have to stack their hair extensions if they have a smaller head. This technique is also great if you like to wear half-up hairstyles or want to give it a try for the first time. The additional length and volume with stacked extensions can give you more styling options and you’ll love the fullness it gives your hair.

Fold Extensions For Added Volume

This trick is mainly designed for braided hairstyles in which you want to add length and volume. Folding over your hair extensions on top of themselves will instantly add volume so you can show off a nice and thick braid. Clip them in with your natural hair and people may not even realize you’re wearing hair extensions once it gets braided together. Washing your natural hair with sulfate free shampoo will also help make your braided hairstyle look flawless.

Use Extensions To Blend Layers

Anyone with distinct layers knows it takes a good quality hair care routine to make them look great. Hair extensions can help create a seamless blend. You may have to clip them in a few different places to see which looks the best, but it is one of the simplest ways to hide shorter layers and make your hair look more even overall.

Experiment To Find Your Style

The great thing about hair extensions is they aren’t permanent. You don’t have to make major adjustments to your quality hair care routine to make a significant change. In other words, you can be as creative as you would like with your hair extensions, including experimenting with different colors. Creativity inspires confidence and you never know what hairstyle you’ll come across that looks great on you.

At RemySoft, we are big believers in hair extensions. Making drastic changes to your hair can be a little unnerving, so we always recommend starting with smaller changes at first. You have so many different styling options once you have the perfect shade of hair extensions, so feel free to contact us for some tips and advice on how to use them in the best ways possible.

Head wraps and hair scarves aren’t new accessories by any means, but they are one of the latest trends people are turning to when they aren’t sure what to do with their hair. It doesn’t matter what length your hair is, what time of year it is or even if you’re having a bad hair day. Head wraps and hair scarves can come to the rescue and give you plenty of options to help out your quality hair care routine. Here are five ways you can wear them in your hair.

Pigtails

If you’re in a playful mood, going with pigtails is a great hairstyle to choose. Since there are many different colors, styles and patterns to choose from with head wraps and hair scarves, you can pick the one that fits your mood any given day. Sometimes you just have to relax and have fun with your hair and pigtails is the perfect way to do it.

Lengthy and Textured

Whether you have naturally long hair or like to wear shiny hair extensions often, adding in a head wrap or hair scarf can add another element to your hairstyle. Simply leave your hair down and wrap the scarf around the top of your head and tie it at the back of your neck. It’s a great way to change up your routine hairstyle and takes a matter of seconds to accomplish.

Braids

You can braid your hair differently every day of the week if you wanted to. Take it up a notch and incorporate a hair scarf to add even more creativity. Just be sure to follow a good quality hair care routine to keep your hair strong, as putting your hair in tight braids constantly can put stress on the hair.

Gym Hairstyles

Head wraps have always been commonly seen in the gym to help keep hair out of your face as you’re working out. It’s simple and stylish to put your hair back in a ponytail and put on a head wrap, and your hair may still look great even after the workout. Just apply some dry shampoo or leave in conditioner afterward and you’ll be ready to continue with your day.

Top Knot

The top knot is the ultimate hairstyle to go to when you’re in a rush or simply don’t feel like spending much time on your hair. You can spruce up this hairstyle by incorporating a hair scarf around the bottom of the bun. It will look like you put some thought into your hairstyle and can hide any blemishes if you happen to be having a bad hair day.

At RemySoft, we encourage people to be as creative as they are comfortable with. Whether it’s using shiny hair extensions occasionally, head wraps, hair scarves or anything else, sometimes a different accessory is what you need to change things up a bit. For more tips, advice or suggestions, feel free to reach out to us at any time.

Changing up your hair is a great way to keep your appearance looking fresh. One way to do so is by getting your hair colored with dye or incorporating a different shade of hair extensions. However, too many people realize afterward they made a huge mistake when their hair doesn’t look anything like what they envisioned. A big reason for this could be because the hair color chosen doesn’t mesh well with the skin’s undertone. Once you have a better understanding of your skin’s undertone, finding the right color shade is much easier, whether it’s with your hair, makeup, clothing or even hair accessories.

How to Identify Your Undertone

Skin undertones are defined in three ways: warm, cool and neutral. There are many different ways you can identify your undertone if you don’t already know what it is. Take a look at your veins and see what color they are. If they appear to be purple or blue, your skin undertone is likely cool. If they appear to be green, you probably have a warm undertone. 

Your natural hair and eye color can also tell you a lot about your skin undertone. People with warm undertones have red, black or brown hair with hazel or brown eyes typically. People with cool undertones usually have blonde, black or brown hair with green, blue or grey eyes. If you’re still unsure about your skin undertone, your stylist can help you as well to ensure the color of your hair extensions match perfectly.

Hair Colors for Cool Undertones

You can focus on improving your quality hair care routine significantly, but one of the best ways to achieve the look you desire is by matching your hair color with your skin undertone. If you’ve determined you have a cool undertone and have naturally blonde hair, then ash blonde or platinum blonde hair extensions will look great. For brown hair, light brown, cool brown or walnut brown colors are ideal. And for natural black hair, shades like platinum black, jet black or dark espresso are perfect. People with red hair may opt for natural red shades or even a light Auburn color.

Hair Colors for Warm Undertones

If you have a warm undertone and brown hair, colors for your hair extensions may include chocolate brown, golden brown or mocha brown. For black hair, shades of cherry black or another darker shade of black will work. And for blonde hair, butterscotch blonde, golden blonde or strawberry blonde are great matches. Finally, for red hair, Auburn red or a dark strawberry blonde looks amazing.

At RemySoft, we believe any hairstyle is possible with the right quality hair care routine and keeping it healthy by using sulfate free shampoo. One of the biggest mistakes people make with their hair is not paying enough attention to their undertones. To be fair, it often requires an experienced eye to identify the exact shade so you can find the perfect complement to go along with it. We are always ready to help you out with your hair in any way we can, so contact us today if you have any questions.

Ponytails are the perfect hairstyles for the spring and summer months. It’s a quick and easy hairstyle to achieve, and it gets your hair off of your neck to keep you cool. When you add a certain amount of volume and texture to it, you can wear a ponytail for any occasion at any time of year and look wonderful. All it takes is the right hair products for Remy hair and some quality hair care tricks to pull it off. Here are simple steps to achieve the gorgeous voluminous ponytail.

Second-Day Hair Holds Better

You should always be washing your hair with sulfate free shampoo and conditioner to protect your hair and retain the right amount of natural oils. As with many hairstyles, the voluminous ponytail typically holds better on the second day after washing your hair. This gives it time to create some of the oils needed to texturize the hair and hold it together without having to use a lot of hair products for Remy hair. 

Separate Your Hair and Clip in Hair Extensions

Now it’s time to add in the secret ingredient for a voluminous ponytail: hair extensions. Separate your hair into a few different sections and clip in your hair extensions upside down. Clipping them in upside down and in the direction as your ponytail will ensure your roots are protected and you’re maximizing the volume. Feel free to clip in a couple more wefts if you want some more volume.

Pull The Hair Back Into A Ponytail and Secure It

Once your hair extensions are placed appropriately, pull your hair back and secure it into a high ponytail. Tease the layers of your ponytail for some extra volume. You can also clip in another weft or two at this point if you feel like it’s necessary. Brush the hair back smoothly and use quality hair care products to take care of any flyaways that may be present.

Add Some Texture and Accessories

At this point, you’ve already got a slick-looking ponytail, but now you can take it up a notch if you choose. Use a curling wand to curl your ponytail in sections and let the hair hang loose. Tease the ponytail again and add some texturizing hair products for Remy hair and you’ll have the perfect voluminous ponytail. Then you can be as creative as you want with accessories or let your ponytail stay as is in its beautiful form.

At RemySoft, we believe the best hairstyles are often the simplest to achieve. No hairstyle is easier to pull off than the ponytail, but adding volume can take it to the next level. It takes a little more time to add in the hair extensions to create the maximum volume, but it’s well worth the effort. Don’t hesitate to contact us at any time if you have any specific questions about your hair or particular hairstyles like this one.

Some women see hair extensions as a great way to change up their hairstyle occasionally, while others can’t live without wearing their extensions daily. Regardless of your opinion on them, extensions have to be cared for a little differently than your natural hair. This doesn’t necessarily mean they are harder to care for, but the proper care will keep them looking great for a long time. Here are four tips and tricks to extend the life of your hair extensions.

Don’t Wash Extensions As Much As Your Natural Hair

You probably wash your hair with a great sulfate free shampoo every couple of days. Hair extensions don’t produce natural oils like your hair does, so they don’t need to be washed as often. In fact, sometimes a great sulfate free shampoo isn’t even necessary to use when washing them. Using a quality conditioner instead of shampoo may be ideal, and only do so as needed or at least once a month.

Avoid Using Too Many Hair Products

The more hair products for Remy hair you use, the more you’ll have to wash the hair extensions due to product build-up. Find a good product you like that’s free of sulfates and stick with it. If you continue to incorporate a variety of products, you may notice the extensions not looking as shiny as they used to and you might have to replace them earlier than anticipated.

Take Your Extensions Out Before Going To Sleep

Friction is one of the worst things for hair extensions. When you sleep with extensions in your hair, the friction against the pillow can damage them. You may also discover the strands from your extensions get tangled with your natural hair, which can be a mess to brush through in the morning. Extensions are simple to take out and put back in, so be sure to remove them before laying down.

Store Your Extensions Properly

Proper storage for your hair extensions is essential to keep them looking great for a long time. Brush them gently and thoroughly first and then you can hang them or store them neatly in the box they came in. You can also store them in your closet inside an airtight container you have lying around. The main goal is to keep them in a dry and cool place away from direct sunlight to preserve the appearance of your extensions.

RemySoft loves incorporating hair extensions whenever possible. They are so effortless to use, yet they can do so much to transform your hair. Proper care is essential to maintaining the shiny appearance, though, so it’s important to be diligent with your care techniques. If you have any questions about how to wear, store or care for your hair extensions, feel free to contact us at any time.
