  1. After colour matching, prep hair extensions such as the 18-inch Hidden Crown Original Clip Ins with a heat protectant (e.g., Joico Defy Damage Pro Series 1).
  2. To create dimension in the hair, apply Joico’s BlondeLife Powder Lightenerand LumiShine Demi Liquid to the hair.
  3. Apply a volumizer to the roots of the hair while drying. Use a round brush to create more volume at the crown.
  4. Apply a shine serum or cream from roots to ends for extra smoothness and shine.
  5. Attach three clip-in extensions to the back of the hair to add fullness.
  6. Secure hair with an elastic band and hairpins.
  7. To finish off the look, pinch out tendrils around the perimeter of the hair for added softness and spray a hairspray throughout the hair to maintain a hold, lift and volume.

  1. Prep hair with a styling mouse such as the Healthy SexyHair Fresh Hair Air Dry Styling Mousse and add clip-in extensions (e.g., the Irresistible Me Invisible Clip-In Hair Extensions #1b-2-4 dark ombre). Place extensions further back from the crown leaving out at least one and a half inches from the hairline.
  2. Add in Big Sexy Hair Powder Play Volumizing & Texturizing Powderto loosen the hair up and bond the extensions to the hair for a seamless look.
  3. Apply a holding gel and pull the hair into a ponytail (e.g., Style SexyHair Hard Up Hard Holding Gel)
  4. Twist one-inch sections of the ponytail and loop them all together to make a structured bun, pin in place. Apply Big SexyHair Spray & Play Volumizing Hairsprayto keep the bun and hair secure.
  5. To finish the look, add a styling paste to keep the flyaways down.

  1. Add a mixture of oil and cream to damp hair and blow dry hair with a paddle brush. Direct hair off of face and behind ears.
  2. Use a flat iron to smooth the hair without straightening the ends completely.
  3. Add a little flip to the ends of the hair.
  4. Once the hair is smooth, set it in place with a gel and cream mixture. Rake into hair to create a hydrated wet look.
  5. Add a shine spray and clip hair to dry and set without flyaways.
  6. When the client is ready to go, remove the clips and go through the hair with a high shine spray and a super hold hairspray. Clean up the edges of hair around the face with a small detailing brush. Add one final spritz of hairspray for maximum hold.

  3. Once hair is dry, apply a hair clay such as the STMNT Dry Clay and layer in a pomade on top such as the STMNT Fiber Pomade.
  4. After layering, cocktail the two products and emulsify into palms. Add it to the front sections to piece hair out.
  5. Finish the look with a hairspray to hold everything in place.
