10 Stunning Hairstyles with Hair Extensions

Gone are the days of “My hair isn't long or full enough, so I can’t…”

All thanks to hair extensions.

With hair extensions, you can almost achieve any hairstyle with minimal effort, and without making permanent changes. You can rock long hair today, blonde hair tomorrow, and a pixie cut the next day if you so wish.

Aside from the versatility, they also allow you to wear your natural hair with style. So, wearing hair extensions is not always about covering or replacing your natural hair; sometimes it is about complementing your natural hair to achieve your desired appearance.

Think of hair extensions, such as sew-ins, ponytails, tape-ins, and clip-ins. You can create beautiful hairstyles using these hair extensions. Let’s look at 10 beautiful hairstyles you can achieve with hair extensions:

Top 10 Beautiful Hairstyles You Can Achieve with Hair Extensions

Are you in doubt about wearing a hair extension? Are you worried about how hair extensions may look on you or how unnatural they may appear? Whether you want to add length, volume, or incorporate a new color, hair extensions like clip-ins, tape-ins, quick weave, and sew-ins are your best options.

Let’s show you 10 simple and beautiful, natural-looking hairstyles you can achieve with hair extensions.

1. Sleek Straight Hair with Hair Extension

This hairstyle will make you look beautiful anywhere in style without being too much. This hairstyle is simple yet sophisticated. If you are looking for a quick hairstyle that you can achieve with hair extensions, then try this sleek straight hairstyle.

• Your preferred hairstyle will determine your choice of hair extensions. For a quick installation process, glue-on straight hair weave will be perfect.
• If you want to achieve this look with your natural hair leave-out, try a v/u part wig.
• You can go further to make your hairstyling even more versatile by incorporating sew in with lace frontal.

2. Stitch Braids with Hair Extension

Have you ever seen a beautiful stitch braids hairstyle, and you are like, “...I want this too”?

We’ve all been there. Stitch braids are gorgeous, but do you know you can install them in a few minutes? Yes, you can. All thanks to hair extensions.

• You can achieve this exact look quickly with curly hair weaves. All you have to do is braid cornrow in front of natural hair and do curly sew-ins at the back.
• Alternatively, you can use braided hair with a clip-in or tape-in combo. This way, you use the braiding hair to make the stitch braids, then attach the clip or tape-ins beneath your natural hair for a clean finish.

3. Lightweight Bangs

If you are looking for a hairpiece to quickly transform your look, try wearing bangs. Bangs are bold and beautiful. You can wear a human hair wig with bangs or add a ready-to-use clip in bangs hair extension to elevate your natural hair and add style.

If you are a natural hair “girlie”, you can throw on soft bangs to switch up your look for special occasions. There are different types of bangs; curtain bangs are best if it is your first time.

4. High Ponytail with Hair Extension

Tell me about a list of all-time winning hairstyles, without mentioning the high ponytail. You can hardly show up wrong for any event, wearing a high ponytail.

This hairstyle looks good on almost anybody at different levels (kids, young adults, and even the elderly). As timeless as this hairstyle is, it can also be achieved easily.

If you love wearing a high ponytail, but feel like your hair is not long or thick enough, worry no more. You can achieve this hairstyle in minutes using ponytail hair extensions. All you have to do is:

• Sleek down your natural hair in a small top bun.
• Use holding gels for a smoother finish and better hold.
• Attach your ponytail hair extension.

That’s it!

Alternatively, you can install a 360 lace front wig and wear it in a high ponytail or add clip-in and tape-in hair extensions to add length and volume to your natural hair, then put it in a high ponytail hairstyle like this one.

5. Crown Braid with Hair Extension

If you are looking for beautiful updo hairstyles that you can rock regardless of your hair texture, then try crown braids. Just as the name implies, this hairstyle has a regal effect because of its simplicity.

The best hair extension that you can use to achieve this hairstyle is the braiding hair extension. The good thing about this hairstyle is that it is quick to install. You can also achieve this hairstyle by adding a tape-in human hair extension (just be careful around the point of the tape-in).

6. Low Buns with Hair Extension

Do you agree that low bun hairstyles have this sophisticated feel to them? You just immediately look put together (like you look like a million-dollar girl).

Low buns don’t just look sophisticated and clean, they are easy to achieve. Do you know that you can get pre-styled buns that you just attach to your natural hair? Yes, you can.

If you don’t want that, you can easily create your unique bun by styling your wig in a low bun or adding a ponytail hair extension and styling it in your favorite low bun hairstyle.

7. Half-Up, Half-Down Hairstyle

If you want to create the effect that keeps people wondering whether or not you are wearing your natural hair or hair extensions, try the half-up, half-down hairstyle.

You can easily achieve this with weaves (sew-in or quick weave). Alternatively, you can style your frontal wig in this style, but it looks more realistic with a sew-in human hair extension.

8. Waterfall Braid Hairstyle with Hair Extension

Don’t you just love the waterfall braid hairstyle? This hairstyle is perfect for the spring season (throw in some roses for a refreshing look). Pairing the waterfall hairstyle with a crown braid is a good combo.

The tape-in hair extension is the best choice for this hairstyle. It allows you to easily create the waterfall effect and still look natural. Just make sure you tuck in the braids carefully and do not reveal the tapes.

You can also achieve the waterfall hairstyle with a wig. Just make sure the stylist understands what you want to achieve. Your choice of heat styling tool to create the flowy effect will determine how the hairstyle will turn out.

9. Long Kinky Hair

Who doesn’t like the texture of kinky hair without shrinkage?

Kinky hair is beautiful, but leaving your kinky out in all its glory can be daunting. You want to reduce the possibility of potential damage or deal with extreme shrinkage. Hair extensions to the rescue again.

A clip-in kinky hair extension is one of the best options for this hairstyle (if you want a quick fix). For a more protective approach, a long kinky straight wig is all you need to show up looking like the queen that you are.

10. Peek-a-boo Hairstyle with Hair Extension

What do you think is the best way to experiment with colors on hair? We say wear high-quality, colored human hair extensions.

If you have always worn a specific hair color, changing your hair color is definitely a great way to elevate your look or add some spice. Bleaching/dying your natural hair regularly can cause damage.

To avoid subjecting your hair strands to possible damage, you can experiment with all your dream hair colors, wearing hair extensions. The hairstyle you want to wear will determine how you incorporate colors into your hair.

If you want a gradual process, you can try out a peekaboo hairstyle like the one in the picture above. You can easily achieve that with a clip or tape-in. If you want to incorporate colors boldly, you can just throw on a wig in your best color.

How about trying a ginger-colored wig?

We have noticed that ginger-colored hair seems to look good on almost every skin tone. If you want to try a cooler color, try the Burgundy or 99J hair colors. These hair colors work almost all the time. Give them a try and thank us later.

There are different types of hair extensions. Your choice of hair extension is determined by your choice of hairstyle. You know if you need a:

● Clip-in

● Tape-in

● Topper

● Ponytail

● Braiding hair

● Or weave

If you have a good understanding of the hairstyle you wish to achieve. For example, if you need to show up for an event, and you have just 30 minutes to get ready, then adding a ponytail extension to your sleek down natural hair is the best way to go in this situation.

However, we have given you a list of 10 easy and beautiful hairstyles you can achieve with hair extensions.
