Need to impress with a new look for a big occasion? Or, could it be you haven’t yet gone for that fall chop and need a great cover up! No matter the case, today we’ll be revealing ways to boost your braids while wearing Remy hair extensions! If done well, they can add length and volume to limp or short hair in an instance AND look oh-so-natural! Here is how:
1. Clip-in Ponytail – This will give you a full-bodied look. To have your extensions completely unnoticeable, wrap the natural hair around the base of the ponytail. Enjoy your gorgeous, long flowing pony!
2. Try crazy colors – If you find Kylie Jenner’s green and blue ombre dreamy, then why not opt for clip-in extensions to get stunning shades of purple, pink or emerald, instead of bleaching your hair to death! That way, you protect your natural hair and get a totally trendy look with no fuss!

3. Clip in bangs – How many of you have been dying to try bangs but just can’t stand how slow they grow? The bizarre in-between stage can be eliminated with some clip-in bangs that you can easily get rid of when you have had enough of the look.
4. Put in your virgin Indian Remy hair extensions upside down – This trick will also give you volume besides length while wearing your extensions. Dare a more lofty updo and see what happens!

5. Damp before curling – If you want to make an appearance with curly hair, first get the extensions damp and then put the hair into rollers. This will allow them to blend more naturally with your own hair without having that nasty plastic shine that ruins the look. Also, be careful when air-drying the hair extensions to avoid breakage.
6. Wear braid extensions – Senegalese twists, box braids and Marley twists are all styles you can achieve with braid virgin hair extensions. Particularly handy when the temps drop, and you wear lots of scarves and hats and want to keep everything looking tidy and sleek!
7. An impressive bun – Your hair is not enough to fill a perfect bun, right? We feel you. Don’t worry, though, because with a few extensions your topknot can look fantastic!
Additional tips to always look fab wearing your extensions:
1. Prefer to sleep on a silk pillowcase to cut back on frizz and breakage. It will also help your Indian Remy hair look natural, too, especially if you are wearing woven extensions. Also, sleeping with wet hair should be avoided to prevent tangles.
2. Don’t forget to have your extensions cut so that they blend into your own hairstyle beautifully. So, visit your stylist and give them some shape.
3. Always choose the professional that will do the placement carefully. If not placed correctly, they can put enormous stress on the roots and get quite heavy. For that reason, it is important you match your extensions with your natural hair’s density.
Of course, the product you will use will also play a vital role in the appearence of your hair. Here are some must-haves you can consider, as well as some tips to blend your lovely virgin indian hair perfectly!
