2. Messy Hair Bun

We know you’re green-eyed over your mate with the artfully messed-up, bouncy bun. How? Because we’ve been there too. But take our advice and stop drooling - start recreating. It’s a surprisingly easy hairstyle to replicate!
Take a hair doughnut and wrap your old hair extensions around the doughnut to create a thick, volumised bun. Either glue or pin the ends onto the underside of the doughnut to secure in place. Place it over a ponytail, then wrap your tresses over the top for added thickness. Backcomb your hair and pull out random strands for a sexy, undone look. Your bun mate will be livid.
3: Braided Hairband

We all know one – that smug girl who seems to float wistfully around your neighbourhood with a billowing maxi dress and effortlessly braided crown… how does she do it? Well, she doesn’t. Who has time to braid their crown every day anyway? We’re telling you – it’s a braided hairband.
Good news – you can easily make your own braided crown with used hair extensions. Simply plait the old hair and secure at each end with an Invisibobble. Use Kirby clips to secure the ends underneath your hair at the nape of your neck. Add a few more clips around the crown to keep the braid secure and voila – you’re now THAT girl.
4: Hair Wrapped Bobble

Concealing your bobble with a strand of hair wrapped around it elevates your ponytail from basic to swanky in no time.
But what if your do is more er, rat’s tail than ponytail?
You’ll most likely struggle to loan the extra locks needed to skilfully hide your hair tie. Not to worry, an old extension will do the trick nicely.
Slot a small hair extension (such as one of our Nano Ring Hair Extensions) under the bobble – don’t worry you won’t see this bit – and proceed to wrap the extension all around the bobble for a seamless and sophisticated finish. Secure the ends underneath your ponytail with a clip. No extra natural hair needed!
5: Use to Create Volume
Feeling a little retro? A beehive is in order. But wait… you’re simply not blessed with the kind of bountiful mane required to create a beehive of Bardot proportions – what’s a girl to do?
Create a ‘hair rat’.
Er…. say what!
Don’t worry. We don’t mean create an actual rat out of hair.
Phew! No, a hair rat has been utilised by ladies since the 19th century and it’s since become an industry secret used by anyone requiring a little help in the volumised bonce department. It’s basically a ball of hair placed under the locks on your crown to create impressive height. Here’s how to make one:
• Backcomb your hair extensions and scrunch them into a ball
• Place them into a hair net - your hair rat is now complete!
• Section your locks at the top of the crown and secure your hair rat into place with clips or hairpins
• Comb your own hair over the top and style into a trendy beehive – Brigitte Bardot eat your heart out!
• Store somewhere no one will ever set eyes on it.
6: Make a Clip-in Fringe
This is the perfect afterlife for any of our old weft extensions. Simply clip the weft into the front of your hair, where a fringe would be, and snip into your desired fringe shape.
Not confident with the scissors? Take it to a hairdresser!
For a small fee, a professional would be happy to chop it for you. Tada! You now have a non-permanent fringe, forever. No trims, no awkward growing out stage, no regrets. Clip in when you fancy beautiful bangs – whip out when you don’t! Easy peasy.
