Day to Night Summer Hairstyles with Accessories

Summer in the UK means one thing: blink and you’ll miss it. So when that heatwave hits and your social calendar fills faster than your iced latte, your hair needs to work as hard as you do. Brunch by the beach? Check. Day festivals with friends? Of course. Last-minute drinks at that rooftop bar? Obviously. But you don’t always have time for a full hair makeover.

Straight from our sun-drenched summer shoot, we’re giving you the inside scoop on the season’s most wearable hair styles for the summer… all created with Cliphair extensions and finished with accessories that will give you your hottest hair yet. Whether you’re vibing with flower claw clips for your Santorini getaway or layering in gold hair accessories for a Soho soirée, this guide is your passport to effortless hair all season long!

Your Hottest Hair Yet: 2025 Summer Lookbook 

Clip in extensions are our holy grail for a reason. If you're hopping from hotel to happy hour or simply squeezing a shower between sightseeing and sangria, your hair will blend seamlessly, hold its style all day, and offer serious glam with zero damage.

Beachy Waves

Let’s start with a true summer classic: beachy waves. It’s the go-to hair style in summer for a reason. Easy, tousled, full of movement, and always Insta-ready. For this daytime look, we styled our gorgeous brunette model Anna using our 20” Ultra-Volume Clip In Extensions in Light Brown #6. These beauties add serious body and length that looks like you’ve just stepped out of a Bondi beach club. To give it that undone-but-done feel, style using a large-barrel curler and wave comb for that effortless bounce.

Summer tip: To keep those waves looking fresh until evening, lightly spritz your extensions with our Heat Protection Spray. Just like skin, your hair (and extensions) need protection from the sun to avoid dryness and colour fade. Our Deep Moisture Hair Mask or a lightweight hair oil can also keep ends nourished on those hotter days.

Dancefloor Drama

Blonde bombshell Collette is giving us full festival fantasy with this look. Using our 24” Seamless Clip In Extensions in the dreamy blend of Barbie Blonde #16/60, we created dramatic long mermaid waves using a hair waver that cascade softly down her back. This style is easy to manage and refresh with finger combing and some sea-salt or Moisturising Silky Spray for extra shine and texture. With clip-in hair extensions adding that luxurious length, Collette’s ready to own the dancefloor or clink cocktails on the sand.

Summer tip: Festivals and beach parties mean long hours in the sun. Gently detangle your extensions after each wear with a Detangling Brush and avoid excessive product build-up by using a sulphate-free Deep Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner on the mids to ends. Store clip-ins and permanent extensions in our breathable Hanger and Carrier to keep them frizz-free between uses.

From Poolside to Party-Ready: Hair Accessories

Gold Hair Accessories

If you invest in just one trend this summer, make it gold hair accessories. They’re elegant, instantly elevate your look, and can easily take you from day to night. From dainty starfish pins to seashell clips, they work with every hair style summer throws your way.

How to wear them:

• Tuck gold starfish or shell pins into one side of a deep side of middle part to channel a beach goddess vibe – perfect for seaside dinners or coastal weddings.
• Weave delicate gold chains or into a half-up style for a romantic, Grecian-inspired look – especially striking with our hair extensions for added fullness.
• Add a gold hair cuff to a high ponytail for an edgy, high-fashion twist that transitions effortlessly from day to night.

Flower Clips

And let’s not forget flower claw clips and floral accessories. They’ve been having a major moment the past couple of summers. If you’re dressing up for a destination wedding or down for a casual beach day, there’s definitely a flower-powered option for you.

How to wear them:

·       Go bold with a statement flower clip for weddings or evening events. Push it slightly behind the hairline with flowing curls for maximum impact and drama.

·       Secure a pastel flower claw clip at the back of a half-up style to keep things casual but cute for sightseeing or brunch. Bonus: it’s gentle on extensions and helps avoid breakage in the heat.

·       Pair mini flower pins with milkmaid braids or a loose crown braid. Add some texture or medium hold hairspray to keep the look soft, not stiff.

Summer tip: If you’re swimming, make sure to braid your natural hair and keep your clip in extensions out of the water. Carefully store them away or craft them into a cute updo while you go for a dip. Always brush gently and avoid tugging when wet – your locks will thank you later!

Hair Extensions: All About The Versatility

Our Remy hair extensions are made for movement, meaning they can be worn with bandanas, hats, headscarves, and much more. From top up pieces to clip in ponytails to long-lasting permanent hair extensions, there’s something for everyone this summer!

Planning a city break? Try a low pony with a silk ribbon and a Wrap-Around Ponytail extension for that clean girl aesthetic. Off to the countryside for a day at the vineyard? Half-up half-down styles with a vibrant headscarf will truly bring the cottage-core vibes to life.
