Effortless Back-to-School Hairstyles with Hair Extensions

Sleek High Ponytail

The high pony is the ultimate back-to-school hairstyle that has stood the test of time. From silver screen sweetheart Olivia Newton John in Grease to TV icon Betty Cooper in Riverdale, a classic high ponytail has become the cute preppy statement hairstyle that we all know and love. You can study hard and style harder with our clip in Wrap Around Ponytail! This extension is an easy and quick solution to adding instant volume and length to your locks.

Available in three lavish lengths, you can enjoy anywhere from 14 to 24 inches of luxurious hair. For an extra sleek and more glossy finish, you can smooth any frizz or fly-aways with a few spritzes our Moisturising Silky Hair Spray.

Messy Bun with Extensions 

Messy buns are another great option for back to school hairstyles. They’re quick, easy, and ideal for a perfectly imperfect look. To create a messy bun, gather your hair into a high ponytail and secure it with an elastic band. Twist the ponytail around itself to form a bun, then secure with bobby pins. Pull out a few strands around your face to soften the look and add a clip in top up piece up if you want a fuller bun or add a clip in fringe from our clip in extensions collection for extra flair. This hairstyle is perfect for keeping your hair out of your face when studying or while you’re on the go between classes.

Braided Half-Up Style

A braided half up hairstyle will have you feeling like a Prom Queen. For a touch of scholarly sophistication, this back to school hair look is incredible not only for day-to-day school life, but also for a graduation ceremony or big school events and celebrations like prom.

Low Twisted Bun

Also known as a chignon, a low twisted bun is not only practical and stylish, but also highly versatile, bringing a hint of the runway to the classroom. Begin by separating your hair into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck. Delicately twist the ponytail and lift it up into a bun shape, securing it either with pins, a hair band or a pretty flower claw clip. In a matter of minutes, you can transform your short bob into a voluminous bun with the help of our extensions. Your low twisted bun or chignon can also be fashioned in a more edgy way: think a y2k spiky bun with snatched edges!

Classic Straight with a Twist

To recreate this hairstyle, take the sections of the hair you want to focus on and begin to slowly straighten your hair extensions. Before styling, remember to apply generous amounts of our Heat Protection Spray, and always keep your straighteners, curling iron or other heated styling tools on a low to medium heat and no higher than 180 degrees celsius. Any higher, and you could risk damaging your natural hair and extensions if done regularly. If you’re looking to add your own unique or signature twist, why not incorporate some baby braids that frame your face?
