How to attach a clip in fringe

by

We've had a few questions about how to attach our I&K Clip In Fringe so I thought it would be good to post this video which shows exactly how to do it! The I&K Clip in fringes are 100% human hair, so if needed they can be trimmed to your desired length and to fit in with your hair style. We also recommend to run straighteners through them slightly when you first get them out of the packaging so that sit perfect when attaching.

Malin Akerman’s Textured Braid

by

This has to be one of my favourite hairstyles at the moment, as it's perfect for Summer but so easy to do and can dress up a casual outfit, or dress an outfit down like Malin Akerman has done. To get the look, all you need is a texturising spray to 'rough' up the hair to give it a more disheveled feel. The best one I've used for this style is Redken's Wool Shale Gel-Slush Texturiser. This spray is amazing, shake it up then spritz on the hair. At first your hair will feel slightly tacky - that's when you mess it up ...
