Beaded weft extensions can add length or fullness for a range of hairstyles. The styles that suit you depend on your row placement, natural coverage and comfort. Use these eight ideas as references to discuss with your stylist, rather than instructions to change or tighten your attachments.
1. A low updo for a special occasion
A low bun with a few face-framing pieces can show the neckline while keeping the finish soft. Bring a photograph to your stylist so she can check how the rows sit when the hair is gathered and where pins can be placed.
2. Loose waves
Soft waves offer movement through the lengths. Ask your stylist to show you suitable heat settings and product placement for your extension hair. Keep hot tools away from the attachment area and follow your individual care instructions.
3. A straight finish with a side or center part
A straight style can emphasize length and the shape of your cut. Your natural hair and extensions may need different styling attention. Discuss the part you wear before installation, so placement can be planned around it.
4. A loose braid
A side braid or loose fishtail can bring the lengths together. Avoid pulling tightly across the rows. Ask for a demonstration that respects your placement and stop if the style pulls or feels uncomfortable.
5. Half-up, half-down
This option keeps some hair away from the face while leaving the lower lengths visible. How much hair you can gather depends on coverage above your rows. Check the back and sides with your stylist before making it a daily style.
6. A ponytail suited to your placement
A low or mid-height ponytail may be worth discussing if you wear your hair back often. A high ponytail is not a universal option for every installation. Tell your stylist which height you prefer before your placement is planned; do not force the rows upward.
7. Vintage-inspired waves
A defined side part and softly brushed waves can be a reference for an event appointment. Ask your stylist which tools and finishing products fit your extension hair, and allow time for a trial if you want a particular occasion look.
8. A layered shape
A professional blending cut can shape the ends and face frame. Layers do not change the way the extensions are attached. Discuss the cut before removing length, and leave cutting near the attachments to your stylist.
Choose the placement before choosing the style
