The High Ponytail
The high ponytail is a true classic, and it works its magic both on the treadmill and on the red carpet, as proven by many celebrities. If you’re lacking the right amount of volume and length, you can always apply a clip-in wrap-around ponytail hair extension.
The Bubble Ponytail
This is a funky twist added to your regular ponytail. That’s right: this Y2K trend has resurrected and is now breaking the internet, especially thanks to celebrities such as Sydney Sweeney.
The Braided Ponytail
Another take on the classic ponytail, the braided high ponytail is a fierce hairstyle that will show everyone what kind of badass you are. Classy and edgy at the same time, this hairstyle in particular works wonders on dark human hair extensions.
The Messy Bun
Who said that in order to look cool at the gym you have to look like the toughest in the room? Getting back in shape has no pre-fixed aesthetic, and if you prefer a more romantic, artsy style a cosy messy bun is the perfect hairstyle for you. You can achieve this hairstyle with a wrap-around ponytail clip in hair extensions bundled up on itself and secured with a hair tie and a couple of bobby pins or add a one piece top up for extra volume.
Space Buns
What’s better than a bun? Well, two buns. Space buns are a cool, youthful and peppy hairstyle. This look rose to fame around 2014 thanks to internet platforms such as Tumblr, and it quickly became a popular option amongst alternative fashionistas. Nowadays, it’s a common look within A-list celebrities too.
The Spiky Bun
This late 90s/early 00s trend is all the rage on social media, driven by Tik Tok and the generic nostalgia for the millennial “good old days” of flip phones, celebrity love drama and boy bands. And who better than Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo and Bella Hadid could pull off some of the most dangerous looks and trends of that era?
The Claw Clip Updo
In the 90s and early 00s, every household had at least two or three of these hair accessories hanging around on a trinkets tray or in a bathroom drawer; years passed, and the claw clip slowly became a “I need something to put my hair up” accessories.
