CREATE GLAMOROUS HIGHLIGHTS

With This Easy To Follow Guide You Can Add Highlights In No Time!

This tutorial is all about easily spicing up your natural hair by bringing in daring highlights with a healthy dose of glam!

 

Every now and again, I get caught up with work or family and fail to even realize how completely boring my hair routine has gotten. I have literally gone months with the same hairstyle! But really, if I’m honest about it, there is absolutely no reason I can’t have great looking hair and still get everything else done. So, this tutorial is all about easily spicing up your natural hair by bringing in daring highlights with a healthy dose of glam!

Another great thing about using clip-in extensions is that you don’t have to damage your own hair with harsh chemicals or spend hours at a salon. Oftentimes, you end up not even getting the color you asked for! With Estelle’s clip-ins you can pick your color, length, and create all your favorite styles, hassle-free. So, if you have your clips-ins ready to go, let’s get started!

  • Your natural hair of course!
  • Your choice of Estelle’s Secret Clip-In Hair Extensions
    4- three clip pieces
    2- two clip pieces
    4- one clip piece
  • Curling wand-medium sized gives great results but this is totally your choice
  • Hairspray

IF YOU HAVE EVERYTHING, BRING ON THE GLAM!

* Just as a note, to apply your highlights, you will be working with 3 parts of your hair: each side and the back half of your head.

STEP 1: BACK HALF FIRST

Let’s work with the back half first so go ahead and put the sides into an elastic band or clip to keep them out of the way.

* You will be using the three clip pieces for this section.

STEP 2:BOTTOM PART

Ok, start by making a part at the bottom leaving out about an inch of your natural hair, pin up the rest while you apply the first three clip piece.

STEP 3: ADD THREE CLIP PIECE

Add your first three clip piece.

*I recommend brushing between each layer to help blend the colors and to keep the hair nice and neat.

STEP 4: NOW YOUR HAIR

Add another layer of your natural hair.

STEP 5: REPEAT

Repeat this process until you have used all 4 three clip pieces.

* Time to move to the sides! For each side, you will be using 1 two clip piece and 2 one clip pieces.

STEP 6: FIRST SIDE

On one side, starting at the bottom, leave out a couple inches of your natural hair.

STEP 7: TWO CLIP PIECE

Apply 1 two clip piece to your hair, don’t forget to brush between each layer!

STEP 8: YOUR HAIR

Add another layer of your natural hair.

STEP 9:ONE CLIP PIECE

Apply a one clip piece, then add more of your natural hair, and finally one last one piece clip.

STEP 10:OTHER SIDE

Repeat the same process on the remaining side.

STEP 11: BRUSH AND BLEND

Brush all the hair together blending the colors for a smooth and sleek look.

GLAM-UP UP BY ADDING SOME CURLS!

Let’s finish up this look by using your curling wand add some curls making sure to curl away from your face. The best way to make sure the curls don’t turn around on you is by holding them in place for a minute while they cool. When you curl away from your face in this way, the results are a glamorous, open, and highlighted look. Once your curls are all cooled and set, add your own flare by brushing and teasing the curls to your liking!
