Alright, fashionistas! Summer is right around the corner, which means it’s time to shake up your style and prepare for sunny days and balmy nights. Summer is all about fun in the sun, beach trips, festivals, and those long, warm evenings that call for easy, breezy hairstyles. But let’s be real – summer heat can be brutal, and no one wants to fuss with a high-maintenance look when the sun’s out in full force!

Here are some effortless, fun, and fabulous hairstyles (with hair extension tips!) to keep you looking (and feeling) cool all season long.

1. The Classic Messy Bun – It Never Gets Old!

The messy bun is easy, cute, and takes just a few seconds to whip up. Its beauty is in the imperfections – it’s meant to be loose, soft, and a bit untamed, just like summer itself! If you have extensions, consider leaving a few pieces out for added volume around the bun for a beachy, undone vibe.

Pro Tip: Add face-framing strands and finish with a spritz of texturising spray for that just-left-the-beach look.

2. Braids – Festival Season Approved 🌻

Braids are summer hairstyle heroes, especially for those with extensions! Extensions allow you to create thicker, more intricate braids, adding length and volume to classic styles like French or fishtail braids. Braided pigtails are playful, while a single loose braid keeps it chic and relaxed.

Pro Tip: Weave in delicate flower clips or shells to your braid for extra bohemian flair.

3. Beach Waves – Because Who Doesn’t Want Mermaid Hair?

Whether you’re at the beach or not, beach waves scream summer. Extensions can help you achieve those enviable long, voluminous waves, even if you’re working with shorter hair. Just braid your damp hair with extensions in, sleep on it, and undo for soft waves.

Pro Tip: For extra volume, flip your head upside down and scrunch with mousse or texturising spray.

4. The Low Ponytail – A Touch of Glam ✨

The low ponytail is simple, chic, and oh-so-stylish. Extensions can add body and length, taking this look from simple to glamorous. Use a cute scrunchie or tie a ribbon around your ponytail for an elegant touch.

Pro Tip: Part your hair in the middle and keep it smooth for a sleek, sophisticated look.

5. The Half-Up, Half-Down – Best of Both Worlds 🌞

Can’t decide whether to leave your hair down or pull it up? The half-up, half-down style is perfect for balance. Extensions make it easier to add volume and length to both sections, giving you a fuller look.

Pro Tip: Try a half-up bun or twisted half-up style and secure with a summery barrette.

6. Scarf Styles – Make a Statement 🧣

Hair scarves are perfect for summer and add a splash of colour to any look. Wrap a scarf around your bun, tie it as a headband, or even weave it through a braid. If you’re wearing extensions, a scarf can help blend and secure the extensions while adding a trendy vibe. Pro

Tip: Choose light, breathable fabrics to stay comfy in the heat.

7. Pixie Cuts & Short Bobs – Bold & Carefree ✂️

For those committing to a shorter summer style, hair extensions are great for switching things up if you want added length occasionally. Clip-in extensions allow you to go from short to long in minutes, giving you a fun, flexible look.

Pro Tip: Use styling wax to add texture and keep it looking effortlessly stylish.

8. The Wet Look – Like You Just Stepped Out of the Ocean 🌊

The wet look is glamorous, modern, and easy to pull off. Use a gel or mousse on damp hair and slick it back. Extensions add length and volume for a striking look, especially for beachside dinners or night outs.

Pro Tip: Try a lightweight, non-crunchy gel to keep it looking sleek.

9. The High Ponytail – Sleek & Sassy 💃

A high ponytail shows off your collarbones and keeps hair off your neck. Extensions add length and thickness for that model-off-duty look. Wrap a small section around your hair tie to give it a polished finish.

Pro Tip: Extensions will add instant volume, so your ponytail will stay perky all day.

10. Butterfly Clips – The ‘90s are Back!

Butterfly clips add whimsy to any style, whether it’s braids, ponytails, or a half-up look. If you’re using extensions, clips can help hide any seams, keeping your look flawless while adding some retro fun.

Pro Tip: Choose pastel clips for a sweet vibe, or mix and match colours for a bolder look.

So there you have it – some of the trendiest summer hairstyles with extension tips to help you slay all season long! Summer hairstyles should be simple, fun, and flexible – just like the season. Whether you’re hitting the beach, going out for a night on the town, or lounging by the pool, these styles have you covered.

If you're ready to add length and volume, Superior Hair Extensions has premium hair extensions options that blend seamlessly for any look.

Everything you need to know about Superior Hair Halo Extensions

  Our Halo hair extensions are an easy 3 step process to achieve your most beautiful hair desires. They’re very straightforward and easy to use, especially if you’re on the go or are a first-time extension user. Halo extensions are essentially a thin invisible nylon wire that sits on the top of the hair and are secured by clip ins on both sides of the head.  In comparison to clip in hair extensions they don’t require as much time to install as there’s less clips to secure. Our Halo extensions weigh 180 grams, come in a range of 26 different colors and are currently only available in the 20” inches. What hair type are they most suitable for? Our halo extensions are most suitable for medium to thick hair, and hair length that is slightly passed the shoulders.  Is it secure?  To make sure you have the right fit, the nylon string comes in 6 different sizes: xs, s, m, l, xl, xxl. Choose the right size of string for you so that it fits snug to your crown and doesn’t fall off. Be wary not to fit one that’s too tight either. Aside from the string, you also have clip ins on the side of your halo piece to keep it even more secure.  The 3 Simple Steps to installing your Superior Hair Halo Extension: Step 1: Prepare your hair With a tail comb or even just your finger section the crown of your head and clip it away on the top of your head to keep and hair from falling into your face.Step 2: Install the Halo PiecePlace your halo piece around the section you’ve parted on your crown. Make sure the nylon string is nice and snug; if it isn’t snug or is too tight you might have to change the size of your wire. Secure the halo piece with the clip in attached on each side of the head. Step 2: Install the Halo Piece Place your halo piece around the section you’ve parted on your crown. Make sure the nylon string is nice and snug; if it isn’t snug or is too tight you might have to change the size of your wire. Secure the halo piece with the clip in attached on each side of the head.   Step 3: Install the side pieces Now, if you’ve come to this step, you may find that you don’t necessarily want more volume in the front which is totally fine. You can skip this step. But if you do want more volume at the front to match back, you can use the additional clip ins. Secure the clips ins on each side of the head, keeping in line with nylon wire. You’re all done now! Make sure to brush out to blend all the pieces and style however you want!

Men’s Hair Topper Style Tips for a Natural Looking Hair System

There are plenty of ways men can tackle thinning hair. One of them is with hair toppers. While wearing a hair topper may seem unnatural initially, the right styling strategies can make yours appear effortless and natural. At Superior Hair, we ensure you never lose self-confidence while wearing our hair toppers.Hair toppers require just as much styling as real human hair. That's why we offer hair replacement systems made from 100% human hair, giving you the flexibility to try many hair topper styles. Here are our top tips for styling our men’s hair topper systems so you can achieve the best, most natural, and discreet hair solution. Stick to air dryingWhile it can be tempting to dry your hair faster after a shower, heated styling tools can damage your hair strands. Whether styling synthetic or natural hair systems, we recommend air drying or using lukewarm water to wet set curls to keep them looking healthy and softer for longer. Use a specialty brush or combMost men manage to go about their day without brushing their hair. But you’d be amazed just by how much brushing can do to bring out your hair’s lustrous shine. Brushing your hair can significantly reduce frizz and improve hair texture. Invest in a specialty brush or comb that effectively smoothens out and detangles hair without pulling. A soft boar bristle brush contains natural sebum, the same oil produced by the scalp, that acts as a natural conditioner you can evenly distribute by brushing your hair.   Invest in good styling productsAfter brushing, you want to make sure the style stays that way. To keep your hair firmly in place and looking fresh for longer is through styling products designed to keep your hair hold its shape! Remember, human hair systems such as hair toppers do not moisturise the same way as your hair. Therefore, choose moisturising and alcohol-free products to prevent unnecessary dryness and damage.   Add some colourIf you want to try something new, why not mix things up by changing your hair colour? Human hair systems are far easier to colour than synthetic hair strands. Plus, synthetic hair strands can only be darkened, not lightened. On the other hand, human hair toppers go through the same hair dying procedure as normal hair so even with a change of colour or variance in colour blending, you can still achieve the most natural-looking coloured hair. Professional stylists can help you dye or colour a human hair system to achieve the best results.   Shop the best hair toppers in NZ at Superior Hair Give yourself the confidence boost you need with high-quality hair systems that make every day a good hair day! At Superior Hair, we offer ready-to-wear hair toppers for men and women that you can wear and style immediately. But we can customise a solution if you struggle with a specific balding area. Our team designs and creates hair systems perfect for nearly any hair type, density, texture, and colour. We will fit the hairpiece for you, cut and style it!
