If Elphaba taught us anything, it’s that the sky’s not the limit, especially when your hair is involved. With the Wicked movie finally landing in theaters, every fan is racing to capture that emerald-green, gravity-defying magic. And guess what? You don’t need a broomstick or a spellbook. You just need the right hair extensions.
That’s why we’ve put together this step-by-step guide to creating floaty, feather-light, wickedly beautiful hair using SWAY 100% double drawn remy human hair extensions. Get ready… because you’re about to go green with envy foryourself. Here’s how to float into every premiere, watch party, or holiday gathering with hair that sings.
Preparing Your Extensions for Floaty, Weightless Styling
Start With Clean & Dry Hair
If you want your hair to glide effortlessly through the air, starting with clean, fresh extensions is key. Always make sure your natural hair and extensions are washed and completely dry before you begin styling.
Wet or oil-heavy hair can cling together, weighing your look down and nothing stops an Elphaba-inspired moment faster than limp lengths.
For the best results, wash with the SWAY Hydrate System, specially designed to nourish your extensions without heaviness. It keeps your hair moisturised, smooth, and ready to fly.
Apply Heat Protection
Just like a magical shield, SWAY’s lightweight heat protection spray keeps your hair safe from the intensity of styling tools. It acts as a barrier to prevent dryness and helps your hair maintain its bounce.
Even when you’re aiming for sky-high volume, protecting your strands ensures your extensions stay soft, silky, and ready to dance in the air.
Brush Through Gently
Before starting any floaty styling, your extensions should be smooth, sleek, and tangle-free. Brush through with a paddle brush, beginning at the ends and working your way up to avoid unnecessary tension on your bonds.
Smooth hair = maximum movement.
Every swish. Every sway. Every gravity-defying moment.
Using the Right Tools to Create Weightless, Wicked Movement
AIRE Multi-Styler
If Elphaba had access to beauty tools, she’d definitely have the AIRE Multi-Styler. This all-in-one tool gives you the freedom to create soft, breezy waves or ultra-light curls that float with every step.
-
Use the wand attachment for effortless, airy waves that look natural and free-flowing.
-
Switch to theAuto Wrap Left & Right attachment if you want more definition while still keeping that floating, cloud-like movement.
Both are perfect for building the kind of bouncy, lively hair that moves like magic.
Hair Extensions Temperature
To keep your extensions healthy and weightless, always style at a moderate heat setting - 180 degrees is your sweet spot, hot enough to lock in a style, but gentle enough to protect the longevity of your hair extensions.
With the AIRE Multi-Styler, adjusting heat is simple, safe, and extension-friendly.
Why “Wicked Hair” Inspires Us
Elphaba’s cape doesn’t just move - it floats. That fluid motion, that weightlessness, that elegance… it’s a metaphor for what we want from your extensions. Many hair extensions feel heavy, stiff, or unnatural. But the right ones? They settle like they belong, flowing seamlessly with your own hair. When you move, they flow and when you’re still, they sit softly. That’s the magic we aim for at SWAY.
What Makes SWAY Extensions So Light yet and So Strong
-
Premium 100% Double Drawn Remy Human Hair
Our extensions are made from 100% remy double drawn human hair. This means the cuticles are aligned, producing hair that’s naturally smooth, less tangled, and durable. It’s not just about looking good, it’s about feeling good and lasting long. -
Smart Application Methods
Whether you go for tape-ins, nano-bonds, or wefts, the application is designed to feel as light as possible while keeping a strong, secure hold. For example, our nano bonds are very small with silicone tips, minimising bulk and tension. -
Professional Fitting
To capture that “floating cloak” effect, the fit has to be almost invisible. That’s why our trained stylists ensure your extensions blend naturally and sit comfortably so your hair moves with you, not against you. -
Aftercare System
To keep your extensions feeling as light and soft as the day you got them, we recommend gentle products. Use a paddle brush, wash with our Hydrate Shampoo & Conditioner, and always use a heat protectant when styling.
The Dramatic Transformation: More Than Just Length
-
Volume without weight: If you’re craving fullness but don’t want to feel like your head’s carrying extra bulk, lightweight extensions give you that body plus freedom.
-
Movement that mimics your natural hair: Think wind-swept waves, cascading curls, or sleek straight styles that bounce not sag.
-
Confidence, elevated: There’s something undeniably bold about long, flowing hair that feels like it’s floating. It’s a statement.
-
Versatility in styling: Because our extensions are high quality, you can curl, straighten, and style them just like your own hair, without compromising on comfort.
How to Keep Your “Wicked Hair” in Flight
To maintain that sense of graceful floatiness, here are our top tips:
-
Brush gently and often: Use a paddle brush from the tips up to the bonds or wefts.
-
Use the right products: Stick to the SWAY Hydrate System to nourish without weighing hair down.
-
Style smart: Always apply a heat-protectant and avoid high heat settings above 180°C.
-
Regular maintenance: Book your move-up or reinstallation every 6–8 weeks so your extensions remain secure and your natural hair stays healthy.
