Party Hairstyles With Hair Extensions: Summer Hair That’s Made for Nights Out
There’s something about summer that makes us want to glow. Sun-kissed skin, golden hour lighting, and of course, hair that turns heads.
But humidity, heat, and long days can leave your natural hair looking a bit flat or even frizzy. That’s where SWAY Seamless Clip ins come in handy.
They add length, volume, and keep your hair bouncy all night long. From boho waves to high-glam updos, extensions help you achieve that extra level of wow factor without wasting precious hours at the salon.
Glamorous Summer Waves with Hair Extensions
Loose, flowing waves are the ultimate summer vibe. Think mermaid-inspired, tousled texture that looks like you’ve just stepped off the beach, only more gorgeous.
To get this look using SWAY hair extensions, start with freshly washed and heat-protected hair. Pop in your hair extensions for instant volume and length, focusing on even placement around your head.
Next, grab your curling wand and curl large sections away from your face. Mix it up as you go to get that undone, natural wave.
Sleek and Chic: High Ponytail Power
Looking for a hot, summertime staple that will keep you feeling cool and confident? Look no further than the high ponytail. Whether you are at a BBQ or out partying all night long, this style will last all day and night.
Start by brushing your hair back to the crown or above and make sure that your hairline is smoothed out with a professional paddle brush or oval brush. Tuck your hair up into a strong hair tie, and your look is complete.
Spruce up your ponytail with a little curl at the end or wrap a small section of hair around the base to hide the hair tie. Top it off with a drop of SWAY hair oil or for that glossy and nourished finish.
Volume That Won’t Quit: Bouncy Blowout Styles
There’s nothing quite like a voluminous blowout to make you feel red carpet ready. If you’re looking for the type of bounce and body that will get you through cocktails at sunset and late-night plans, your secret weapon is hair extensions.
Begin by applying The Hair Hero to prep your hair. Clip in your SWAY extensions and then blow dry your hair using an oval brush to smooth and lift each section. Focus on rolling the hair under for that classic blowout curve, especially around the front pieces to frame your face.
The result is a style that’s full of life, glamorous yet touchable, and perfect for special summer occasions.
Easy Half-Up Styles with a Twist
Not quite up, not quite down, the half-up style is effortlessly chic and perfect for summer evenings. It keeps hair out of your face, but still lets you show off your length, especially with extensions.
Put in your SWAY extensions to add some volume to your hair, targeting the bottom half of your hair and the crown. Next, grab the top section of your hair and create a mini ponytail or bun, securing it with a scrunchie, hair tie, or clip.
Curl the ends for some texture or leave them straight for a totally different vibe. This hairstyle is perfect for date night, dinner outside, or when you want to feel dressy on your summer vacation.
Late-Night Looks: Messy Buns and Twists
Don’t let your style hit snooze when the sun does at night. To keep your extensions laid back for those after-hours situations (beach bonfire, late-night walk home, last call at the bar), go for a messy bun or twist at the nape or crown of your head.
Simply gather up the top and/or bottom of your hair and extensions, twist, and pin into a simple bun or knot, letting some wisps fall naturally. The added volume from the extensions make this style instantly “done” even when it’s supposed to be undone. It’s the perfect mix of laid-back and lovely, and still totally Insta-worthy!
Tips for Long-Lasting Summer Hair with Extensions
The worst thing about the best night of your life? Spending hours on your blowout only to watch it deflate two hours into the evening.
When you’re rocking extensions, the goal is for your hair to be full, fresh, and fierce, from your first pic at golden hour to your last dance under the stars. Here are some smart tricks to keep your extensions (and your style) party-ready for days.
Before styling your hair extensions, apply SWAY hair oil to create a firm base for your extensions to sit on. This will make sure they won't fall out while dancing the night away or battling humidity.
Once your extensions are styled, try not to touch them. Avoid playing around with your hair to avoid tangling and losing bounce and shape. A mini mirror is never a bad idea either, because you'll never know when you’ll need to check your glamour on the fly.
