Choosing Hair Extensions To Suit You

/in , , , , /by

Shopping for a new hairstyle can be exciting, but the product needs to look right on you, not just in the store or on the website. Flip-In’s impressive assortment of colours, lengths and styles means you have near limitless options! We can see how choosing hair extensions from this massive list might be intimidating, but never fear, Flip-In is here, to guide you through colours, products and styles.

 

The Practical Side Of Choosing Hair Extensions

We have straight, bodywave, wider, back, lite and spiral curl hair extensions. But which ones to choose? Ringlets? Summery beach waves?

Our extensions, made from 100% human hair, can be curled or straightened normally to suit any occasion, provided you take the correct precautions to protect them from heat. Alternatively, you can style your hair to match the product. If you’re choosing hair extensions for the first time, it might be wiser to pick ones that are a continuation of your natural hairstyle, so you don’t have to worry about seamlessly blending the two.

 

Selecting The Perfect Style

If you’re feeling adventurous and confident in your blending and styling abilities, then it’s time to consider your face shape. None of these are hard and fast rules, but they can serve as an effective guide.

People with oval-shaped faces can generally take their pick of hairstyles, but you should be aware when choosing a long straight extension that they appear to lengthen the face. This can be a strong choice for round faces, as long hair has a slimming effect.

Bodywaves are looser curls, soft and versatile, suitable for round, square, long and triangular-shaped faces. They add plenty of volume without stacking it up around the crown. Bodywave extensions might be a good call if you’re uncertain.

Spiral curls are tight ringlet-type curls. They are very effective at adding volume and a good move for rectangular and heart-shaped faces where you want to increase the face width. Spiral curl and bodywave styles are available for lite, wider, back and original products, attesting to their popularity.

We have our own special solution for fine hair with our Flip-In Lite, if you think our extensions sound too bulky. If your hair is on the thin side, this product was designed especially for you! It’s available in straight, spiral curl or body wave versions and in our full range of colours so, one way or another, we’ve got you covered.

 

Finding The Right Colour

Colours are controversial. Some experts claim that warmer complexions should be reflected in warmer hair colours such as yellow, copper or red, whereas other experts advocate for warm skin tones and cooler hair colours such as green, violet or ash. At Flip-In Hair, we don’t care, so long as you are happy! That’s why we offer a professional colour matching service, so you can know that you have made the right decision.

If you’re at a complete loss, look at your eyes. Blue or grey eyes complement lighter hair, dark eyes suit brunette shades and green eyes go wonderfully with red.

Remember, you can’t tint or dye your extensions without risking damage. Luckily, with 40 different shades to choose from, plus two-tone and tri-blend products, that shouldn’t be necessary.

Easy Halloween Hair

Easy Halloween Hair

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

Halloween is quickly approaching and if you’re anything like us, you aren’t prepared in the slightest. No need to worry though, we have plenty of ideas for easy Halloween hair. Some of them don’t even need a costume to go along with them. How handy is that?!

 

Cat Ears

Listen, we’re well aware that cats are overdone BUT hear us out. Using the Flip-In Ponytail, you can create a cat-ear look with your actual hair. Throw away the boring cat-ear headband and make a little more effort this year.

Who said you couldn’t use your makeup to create an even more exciting look? The best part about being a cat is that you don’t even need to head out and buy an outfit. Everyone has an all-black outfit hiding in their wardrobe for an occasion just like this!

 

Harley Quinn

You’ll need an outfit for this one but it won’t be anything too extravagant. A simple white vest and a pair of denim shorts will suffice. Using Flip-In Flash, create the perfect Harley Quinn Halloween look with our pink and blue colours!

This is a simple Halloween costume to put together and you’ll be able to spice it up with cool makeup. Use pink, blue and white to draw stars around your eyes and wow everyone at your Halloween party.

 

Easy Halloween Hair- Pumpkin

This is an easy-to-do look that requires no special outfit. Use Flip-In Flash (or an orange hairspray) and make a high bun to give your hair a pumpkin effect.

Add a high bun with a hair donut. Use the Flip-In hairpiece or some hairspray to get the perfect colour for that pumpkin effect. Finish with little plastic spiders and a spider’s web to give that creepy-crawly craziness for Halloween.

Real Hair Extensions vs Synthetic Hair Extensions

/in , /by

There are a lot of different types of hair extensions around at the moment and it can be difficult to decide which is best. We’ll be discussing the benefits of both real hair, and synthetic hair to help you discover which type is the best fit for you.

Benefits Of Real Hair Extensions

 

The main benefit of using real hair is that they will always look more natural than synthetic hair. With these extensions, you’ll be able to treat and style your look the same way you would your natural hair. This means there’s no need to worry about using the wrong techniques or products! 

As well as being about to style them with ease, human hair ones will be sure to last longer than their synthetic counterparts. Real halo hair extensions can last around 6-18 months, whereas synthetic extensions will last 2-3 months. Of course, this is only possible if both types of extensions are properly cared for.

 

Benefits Of Synthetic Hair

 

Synthetic extensions are easy to maintain as they come with a style and curl pattern already applied to them. When it comes to restyling your synthetic extensions, all you need to do is wet them with cold water, give them a ruffle, and they’ll go back to their original state. Simple!

When you colour synthetic hair, the results will last for longer as their fibres hold the dye better than real hair does. If you purchase coloured synthetic hair extensions, you don’t have to worry about them fading in a hurry. The cost of synthetic hair is also much lower than that of real extensions. This means you could buy 2-3 different synthetic variants instead of just one made from real hair.

 

Our Opinion

 

In our opinion, we prefer real hair extensions and will always opt for them. Flip-In customers always receive the best quality products and we don’t mess around when it comes to extensions! We absolutely love real hair extensions, how could we not? It’s what we do best! 

All the other benefits aside, you’ll always want your extension choice to look as natural as possible and that is only achievable with human hair. They will feel and look just like your natural hair, just a little bit better. If we’ve convinced you, try out our very own Flip-In Original or for a hint of colour try out Flip-In Flash!

Prepare Your Hair for a Scare

/in /by

Halloween is just around the corner, and despite the latest news regarding lockdown, countless people across the country will still be looking for ways to thrill this holiday. Halloween is a celebration that appeals to almost everyone, as regardless of your gender, age, shape or size, there is always an outfit for you – and let’s face it, it’s a great excuse for most of us to dig out our much-loved fancy dress and have some fun! 

Everyone has their go-to fancy dress outfit, whether it be a theme, character or person that they want to dress up as – however, no fancy dress costume is complete without the matching hair. For most of us, going to a salon is a lot of hassle and can be an expensive process, especially if you are only wanting to rock your look for a single night (as we imagine you are!) 

Flip-In Hair Extensions are the temporary look that you never knew you wanted until now. With these fantastic products, you can transform your image in no time at all and our entire catalogue of extensions can be removed in seconds.

Halloween is your chance to try something new, fun and scary with your hair… if you dare! Flip-In Flash is perfect if you are looking to add a bit of colour to your Halloween outfit, or want to impress a certain someone. Our Flash Extensions are only 12cm wide, so you can add a strip of colour to any part of your hair – whether you want blue, emerald, purple, yellow, pink or any of our other colours, we are here to help! 

You could use our Flash Extensions to channel your inner Billie Eilish and add some beautiful emerald green to your hair, or go for a more traditional look and style yourself after famous characters such as Cruella de Vil with her classic two-tone hairstyle or even Harley Quinn by adding some bold strips of blue and pink!  

Flip-In also offers a ponytail extension if you are looking to add some extra length and volume to your hair. Ponytails are a timeless look that have been worn by many a celebrity and fictional character. With Halloween fast approaching, you might want to try and ignite your inner Britney Spears or Ariana Grande, both of which have had extremely famous ponytails that are essential if you are trying to replicate their looks! 

A Halloween blog wouldn’t be complete without a Disney princess, and who better to style yourself after than Princess Jasmine? Her banded ponytail is extremely recognisable, and if you fancy a bit of a challenge, can make for a truly great Halloween look! 

Happy Halloween!

Look Flip-In Flash for Halloween

/in , , , , /by

Spooky season is fast approaching and with it comes a day full of treats, sweets and of course, fabulous costumes! 

Everyone loves dressing up for Halloween, and whether you want to be a Disney princess or the Joker, having the right head of hair is vital if you want to make your outfit pop. Wigs are good, but hair extensions can take your look to the next level. Below, we’ve compiled some tips for creating a truly horrific (and terrific) Halloween costume, as well as giving a few shout-outs to some of our favourite outfits from last year! 

 

Flip-in Flash Extensions

Extensions are a great way to create a truly special Halloween look this year, and at Flip-In, we have over 30 colours to consider, ranging from traditional blacks and browns to exotic emerald greens, reds or purples. Our extensions are all temporary and easy to fit and remove. There really is no excuse for not rocking Halloween hair this year!

If you are just looking for a flash of colour, then we also offer Flip-In Flash Hair Extensions. These have been designed to add a strip of colour to your natural hair and can be placed anywhere on your head – after all, life is too short to have boring hair! 

Whether you want block colours for a bold look or a mixed colour scheme to get that wavy style you’re going for, there’s something for everyone at Flip-In.

 

Style At Will 

The best part is that all of our products can be styled as you wish. If you want to dye your extensions yourself, then go for it! Fancy curling them? No sweat – you can use heated appliances as you would on your own hair – just make sure you use the same protection you normally would! 

 

Halloween Outfits That You’ll Love 

For blonde extensions: Want to rock some blonde extensions? Barbie, Marilyn Monroe and Alice (from Alice in Wonderland) are all timeless options if you want a fairly hassle-free outfit, and there’s a good chance you could make this look work from what’s already sitting in your wardrobe. 

If you’re after something a bit more complex, you could try and channel your inner Mother of Dragons and dress as Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones. Bonus points if you find some mythical creatures in the process!

For black extensions: Black extensions can be a great way to hone your inner Addams Family – especially if you can recruit a few friends to recreate the whole gang. If you want to be a bit more daring, dressing up as the Prince of Darkness – otherwise known as Ozzy Osbourne – is always a fan favourite.

For red extensions: Red extensions can be a great way to stand out from the crowd! Some of the more popular outfits from last year include Batman’s Poison Ivy and Ariel from The Little Mermaid! If you’re looking to go crazy with the makeup, a character from James Cameron’s Avatar could also be an option! 

 

Happy Halloween! 

Have a happy, happy Halloween from everyone at Flip-In. If you have any questions about our innovative hair extensions, then please get in touch. They really are the perfect solution if you’re looking to switch up your style on the go or want to trial a new look over Halloween.
