Hairstyles To Watch Out For In 2022

/in , /by

It’s 2022, which means we have another year of trends to keep on top of! And even if you don’t fancy trying out the latest trending hairstyles in 2022, there’s no time like the new year to refresh your look!

Feeling overwhelmed? The Flip-In Hair team is going to share everything we know about what you should be looking out for in 2022 when it comes to your new ‘do.

 

Hairstyles 2022

Brand New Hairstyles For 2022

 

So, you know what a bob is and you’re familiar with a pixie cut, but have you heard about the bixie cut? Yep, you read that correctly! These two iconic hairstyles aren’t just back and better than ever, they’ve joined forces! We do not doubt that this hybrid ‘90s style is going to be absolutely everywhere in 2022, so why not get ahead of the game?

This is the perfect hairstyle for those who don’t fancy committing to a pixie cut but still want to add some edge to their look with a shorter haircut. If you find yourself growing out your beloved pixie cut, this is a great transitional look to ease yourself into having longer hair again. 

The bixie cut is all about embracing layers and using your hair’s natural texture to your advantage, making it ideal for those with naturally curly or wavy hair. If your hair is on the straighter end of the spectrum, you can make this retro vibe work for you by introducing products like sea salt spray and texturising paste into your routine.

 

Bringing The ‘70s Hairstyles To 2022

 

As you may have already noticed, this year is all about throwbacks and bringing long-forgotten hairstyles back onto the scene. This time, we’re going to take you even further back, all the way to the ‘70s. During this time, long hair with a shorter fringe was what anyone who was anyone would wear. Don’t worry, we’re definitely not suggesting you go for a micro fringe, unless you want to, of course!

To emulate this look for yourself in 2022, opt for a long, slightly layered cut with a fringe that frames your face to add some softness to it. When it comes to your parting, it’s best to wear it in the centre to show off your beautiful, even layers. 

If you have thin hair and you find yourself dreading how longer layers might work for you, you can use Flip-In Hair Lite to give your hair the body it needs to pull off these hairstyles for 2022, without it weighing you down. 

Or maybe you’d rather go for Flip-In Hair Straight if you don’t have thick hair but would still like some more to work with? Whatever you choose, we have something for you, and with no clips, glue, or weaving, it’s easier than ever to switch things up!

Sun Damaged Hair

What You Can Do To Avoid Sun-Damaged Hair

/in , , /by

The gradual easing of restrictions, no longer needing to wrap up warm, a potential return to – whisper it – life as we know it?

Whilst there’s much to be celebrated as we move into spring, one thing that we do need to be mindful of is the impact that the sun can have on our hair. Heat styling isn’t the only thing capable of frazzling our gorgeous locks, you know!

 

How Can The Sun Damage Our Hair?

Even though most people are aware of the dangers of sun-damaged skin, considerably less are in the know about what the sun can do to our hair. In fact, when we spend too much time basking in its glory, we may experience discolouration, brittleness, bleaching and an increase in split ends. Hair that has fallen victim to sun damage will also become almost impossible to manage – and most commonly affects those blessed with fairer or lighter hair colours.

 

Why Does Sun Damage Occur?

Sun-damaged hair occurs because of how the sun’s rays react with a natural substance known as melanin. When strands of hair are exposed to heat, they can change colour, lose elasticity and become weaker in structure. All of this can set the stage for lasting damage, sunburn and a big ol’ dip in confidence.

What You Can Do To Avoid Sun-Damaged Hair

Fortunately, there are many precautions you can take to reduce your risk of sun damage. Here are some of our favourites!

  • Suitable headwear: Before we even get into products that we recommend to protect your hair and scalp, the first thing we’d advise you to do is to wear a hat whenever you go outside. This is similar to why you would wear clothes that cover your skin when you know you’re going to come into contact with the sun. Hats not your thing? Try using a headscarf or umbrella instead.
  • Proactive haircare: All good hair care starts in the shower, so make sure you invest in a decent conditioner or pre-conditioning shampoo to get the ball rolling. Using these sorts of protective products will give your hair a fighting chance against the sun’s rays and also boost its moisture levels at the same time. As the warmer weather can increase the rate at which we sweat, these moisturising products are especially important to use during the spring and summer.
  • Use an SPF on your hair: SPF products (think sunscreens, sunblocks etc.) aren’t just useful for the skin, and many of these can help protect your hair from seasonal sun damage. Here, our advice is to apply these products just before you go outside, paying extra attention to the tips of your hair as these are most at risk of harm. Because some SPF formulas can make your hair extensions greasy, it is always best to apply them to these parts of the hair in moderation. If this proves to be a problem, it might be worth changing up your look altogether. Ponytail, anyone?
  • Be mindful of swimming: This last one might be tempting fate a little, but exposing your hair to the chlorinated water found in swimming pools (both here and abroad) can weaken its defences against the sun. To stop this from happening, wear a swimming cap or keep your hair out of the water altogether by tying it up. Harmful chlorine should also be rinsed away by showering after you leave the pool.

Valentine’s Day Looks

/in , , , , /by

Valentine’s Day is rapidly approaching and, if you’re anything like us, your hair has been in the same style for the past 12 months and you haven’t given it a second thought. Well, forget lockdown and forget having the same old style! Why not bring these amazing hairstyles to life this Valentine’s?!

Valentine's day

French Braid Crown

Construct a beautiful, angelic look by incorporating two french braids on either side of your head to create a crown that can go around to the opposite sides. Having two braids will also ensure your hair looks thicker and fuller – for extra volume, you can try our very own Flip-In Extensions. Use accessories with pearl or diamonte details to liven up the look!  

 

Floral-Inspired Ponytail

You know those flowers that you’re definitely going to be receiving on V-Day, how cool would it be if your hair matched them?! Use Flip-In Flash (try the red to match the theme of the day) to add wefts to your hair and strategically place braids and twists to create a rustic rosette at the top of your ponytail.

Valentine's day

Effortless Waves

Do you have shorter hair and would prefer not to add length or volume? The effortless beach wave look is perfect for you, and using a large-barrelled curling wand will enable you to achieve a stunning look with very little effort for your valentine. Remember, hairspray and a wide-toothed comb are your best friend when it comes to curls! 

If you’d like to add length and fancy something different, try out our easy-to-fit Flip-In Extensions! 

Valentine's day

Topknot 

You know what a half-up half-down looks like, you know what a topknot looks like – now put them together and create a bewitchingly bodacious hairstyle for your significant other! Add in two face-framing front pieces and you have yourself the perfect attention-grabbing look! 

 

Curly Updo 

Using a thin comb, slick your hair back into a ponytail. Remember to deploy the hairspray and gel to ensure it’s sleek and secure, using a cute scrunchie, simple hairband or hair grips to create some loops, add volume and secure the updo. 

We hope you find the perfect style for your hair this Valentine’s and slay all day!

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.

Available in 30, 40 and 50cm lengths – and over 30 colours – they will provide you with all the tools you need to take your hair from cool to ghoul this Halloween.

You can easily fit any of our hair extensions in the comfort of your own home, change your style on the go if you see fit and get extensions for every occasion! Say goodbye to the expensive salon trips and the cost of maintaining your normal look, and say hello to Flip-In Hair!

Extensions for Every Look

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! 

Have a scare-filled and spooky Halloween from everyone at the Flip-In team! If you have any further questions then please do get in touch, or if you are thinking about trying some of our hair extensions then please contact us on +44(0)1926 659500 or email us at admin@flipinhair.com.
