It’s no secret that when women look for hair styles, celebrities often help to impact their decisions. While we are all trendsetters in our own right, there’s just something enchanting about the glamour flaunted by the likes of Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Kelly Rowland- to name a few. Although we may not be able to afford their stylists just yet, there are tons of do-it-yourself techniques that’d help to spruce up your look without breaking your pockets! To help, I’ve broken down some popular star looks for you to attempt.
Do It Your Self
While it’s no longer a secret that Beyonce’ rocks lace wigs ($300-800), you can achieve her look without buying such an expensive piece. For this look I’d recommend 8-12 ounces of straight human hair extensions. Try sewing in your extensions leaving out the parameter and frontal sections of your hair. The Curls can be created by the use of a 1-2 inch curling iron (or flat iron). To keep up these curls, I usually add flexi rods while I sleep

Do It Your Self
Kelly Rowland rocked these curls about two years ago, but they have continued to be a go-to look for me. Curls are fun and sassy and most importantly, they are low maintenance (depending on the grade of hair extensions you use). Although Kelly uses a lace wig, I suggest using or deep wave extensions to replicate these curls. A sew in is also suggested for installing these extensions. Depending on how big you’d like to go with the hair, I’d say to use 8-12 ounces for volume.
Do It Your Self
Rihanna’s pixie cut may require a little expertise. But this is still a fun and edgy look that can be maintained by yourself. I personally rock a short cut from time to time. While I go to my stylist for the initial cut, I have become pretty savvy at maintaining the look between visits. Washing and setting short hair is really important. Invest in a portable hair dryer & sculpt your wet hair with a foam setting lotion to keep your look in tact. The pixie cut is carried off by the longer pieces of hair in the front. Try making your own clip in extensions to create a bang and add length to the front of your hair.
