Best clip-in hair extensions for down-styles and all-day curl retention?

I’m planning my bridal look and want to wear my hair down in curls, but I need clip-in extensions to add volume and help hold the style all day. Which brands or hair weights do you consistently recommend for bridal styling that won't lose their curl? Are clip-ins the best choice for this, or would you suggest a different option like halo extensions?

Hi lovely,

I've been recommending Superior Hair Extensions recently to my clients (superiorhair.com.au) and they have been so great to work with. I've found them to have a really nice amount of hair per piece in the Classic clip in set compared to others to add just the right amount of volume for my outstyles. My clients had found it an easy process to match their shade with them too.

I always prefer the clip in set over a halo as it means that I can put them in where they'll help the style sit really well and you need them for your face shape. Also, they'll stay in perfectly for all of your dancing later at the reception!

Warmly,

Jen x

Hi lovely bride, 

So long as your extensions are human hair they retain curls incredibly well (in fact better than your own hair and anchor your own curls at the same time).

Many companies, including Makeup Mode, hire hair extensions for your wedding day at a minimal cost compared to buying your own set and only using them for one day! Maybe that could be a consideration for you? 

I hope this helps,

Regards
