With the festival season kicking off last weekend we thought we’d take a look at the wonderful and wacky Coachella hairstyles on show! This is THE hottest festival to be seen at, with loads of celebs kicking back and enjoying not just the bands but the LA sunshine too!

Vanessa Hudgens is a Coachella regular and this year her hairstyle choices were bang on trend! Going for really voluminous and defined, bouncy curls she teamed this with a large floral crown. Adding flowers to a hairstyles is a favourite for festival goers but this year it is also a bang on trend style...something we’re expecting to see lots and lots of on the high street!

Katy Perry is also a fan of a festival and her style this year has changed a lot from the grungy look from last year! Katy Perry’s hair looked so perfectly styled into vintage inspired waves! After seeing her on the red carpet just a few weeks ago with a bob, we’re almost certain that she has had some help from some clip in hair extensions! The style looked sleek an perfectly styled in comparison to many of the other celebrity festival hairstyles! We also love her Dolce & Gabbana skirt and crop top ensemble...so cute!

We also have to give credit to Whitney Port's Coachella look! Wearing one of her own Spring Summer collection dresses she looked stunning in the mint green shade. Whitney’s long locks were left loose with a centre parting. This was left really natural, with some kinks but the look was really low maintenance...and looked great!

So the MTV Movie Awards was last weekend and there have been more and more pictures from the red carpet, award show performances and after show parties emerging! Looking at these there is a clear red carpet hairstyle trend on show...the updo! The updo’s at this event are different to many others though, with lots of younger and interesting styles on show instead of  the elegant and classy styles you would expect at other award shows!

Bella Thorne was looking gorgeous on the red carpet. Wearing a cream suit her copper locks were scraped back into a high bubble ponytail! This style was huge on the catwalks last season so it was nice to see a celeb rock this look on the red carpet. Although we are huge fans of the look, we couldn’t help but wish someone had got in there and back combed her hair more...this would have given the bubbles more shape!

The british flavour of the night came from the gorgeous Emma Watson. Wearing her hair in a simple low down bun, a style that is going to be a huge Spring/Summer trend. This simple hairstyle looked beautiful against her cut out detailed dress. Proving that you don’t have to have long locks to pull off such a beautiful red carpet updo.

We are also loving Selena Gomez’s dutch braided do too! Her uber long locks were tightly scraped to the centre of her head and tightly braided all the way to the ends. The dutch braid is great as this makes the braid stand out from the head unlike the french braid that flattens the hair...the look was finished off with a quiff! Braids are a huge spring/summer trend so it was fabulous to see such a stand out style on the red carpet.

There were some very out there styles on the red carpet...but this is something we have come to expect at the MTV Awards. Who thought that a stumped out cigarette would be made into a hat? No we don’t get it either!

Now, its a common misconception that clip in hair extensions are only used to add length to your hair...clip in hair extensions are perfect for adding volume to thin/fine hair and being used to bulk up or cheat your way to the perfect updo! 

Here at Headkandy we stock a variety of lengths, going from as short as 12-14” clip in hair extensions all the way to 24-26”!! So whatever length your own hair is there will be a similar length of hair extensions, remember you need to measure downwards from the top of your ear to see how long your own hair will be in relation to the clip in hair extensions. Choosing a length very similar to your own hair will add oodles of volume to your locks and no one will even know that you are wearing extensions! Perfect for that just stepped off the red carpet feel. ♥

The other great thing that clip in hair extensions can be used for is an updo! We all know how fiddly it can be trying to cover, for example, a doughnut bun when you don’t have quite enough length or thickness to your own hair. Instead of choosing a full head of hair extensions opt for a couple of single wefts or a quad weft in the shade closest to your own. Now you want to use this weft to clip onto your doughnut and wrap it around to ensure none of the mesh can be seen! Perfect and this is just one example of how an updo can be enhance with clip in hair extensions. Be sure to check out our hair tutorials for other cheats and tips for using hair extensions with updos!

What else do you use you clip in hair extensions for besides length? We’d love to know if you have any tricks for updos too :)

We are always keen to see what trends will be cropping back up for the Spring and Summer and we have to say we are loving the hottest looks predicted for this year. Spring and Summer is a time where we girls feel the need to change our style and experiment with new and intricate styles that we just don’t during the colder winter months, the sun must bring out the creativeness in us all!

Braids are always a trend that keeps coming back around every year. Spring and Summer are a time when girls like to look feminine and pretty and braids are such a fun way of adding this touch to any hairstyle. Whether it be adding a french braid to a bun, adding some thin loose braids to your waves or dutch braiding your fringe/bang there are hundreds of styles that incorporate some type of braid. Don’t forget that there are so many different types of braids too; fishtail, dutch, lace and waterfall to name just a few! Once you have mastered the technique there will be no stopping the styles!

The next big trend this Spring/Summer is a no fuss style...the low slung ponytail! Whether your hair be super sleek and straight, big bouncy curls or yesterdays brushed out waves...it doesn’t matter. The only rule to this style is that your ponytail must be secured at the nape of your neck! Pull this around to the side to spice up the style a little!

Next on the list of hot trends is accessories! Yep get out your head scarves, ribbons and flowers as you will be needing these for a bang on trend look this Spring/Summer! This is a look that we have become used to seeing at festivals, especially flowers in a hairstyle but this year it’s set to become a far more mainstream look. It’s also a very versatile trend, it allows you to join in even if this is just adding a flower to a ponytail or really going for it with a huge head scarf bow or flower crown headband! It’s a really playful look and if you're creative you can even have a dabble at making your own!

Last on our list is a huge contrast to the last and is again a very simple and easy to do style.  The Low Bun keeps in line with the low slung ponytail and is super easy to do. The trend is keeping the bun at the nape of the neck and simply twisting the hair around itself, so no doughnut buns here! The buns tend to be smaller and neater because of this.
