Are you so in love with your Zascha clip-ins that you never want to take them out? Or are you just curious about the difference between clip-in extensions and weaves? Then you’re in the right place! Keep reading:

What is a Weave/Secret Weft?

A Secret Weft/weave is designed to be worn permanently in your hair. Our weave/weft is a single long strip approximately 65 cm (26″) wide. The 40 cm (16″) Secret Weft weighs 30 grams, while the 50 cm (20″) weft weighs 40 grams. Thanks to the extremely flat base, they offer the benefits of hand-tied wefts (super thin) without the downsides—you can easily cut them to size! Unlike standard (machine) wefts, our wefts have no fold-over (a flipped edge of hair), making them invisible and incredibly comfortable to wear. Additionally, our Secret Wefts are made from the highest quality hair with the fullest ends available on the market. This means you need less hair to achieve more volume.

What exactly is the difference between the clip-ins and the weaves?

The weaves are more expensive because the processing involves more intricate details. The following factors are important in this process:

1. The type of hair. For our weaves, we use Cuticle Indian Hair. This hair has a similar texture to European hair and is donated in temples in India. Before it is donated and before we color it to the desired shade, the hair has never been dyed or chemically treated. For our weaves, we select only the highest quality donor hair.

2. The processing The treatment and coloring process of the hair is done in a special, gentle way. Once the hair has gone through our mild coloring process, we call it cuticle hair. This hair is of even higher quality than remy hair because the cuticles remain intact during the process. As a result, the lifespan is longer than that of remy hair, lasting at least 8-12 months and, in some cases, even over a year.

3. Keep it natural No silicones are used in the hair. This is different from our clip-ins, which do contain silicones. Clip-ins have a silicone coating to keep the hair looking beautiful for longer, but this coating gradually wears off with washing and wear.

4. The origin And last but not least: the hair for our weaves comes from young donors (men and women up to 25 years old). If you’d like to learn more about the origin of Zascha Hair, you can do so via the button below.

How many wefts do I need?

This depends a lot on the thickness and style of your own hair. In most cases, you’ll need about 100 to 200 grams for a length extension. If you’re only looking to add extra volume, one pack in your own length is usually enough! Not sure what you need? Feel free to send us a message with a photo so we can help you choose the right amount. This blog includes tips and tricks for taking a good consultation photo. You can also see our products in real life by placing an order. If it turns out not to be exactly what you’re looking for and the product meets our return conditions, you can send it back, and we will refund your purchase amount.

Colors to dye for

We have a wide range of weave colors, and we’re constantly working behind the scenes to keep them as up-to-date as possible. However, if you’d prefer to dye your weave darker, that’s absolutely possible! Lightening the hair is not recommended. For the best results and minimal damage to the weave, it’s best to use a semi-permanent dye or a mild hair color. If you’re unsure, you can always visit a hairdresser or beauty supply store for advice. Keep in mind that once dyed, the extensions cannot be bleached if something goes wrong—so better safe than sorry!

How long do weaves last?

With proper care (see this blog) and correct placement, your weaves will last at least 8 to 12 months. We always recommend having your weaves installed by a hairdresser with experience in extensions. This ensures that your extensions stay in the best condition and you get the most out of them. Plus, if anything isn’t quite as expected, you can rely on our 2-month warranty. We already have several salons that use our Secret Weaves. Curious to know which ones? Feel free to send us a message! 😊

Just like with clip-ins, it’s important to properly maintain the hair so you can enjoy it as long as possible. After all, it’s quite an investment! We recommend using mild, nourishing, high-quality products.

Which products do you recommend?

The ERA TUA Fresh Linen Daily Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner are perfect for weaves as well as your own hair! These products hydrate and nourish your extensions, leaving them soft and healthy-looking.

Do you use a lot of styling tools/heat on your darker weaves? Then the ERA TUA Repairing Structure is highly recommended. If you frequently use heat on your lighter weaves, the Color Protection is a great option.

Of course, there are as many preferences as there are people. If there’s another product you prefer that has a nourishing base, it’s certainly suitable as well.

How to wash your wefts

Apply the shampoo throughout the hair (including the roots/attachment points of the wefts) and gently massage it in.
Rinse the hair thoroughly, especially around the attachment points of the wefts, to ensure no shampoo residue is left behind.
Lift the wefts slightly so you can rinse well underneath them.
Next, apply the nourishing conditioner to the lengths and ends of your hair, leave it in for at least 2 minutes.

Do your extensions need some extra love? Leave the ERA TUA conditioner on for a little while longer to use it as a mask!

Always use a heat protectant (recommended: the Alterna Dry Oil Mist) when using styling tools. The weaves can be blow-dried, but always try to blow-dry the hair downwards to prevent damage to the hair cuticles.

More importantly: which products do you recommend avoiding?

We advise against using products that contain keratin, as they can make the extensions heavy and stringy. We also notice that Olaplex doesn’t always work well. With this product, extensions can sometimes feel different than expected. This is especially noticeable with clip-ins. Due to some uncertainty, we prefer to avoid this product. 🙂

Due to the gentle processing the hair has undergone, it is slightly more delicate. When using styling tools or heat sources, you may notice that the color can warm up slightly. This is completely normal and can be corrected with a purple shampoo. If you do this, we recommend reading the blog carefully to prevent the color from shifting too much.

SPF and Malibu C

It’s also advisable to be cautious with SPF or foundation that adjusts to your skin tone. When your extensions come into contact with these products (for example, around the neck or collarbone), a warm tint may develop. This is clearly visible in the photo on the right.

If this happens by accident, don’t panic. Malibu C is here to the rescue! This link contains a tutorial on how to achieve the results shown in the left photo.

Malibu what?

Malibu C! This small packet removes unwanted colors from your extensions. It can be used for: Over-processed silver shampoo and stains from sunscreen, as described above. Malibu C will not alter the color (which is great). However, it can make the extensions feel a bit rough immediately after rinsing. If you use a nourishing product afterward (such as Daily Moisture by ERA TUA), your extensions will feel as good as new!

Another good tip:

Braid your hair before going to bed. This helps prevent damage from friction. True beauty queens even use a “silk bonnet” or the “heatless curls method” while sleeping. But of course, you should do what feels most comfortable for you.

We hope we’ve provided you with all the information you need about washing and caring for the Secret Wefts.

Of course, you can also contact us via Facebook or send us a WhatsApp at 085-2250281.

Because Zascha Hair extensions are made of 100% real human hair, you can treat it like your own hair. You can wash (preferably not too often), curl & straighten them and even dye them darker. In this blog we’ll share all the ins and outs about straightening and curling your clip-in extensions! You can also use these methods on our other products such as the Ponytail, V-part and Bun. In most cases it’s easier to place the product first and style as desired after.

Straightening your clip-in extensions

When you first wash your extensions, you might think, ‘Hmm, that looks different.’ Don’t worry! With a few handy tricks, you can have your set looking just like you would expect from us. Before styling, apply a few drops of oil/heat protector to the ends and let them air dry, for example on a clothes hanger. Be careful not to use too much oil as it can weigh down the hair, making it difficult to style.One product we are absolutely obsessed with is the Alterna Dry Oil Mist. It’s a heat protector that adds extra shine without weighing down the hair.

Set your styling tool (curling iron or straightener) to a maximum of 220 degrees Celsius. The hotter your styling tool is, the more it damages your hair and shortens the lifespan of your set. Even worse, it can damage your natural hair! While waiting for the styling tool to heat up, apply a heat-protective spray on the entire set, from roots to ends. For the best result, work on one section at a time. Take a section of about 3 to 5 cm and comb it through thoroughly. Place the straightener at the roots and slowly, in one smooth motion, glide it downward. Repeat if necessary until the entire set is nicely straightened. Then, style your own hair as well to blend it seamlessly with the extensions and create a beautiful finish. Result: Zascha Hair extensions, gorgeous, shiny, and healthy locks!

Curling your 100% human hair clip-in extensions

There are just as many different types of curls as there are people. By using various curling irons, you can create different types of curls.

Which curling iron do I need?

The larger the diameter of the curling iron, the looser the curl. If you desire Beach Waves (a curl that is highly suitable for long extensions), it’s best to use a curling iron with a 32mm (1 1/4″ barrel). The thicker the hair section, the bigger the curl. Good to know: Large and loose curls may have a tendency to drop faster.

The curling iron we use most often is the 25mm (1″) one. With this curling iron, you can create most types of curls and also manipulate the curls effectively while ensuring they hold well. This iron produces a medium-sized curl.

If you have natural, small curls or if you want to create them for a special occasion, the 19mm (3/4″) curling iron is excellent for achieving that look.

Okay, but how do you achieve the perfect curl that stays in place for a long time without losing its bounce, regardless of which curling iron you use? We’ll explain it to you!

Curling before placing

You can also curl your extensions before placing them. It’s super convenient if you don’t have much time in the morning and can do it the night before. (This is also very suitable for people who already have natural curls.) It’s best to curl the clip-in extensions while they are hanging. You can do this, for example, using a clothes hanger. Use a heat protector and take sections of about 2 to 3 cm, combing them through thoroughly. Start curling at the roots of the hair and wrap the rest of the weft around the curling iron. Leave it on for 5 to 10 seconds, depending on the thickness of the weft. You can gently touch the curl with your finger to check if it’s getting warm, but be careful not to burn yourself!

Then slide the curl off the curling iron and catch it with your hand to let it cool down for a moment. You can then secure it with a bobby pin or clip. This allows the curl to cool down without immediately losing its shape (just like on your own head!).

Repeat this process with all the wefts. Once all the wefts have cooled down, carefully remove the bobby pins or clips. And there you have it, a perfect curl with long-lasting bounce! Once you’ve removed all the clips from your set, you can gently start placing your extensions. You can do it in your own way, or you can follow the Zascha method (check out this blog). Now, you might be wondering about hairspray. Yes, you can definitely use it! When spraying your hair, make sure to hold the spray about 15 cm (6″) away from the weft to avoid creating stiff sections in the curl. Girl, you’re ready! Whether it’s a day of hard work at the office or a night of clubbing and pub-hopping with your besties, you’re ready to leave and turn heads 😉

It can be quite a challenge to find the perfect color of clip-in hair extensions to match your own (dyed) blonde hair exactly. Is your hair cool toned and are your extensions a little too warm toned or do they have a yellow hue? Don’t worry, you can tone our blonde 100% Indian Human Hair extensions to match the coolness of your own hair. Curious how? With these 5 steps you can easily and quickly tone your extensions with purple shampoo!

From warm to cool. Toning is easily done with purple shampoo (a must have for cool toned blondies!), but you do need to know how. We are going to show you step by step how to give your blonde extensions that beautiful ashy color. Brush your extensions in preparation to prevent tangling and place all of the items you need at the sink: a brush or comb, towel, purple shampoo and conditioner. In this blog we used the L’Oréal Expert from the hair salon. Read further down in the blog about the difference between the No Yellow and a No Orange line. Here we go:

1. Make a bath with purple shampoo

Fill your sink with lukewarm water, add a little purple shampoo and mix with the water so you can no longer see any drops of shampoo floating around in the purple/blue bath.

2. Let’s tone blonde girl

Then, it’s time for the real deal. Grab one weft of extensions and carefully dip it into the purple shampoo bath a few times. You can immediately see the extensions change color and lighten up. Assess the first weft very well before toning your entire set of extensions.

Not sure whether the color is ashy enough? Then, it’s best to let the extensions dry and assess if the color is right. It’s a lot easier to make the extensions ashier than the other way around. Unless you’re going for a smurf look 😉

Please note! Don’t leave your extensions in the purple shampoo bath too long. They can turn grey/blue. So, rather too short, than too long. Having doubts? Dry them first to assess the results.

Do you have a very light colored set? (Melted Blonde, Silver Grey, Misty Morning, Pearl Blonde or Light Blonde). Please note that these colors turn blue more easily. It’s extra important that the water is really warm instead of lukewarm and that the shampoo is dissolved in the water. If this isn’t the case, the color might distribute unevenly and create spots in your extensions.

Satisfied with the result? Then you can move on to the next weft. Keep the same rhythm (if you quickly dip them a few times in the bath, do that again).
Do you want to clearly see the difference before and after toning? Then don’t wash one weft.

3. Rinse and wring out!

When the extension has been dipped in the batch sufficiently, rinse it with cold water and make sure to get rid of all the shampoo. Wring carefully and set aside. This is how you tone your extensions weft by weft. Try to prevent tangling as much as possible.

4. Apply conditioner and rinse

Toned all wefts? Use a nourishing conditioner and let it absorb. Rinse again with cold water.

5. Air dry

Lay out your extensions out on a towel. It’s best not to blow dry the extensions, to prevent frizz and damage. All you need now is some patience for that beautiful and fresh result. Et voila! After a few hours of drying you’ll have your gorgeous ashblonde locks! Cool right?

No Orange & No Yellow.

If your extensions or natural hair have become slightly warmer over time and you’d like to refresh the color, you can use a No Orange line (to counteract red and orange tones) or a No Yellow line (to combat yellow tones). The No Yellow shampoo is the purple shampoo. We recommend using both the No Yellow and the No Orange shampoos in the same way to prevent the colors from becoming too intense. Here are our favorite No Orange and No Yellow products:

Yes, you’ve found the perfect 100% human hair clip-in extensions, worn them a few times and maybe even styled them. Amazing! But then… after a while, just like your own hair, the extensions long for a nourishing wash. Which shampoo and conditioner are best to use for extensions? Of course, we all have our favorites, but we’d love to help you along with some of our favs! ☺️

Do not wash your extensions too often

We recommend not washing your extensions too frequently. The guideline we suggest is to wash them after every 15 to 20 wears. If you regularly use a lot of products on your extensions, such as hairspray, you may need to wash them more often. Only wash your extensions when it’s really necessary to ensure they last as long as possible. Zascha hair extensions naturally have a darker color (Indian hair) and undergo an intensive treatment process in the factory. Therefore, your clip-ins require proper care. For the best results, it’s advisable to use all products from the same line.

Which shampoo do we recommend?

After extensive research and numerous tests on extensions, we discovered Era Tua. Era Tua is a Dutch brand, founded within the hairdressing industry with an eye for detail and a nose for the perfect scent. Not only do extensions respond exceptionally well to these products, but using Era Tua is a wellness experience in itself, and these products are also perfect for your own hair.

Hellow, No Yellow!

Step-by-step

Now that we’ve introduced you to our favorites, it’s SHOWTIME! Take your time, put on some singalongs and go for it!

Wet the hair weft by weft with lukewarm/warm water.
Apply a small amount of shampoo to your hand. You can adjust the amount as needed, but we recommend not using too much, as everything you apply will need to be rinsed out.
Take a weft in your hand, and gently start making circular motions at the top of the hair with your thumbs. Make sure it lathers well and work your way down. Do not rinse out this weft yet; set it aside for a moment.
Grab the next weft and repeat this step until you’ve done all of the wefts.
Now, carefully start rinsing out each weft one by one until you no longer see any foam.
Grab your conditioner and apply it in the same way, but this time don’t start at the roots of the wefts, but to the mid-lengths of the hair, working your way down to the ends.
Rinse out the conditioner weft by weft with lukewarm/warm water.
Pat your hair dry, avoid rubbing heavily. This will tangle the hair and cause frizz.
Detangle the hair by gently combing it with a wide-toothed comb, always starting at the ends and slowly working your way up.

What is the best way to dry my clip-in extensions?

It’s extremely important to let the hair air-dry. This prevents frizz and dehydration. When you’ve finished rinsing the hair, you can pat it dry with a towel or squeeze out the excess water. It’s important to avoid friction by rubbing heavily. This will damage the hair. You can hang them on the Styling Unit or lay them on your heater with a soft towel underneath.

Store, Protect & Travel

Neatly storing your hair is just as important as the proper care. This is why we’ve designed the Velvet Storage Bag. The Velvet Bag is made of a luxury velvet fabric, decorated with golden details. The hanger is made of wood with a soft strip on the inside, to protect your extensions. The luxury travel bag that makes life easier. Travel and store in STYLE!✨

Shop the Storage bag

Want the finishing touch for your hair care? Pamper your extensions by leaving the Era Tua conditioner on for 5 to 10 minutes after washing.

Here is a litte how to:

Apply the conditioner to the mid-lengths of the hair and work your way down to the ends.
Make sure to remove excess moisture from the hair.
Leave it on for 5 minutes (or a bit longer!) and then rinse thoroughly.

Speaking of Styling:

Before you dive in with your straightener or curling iron, we recommend applying some Dry Oil Mist in the ends of the hair. The special thing about this product? The Dry Oil Mist is a treatment AND heat protectant in one! This delays the dehydration process in the ends, so you can enjoy your luscious locks even longer. The Dry Oil Mist is 147ml excl. packaging.

The Dry Oil Mist is free of parabens and sulfates, and protects up to 230 degrees. When used in the ends only, it won’t weigh the hair down. What are you waiting for!

Go get a dry oil mist

Our extensions are ‘Natural Straight’, which means that the hair is straight upon delivery but might become slightly wavy after washing. All our extensions are made of 100% real human hair and therefore you can curl and straighten them with curling irons or carmen sets. There are a thousand and one ways to curl and straighten your set. We’ve explained the most used way in this blog:

Finally

Hopefully, we’ve been able to educate you a little on the world of haircare products. We are very enthusiastic about the above mentioned products. If you prefer to use other products, please make sure to use a nourishing shampoo. We definitely recommend using shampoos with ingredients such as Argan oil! Do you use a shampoo with keratine for your own hair? Avoid using this for your extensions. We’ve learned from experience that our extensions don’t react well to this.

December is upon us again and you know what that means, party!!! Of course we have Christmas and all the parties, around New Years Eve. We assume you have been shopping for sparkles like crazy. But… what to do with your hair? At least as important!

So that calls for at least 3, no, 4 (25 and 26 December) hairstyles! And of course Zascha has taken that into account. Especially for you we have created 4 festive hairstyles. Look and learn!

“So pour yourself a hot chocolate with whipped cream (and marshmallows) and get inspired!”

Difficult? Nah! But just to be sure, we’ve also record some “how to” tutorials for you. So pour yourself a hot chocolate with whipped cream (and marshmallows) and get inspired!

1. The Crownbraid

Party hairstyle #1 is the beautiful Crown braid by Sabrina Dijkman. Have you been binge-watching Reign, The Crown & Victoria like crazy and absolutely loving all those regal updo’s that keep passing on your screen? Then this is the hairstyle for you! Easy, fast and very very royal!

For this hairstyle you need 4 small rubber bands (preferably in your own hair color) and a lot of bobby pins. Make sure you have a big can of hairspray! Tip: Finish off your crown braid with a statement tiara and we guarantee all eyes will be on you all evening!

“Easy, quick and very véry royal!”

Not very good with braiding? Then ask your sister, friend or mother if they would like to give you a hand. To make it super easy for you, we recorded a “How to” video of this hairstyle just for you. Good luck!

🎥 Watch the video tutorial here!

2. Boho braids

These boho braids are always a winner. During a festival, in combination with some beautiful boho jewelry. Or in everyday life, during an intense workout session for example, where you want your hair out of your face but really want to impress that one hunk who effortlessly pushes away 100kg. Or, during a fancy party. Christmas for example, or New Year’s Eve! This hairstyle in combination with some highlighter and a set of beautiful earrings is a real statement hairstyle. You will leave a smashing impression without a doubt!

Very useful: small rubber bands in your own hair colour. Also make sure you have your curling iron so you can curl your face framing pieces!

3. Gatsby glam

A beautiful wave, sparkling hair jewelry and volume. A lot of volume! This hairstyle looks great with your glitter dress. Even better with a bare shoulder! For this hairstyle you need a curling iron, a brush, volume powder and some pretty hairpins! Zara and H&M usually have some very nice sets!

What you need to do: Wash your hair the night before so it’s nice and clean and add some volume mousse on towel dry hair. Let it soak in overnight. The morning after, comb it through and start curling.

“Once you’ve curled all your hair, let your curls cool down for a while (start your makeup in the meantime).”

Then wrap big strands of hair around the barrel and hold for 10 seconds. After removing the barrel, don’t let the curl drop immediately but hold it in your hand for another 10 seconds. Once you’ve curled all your hair, let your curls cool down for a while (start your makeup in the meantime).

After 15 to 20 minutes, gently comb through the curls with a wide-toothed brush. Now create a parting above your right or left eye, depending on which way you want your quiff to fall, and then pick up your volume powder. Now gently take the top layer of your quiff, and add some volume powder at your roots. Drop your quiff and style. Slide the other side of your hair behind your ear and secure it with your dainty hairpins. The more the merrier! A little hairspray to keep everything in place and you’re good to go!

4. The Glam Braid

When you are a little clumsy, (like us) you might prefer to have your hair out of your face during all those fancy dinners. Then this glam braid is the solution for you! Super easy and super stylish! For this braid, use our clip-in braid, available in 2 lengths and several very blendable colors.

Because the glam braid is a little tricky to explain (don’t worry, absolutely not tricky to make) we made a “how to” video especially for you. If you have any questions after watching the video, about the haircut or about the products that are used, please feel free to contact us.

🎥 Watch the video tutorial here!

“Your best friend for this masterpiece is a good hairspray.”

Festival hair that lasts all day!

Our love for festivals is BIG! Reason enough to go all out with your hair. Being the festival lovers we are, we’d love to help you with some inspiration!A great look requires a lot of time and effort: What should you wear, what is the weather going to be like, how will you do your hair, and how on earth will it stay in place all day??? Unfortunately we can’t do much about the weather, and you will have to pick out your own outfit. But, of course we can help you with your hair!

First of all, we’d like to help you figure out which set of extensions will be suitable for you. Which set or product meets your needs and expectations and suits you best. Hair extensions are an expensive purchase, and that is the exact reason why we would love to help you in the best way we can. So feel free to send us a message if you need help.

Would you rather do some exploring yourself first? Take a look at our blog “Help, Which set of clip-in extensions should I choose?”. We also provide the possibility to order color samples so you can look at the color in real life. The page “Tips for finding your perfect Zascha color match.” is also very helpful! Here are 3 must-haves for a festival hairdo!

Tip: At Coachella and on social media you always see everyone parading around with beautiful full beach waves, but to be honest, at a real (good) party it is nothing like that. Think beer showers and dixi visits! That’s why it might be more convenient to put your hair up halfway

Okay, you’re ready!

If all went well, we were able to help you find the perfect extensions which you’ve received in time for your party. We all know that well begun is half done, especially if you’re heading to a festival/party. We recommend teasing the roots of your hair thoroughly and applying a small amount of volumizing powder. This ensures that the clips have a good grip and won’t slide out. It’s best to do this weft by weft.

“We all know that well begun is half done, especially if you’re heading to a festival/party.”

But how?!

Again, well begun is half done. It is important that when you are going to do your hair, your hair is completely dry. Besides volume powder, you can also opt for a volume mousse. A tip from the pros is to apply volume mousse after washing and blow dry thoroughly. This makes your hair a little more stiff so that curls and updos stay in place better.

“By lightly combing out the curl with a soft brush you can make it just a little bit more effortless!”

The smaller the curl, the longer it will last. With various sized curling irons you can create endless hairstyles. We always recommend not to set the temperature of your curling iron hotter than 180 degrees, and to always use a heat protector. Both for your own hair, and for your extensions. Tip: By combing out the curl lightly with a soft brush you can make it just that little bit more effortless! Below you can find 3 killer festival looks that you must try!

1. Curling extensions

Before using the curling iron on your hair, it is a good idea to spray the strand of hair with (liquid) hairspray and securing it with a bobby pin after curling. You can read more tips on this in our curling blog.

2. Fishtail braid

Would you rather put your hair up completely or French/Dutch braid it? It may take some practice, but how cool is this blog about the fishtail braid! Compliments 100% guaranteed!

3. Effortless braid

Do you prefer the effortless boho look? We have a whole blog dedicated to that too! We’d love to see your creations by the way. So don’t forget to tag us!

After care!

When you’re recuperating while your advil is still dissolving in your bloody mary, you’re obviously not waiting for obligations or aftercare. If you have good products, this is not necessary at all. Wash the set (after wearing it approximately 12 times or 1 festival) with Alterna Cavier Moisture Shampoo, and rinse with Alterna Cavier Moisture Conditioner. Your extensions will be extra grateful if you let the conditioner soak in for 5 to 10 minutes.

Did you go a little overboard? Then some extra care is never a bad idea. Take some me-time and treat both your set and your own hair to the Alterna Replenishing Moisture Mask. Let this mask sit for 10 minutes, then gently rinse out the wefts and pat them dry with a towel. They will shine like never before!

Effortless full braid with Zascha clip-in extensions

Do you usually wear your hair with clip-in extensions loose? And do you want to wear it differently? Every two weeks? We give you inspiration and tips for a beautiful braid or knot. We’ll start with the most common and simplest, which is a casual basic 3 strand braid. We love this one!

Brush through your hair thoroughly and make sure your hair is frizz free. Do this by pre-treating your hair with a straightener or curling iron.
Divide the clip-in extensions in your hair (see: Clip-in Guide) Important! When braiding your hair, it is important that the clip-in extensions are not too close to your hairline (contour). Make sure you have enough of your own hair to cover the extension clips.

Important! When braiding your hair, it is important that the clip-in extensions are not too close to your hairline (contour). Make sure you have enough of your own hair to cover the extension clips.

This braid starts at your neck. You can plait the braid straight back or at an angle to the side. Especially the last one we are fans of! Divide your hair (at your neck) into three even strands.

Since you’re wearing clip-in extensions, don’t pull your braid too tight.
Take with your right hand the right strand and with your left hand the left strand. Keep your thumb on the middle strand. Start with the right strand and skip it over the middle one. Keep your thumb firmly on the middle strand. Then you skip the left strand over the middle strand. Then take the right strand over the middle one again and continue braiding until you reach the end of the hair. Leave about 4 to 5 cm of hair unbraided.

This is a basic technique that is used for different types of braids.

At the end of the braid you can secure the hair with a hair elastic (do not use rubber elastic by the way, it is bad for your hair!).

To make your braid with Zascha hair extensions look nonchalant, you can pull slightly on the braided strands. This will make your braid a little looser, chunkier and more beautiful. Do this to each braided piece so that it loosens slightly evenly.
Voilà! You’ve created the perfect braid! Fix your full braid with hairspray.

Good luck ladies!

Did you know that Zascha clip-in extensions are made from real hair? ( Check out the origin of our hair here!) This makes the extensions blend in very well with your own hair.

Do you usually wear your hair down when wearing clip-in extensions? And would you like to switch it up sometimes? We love to give you inspiration and tips for beautiful braids and buns. This time: the easy but oooohh so beautiful fishtail braid!

If you want a slightly tighter fishtail: Brush your hair well and make sure your hair is free of frizz. Using a straightener or curling iron will help with this. If you want an effortless fishtail: comb your hair with your hands.
Distribute the clip-in extensions in your hair. See our clip-in guide

Important! When braiding your hair, it is important that the clip-in extensions are not placed too closely to your hairline. Make sure that enough of your own hair covers the extension clips.

This braid starts at your neck. Divide your hair into two even strands.
Be mindful of your clip-in extensions and don’t pull too tightly at the start of your braid. If you want a messy fishtail hold the braid in a looser grip.
Take a strand in each hand. From the right strand, take a small piece of hair from the side and turn it over to the left side. Add the thin strand to the left strand. From the left strand, take a small strand from the side and add it to the right strand. Repeat these steps until you reach the end of the hair.
At the end of the braid you can secure the hair with a hair elastic.
To make your braid look messy, occasionally pull some loose, fine whispies out of your braid with Zascha hair extensions.
Set your elegant or messy fishtail braid with hairspray.
