SWAY Styled by ‘The Hair God’

If you spend your days dreaming of having red carpet-worthy hair, then you’ve just got to see Youtuber and Strictly Come Dancing Finalist Saffron Barker’s current hair situation because it’s genuinely jaw-dropping.

The Youtube sensation posted a photo on Instagram yesterday of her rocking her SWAY Seamless Tape Extensions, being styled by none other than Hair Royalty–Chris Appleton, for the launch of Color Wow’s new Money Masque.

Chris Appleton is known for his work as a world-renowned conceptual hairstylist. He is highly sought after by some of the biggest names in the fashion, entertainment, and music industries, having styled huge names such as Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian West, Ariana Grande, and Katy Perry to name but a few.

Saffron said: “Omg @chrisappleton1 did my hair today, REAL LIFE HAIR GOD !!!! have literally been following him for years and today he really worked his magic on my hair”

GET THE EXACT MATCH

Saffron wears SWAY Seamless 22″ Tape Extensions in shades ‘Rooted Hollywood Ash Blonde’, ‘Chestnut Blonde Mix’ & ‘Ash Blondette’.

To re-create this look at home use SWAY Seamless Clip-ins in shade ‘Hollywood Ash Blonde’.

Here are SWAY’s top 5 tips for applying and maintaining the SWAY Seamless Clip Ins:

  1. BACK COMBING YOUR ROOTS IS KEY
    For the hair extensions to hold in your hair, softly backcomb the roots before application. For a stronger hold, use a small amount of hairspray at the root before clipping in your hair extensions.
  2. GET THE PERFECT COLOUR MATCH
    This one might seem obvious but a bad colour match will make your extensions visible and everyone will know you’ve got extensions in, which is the last thing anyone wants. SWAY offers a custom colour matching service to ensure you get the perfect blend.
  3. HIDING THE BOTTOM SECTION OF YOU HAIR
    If you have shorter hair, these sections can sometimes pop out from under your extensions. To avoid this, twist the bottom section of hair and pin it into a small bun; this will limit movement and you can then hide this by clipping your first row on top of this section.
  4. KEEP YOUR EXTENSIONS TANGLE-FREE
    Keeping your mane in the best condition is essential when using hair extensions and will make them last much longer. Using an extension-friendly hairbrush, like the SWAY Paddle Brush will save your hair from excessive breakage, hair in good condition.
  5. USE THE CORRECT AFTERCARE
    Clip-in hair extensions are not worn constantly so should not need to be regularly washed. However, when you do feel like they need a refresh only use a sulphate-free shampoo. This will avoid damage caused by harsh chemicals found in regular shampoos which can strip moisture from your extensions and cause them to become dry and brittle. We recommend only using SWAY Haircare products on our Clip In Extensions which are free from sulphates, parabens and alcohol, along with the added bonus of them being 100% cruelty free.
