Pin-up Victory Rolls

We’re huge fans of Halloween here at Hotheads. We believe Halloween costumes don’t always need to incite fear. Instead, we think they should transport people. Another time, another place, possibilities are endless! Last year we created a fun Lana Del Rey inspired Zombie Siren, but this year we’re going back in time.

For this vintage pin-up inspired tutorial, our model Jennifer has plenty of hair to create the effect. For guests looking to create this look, we recommend applying Hotheads Micro Strands in areas where they need more length and volume. 

1. Begin by curling the hair

2. For additional volume, alternate the curling pattern.

3. Separate the hair into 3 clean sections - left, right and back.

4. Use your favorite texturizing product to add grit to the front left section.

5. Use a back combing technique at the root to create the foundation for your first victory roll

6. Brush the hair to smooth it out and begin to curl the first roll. Use two fingers to sculpt the roll.

7. Once the roll is complete, secure with bobby pins and your favorite hair spray.

8. Repeat on the opposite side. Keep an eye on symmetry and balance.

9. In the back, create a bun from the top. Fan the bun out to create a hair bow. Make sure you have the same amount of hair on each side.

10. Pull a piece of hair between the bun to create a bow-shape. Secure hair bow and mist with your favorite firm hold spray.

11. Finalize with a fun wrapped pony tail on the bottom of the section. 

12. Voila! The perfect Victory Rolls for Halloween or a Vintage Pin-Up themed party.

Convertible Milkmaid Braid

How To: Convertible Milkmaid Braid with Hotheads Extensions

1. After applying Hotheads Hair Extensions, place a light wave in the hair using a curling tool. After you have curled the hair, spray hair with Martino Cartier Shut Up and Kiss Me. 

2. Take a triangle section on the side of the head and create 2 subsections, make sure that you stay behind the ear.

3. Begin by gathering new hair from the sides and placing the hair into the center of the braid. Keep the center secured with the opposite hand. Grab new hair from the opposite side and place in the center of the braid.

4. Continue working down the head. Every fourth time you cross hair into the center of the braid, grab hair from the outside of the subsections. This will allow you to braid onto her head, instead of on top.

5. Once the braid gets to the nape of the head, complete with a fishtail braid. Secure with a hair tie. Continue this braid on the opposite side. Once you are completed, you will have 2 braids.

6. Take both braids, and crisscross them, one braid will go underneath, continue to wrap the braid around the head. Make sure the braid goes behind the ear. Secure braid over the head with 2 bobby pins.

7. Repeat this step with the second braid.

8. To create a second look, remove bobby pins. Gently pinch the braid to loosen the hair. This will create a thicker braid.

9. Create a custom braid by sewing the braids together. Take hair needle and thread and begin to sew the two fishtail braids together

Asymmetrical Cut

How To: Asymmetrical Cut with Hotheads Extensions

1. Create section, using the client’s natural part

2. Begin by applying an Original Hotheads Hair Extension, color #2. Next apply a Hotheads Ultimate Hair Extension. This patent pending product mimics natural hair growth. Each individual hair is injected into the tape tab, giving the appearance that it’s growing out of the client’s head.

3. Continue to apply the Hotheads Hair Extensions where length and fullness is required.

4. Once you have apply the desire amount of extensions, you will notice that the weight line has slightly disappeared from the client’s hair. You still may need to back cut to remove weight without cutting into the client’s hair.

5. Take a horizontal section and hold the section with your head. Take the guiding blade, thumb blade is on top, guiding blade is on the bottom and lightly back comb the shears as if you were back combing hair. DO NOT CLOSE THE SHEARS COMPLETELY.

6. Continue back cutting around the top of the head to lightly remove the weight.

7. Back cutting will allow the multiple dimensions to show because we have used 2 different colors for application. This creates a natural look.

8. Begin to smooth the hair with a styling iron to see the shape of the haircut.

9. Remember to keep the angle of the haircut in the front. Depending on how dramatic the haircut is will depend on how steep the angle is.

Tousled Beach Waves

 1. Section and cleanly apply Hotheads Extensions to give your guest long wavy hair that holds it’s style.

 2. Soften the perimeter of the newly applied extensions. Trim or dust the extensions to blend them with your guest’'s natural hair. Cutting the hair at a diagonal while using the guest’s hair as a guide will ensure the most natural blend.

 3. After application is complete, use 1” curling rod, wrap hair around rod and hold for 2 seconds. After this pull downward on the curl. Alternate sections by holding the curling rod downward, then upward. Use a thermal-protecting flexible spray like Martino Cartier’s You Had Me at Hello to begin building volume.

 4. As you continue around the head, scrunch the curls to give them additional texture. As you arrive at the front, curl away from the face.

 5. When the entire head is curled, spray with Martino Cartier’s Shut Up & Kiss Me Texture Spray. This will create gorgeous volume.

 6. Finish with a working spray and blow dry the hair slightly. Voila, a natural, tousled and beachy wave, perfect for summer!

Balayage Tutorial

Hotheads Platform Artist Alicia Iannone creates a seamless balayage using extensions. By providing extensions as a method to change hair colors, you are creating solutions for many clients that do not want to color their hair! 

1. My guest’s natural color matched Hotheads Color #8 (Dark Blonde) so for this Balayage, I chose #8, #23 (Beige Blonde), #25 (Pale Yellow) & #613 (Platinum) to create a natural, dimensional Balayage.

2. Using the Hotheads Application Method, I added highlights without lifting my model’s hair color.

3. I used #23 on bottom and #8 on top, to achieve a softer look. Working toward the face, use brighter shades to create a bolder look.

4.  Using your texturizing shears, thin out #8 (or top color) so that the bottom shade appears brighter. For guests looking for bolder highlights, place a blonde on top of another blonde.

5.  As you approach the temple, use #25 on the bottom and #8 on top. #8 matches the model’s base color, allowing #25 to peek through.

6.  For dimensional, but bold color effects, alternate the blondes used throughout the application.

7. When application is complete, take a look at the entire head to make sure there are no gaps or separations throughtout.

8. Once the whole head has been applied, dust the ends of the perimeter to flawlessly blend extensions. Hotheads Extensions are pre-layered, so in most cases you will only need to trim the ends.

By providing extensions as a method to change hair colors, you are creating solutions for many clients that do not want to color their hair.

Holiday Braided Chignon

     

Holiday Braided Chignon with Kelly Saks 

Instant length and volume is one of the greatest services you can provide your guests. With the use of Hotheads Extensions, you can create volume in as little as one pack (depending on the density of their hair). Many guests are looking to add length to achieve star quality hair styles, voluminous up-do's and pinterest-worthy braids.

All you need to create this look:    

Hotheads Extensions  

(1 Pack ) No. 6 in lengths 18” - 20” 

(2 packs) No. 8 in lengths 18” - 20”  

• Bobby Pins 

• Claw Clips 

• Sectioning Comb 

• Hair Bands or Ties

• Shears   

 1.Once you apply Hotheads extensions, begin by curling the hair to create extra texture. A deconstructed braid looks effortless and chic! If you are trying to achieve a sleek, finished look, skip the curling iron and opt for a high-quality flat iron.   

2. Consider the neckline and jewelry that will be worn, to select the side that the chignon will rest on.  Now the hair is ready to be braided. Begin by separating the hair into 2 vertical parts.  Pull a thin strand of hair from the outside of the left section. Pull it over to the inside of the right section.  if you want a tight braid, take even strands from each side. If you want a more messy look, take uneven strands. 

3. Repeat step 2, alternating sides until you reach the end of the braid. Fasten with a hair tie.   

4. Once you have achieved your desired braid, start at the top and gently tug pieces of the braid to give it a tousled look. For a sleek finish skip deconstructing the braid. Voila! A perfect daytime look.  

5. For a modern chignon, grab the end of the braid and knot it around the top (as you would a bun). Fasten with bobby pins that match your guest’s hair color.  

6. Mist with your favorite finishing spray and they're set to party! For these and more tutorials, stay tuned to the Hotheads Pinterest.
