Scene Hair Extensions

Red And Pink Extensions

HOW TO GET IT

This is a hair style which tends to be common among scene girls and consists of extensions which one can buy in various colours, making the process of dying the hair unnecessary. To attach the extensions I would recommend going to a salon or any other hair business where they provide such services. If you feel compelled to attach them yourself I'd have a look at the following SITE. Or view one of the videos below :

Large Back and Top - Spiked Look

This unique scene hairstyle is achieved by cutting the back of the hair quite a bit shorter than the front, and layering the sides a bit so that you are able to put some of the hair up while still giving a longish appearance. To stick the back of the hair up you can use hair wax or hair spray. When applying hairspray it is important to remember that it is most effective to use while blow drying the hair as the hair spray hardens quicker and allows you to achieve your desired shape easier. There are some video tutorials of how to do this in the scene video tutorial area.

Step 3 : Check if your straightener has warmed up to the appropriate temperature.Most hair straighteners have a light which tells you when it has reached the desired temperature.

Step 4 : Begin straightening the hair from the root, pulling down hard right to the tip of the hair.When straightening, clamp individual areas of hair and continue until you are happy with the result, then repeat this through all the hair you want straightened.
