"Like spray tans and facials, hair extensions are one of those beauty procedures that some women never think of trying until they&amp;#x27;re ready to walk down the aisle. It&amp;#x27;s super common for brides to incorporate some form of faux hair into their wedding hairstyle--the key is to choose extensions that will look natural, not &amp;quot;Jersey Shore&amp;quot; (uh, no offense, Sammi). Here are a few tips to keep in mind if you&amp;#x27;re going to DIY your extensions (if you plan to get more permanent ones at a salon, read all about them here). - Clip-in extensions aren&amp;#x27;t just for making hair longer. They&amp;#x27;re just as useful for making hair look fuller. For example, if you&amp;#x27;ll be wearing your hair half-up but don&amp;#x27;t want the loose section to fall flat, you could add a clip-in hairpiece and then style the top section so it overlaps the edge where the piece clips in. If you choose clip-in extensions that are the same length as your hair (instead of longer), it&amp;#x27;s easier for them to blend in and look natural. - Sneaky little hairpieces make it really easy to fake (or improve) an updo. If you&amp;#x27;re wearing your hair up, there are many options for bulking up a bun or chignon. Some pieces look like scrunchies with hair growing all over them--you can wrap them around a simple bun to add thickness and a pretty, piecey texture. Or you can even buy a bun that you stick on with a claw clip; arrange your real hair around it to help it seamlessly blend. Or, you could buy a clip-on ponytail and wind it into a loose bun along with your real hair. - Splurge on real hair if you can--but even cheapie extensions can work really well. My friend who was a totally classy bride has a secret--her hairstylist wove synthetic Jessica Simpson hair extensions into her updo! While real-hair extensions look way more natural when your hair is down, wedding updos are usually pinned and hairsprayed to such an extent that it&amp;#x27;s unlikely anyone could tell whether yours are high-quality or thrifty.
