1. Section off your hair, little by little using bobby pins or a claw clip.
2. Stretch out the piece before you clip it in. This will ensure the hair lays flat.
3. Overlap and line up the clips as you work your way up your head. Helps give the effect of layers.
4. As you get to the top of your head, start to vary the position of the clips to help blend the look with your natural hair.
5. Make sure to purchase a variety of sizes. Grab a few three clip sections, some two clips and several one clip pieces to use to frame your face.

1. Shorter Hair = Smaller Tools – If you need a curling iron or straightener to set your style, consider picking up travel or mini sized tools. These tools tend to have small plates and cooler temperatures perfect for styling Ultima hair.

2. Pick, Brush, Comb – You can restore your style with water at anytime and funk it back up with a few swipes of a pick. Give it a slight tease for height or use a brush to smooth each and every strand.

3. Minimal Hair, Minimal Product – Stay away from styling gels, goops and creams with shorter hair. Control your usage by adding no more than a nickel-sized amount of pH-balanced product to your look.

One of our favorite beauty bloggers, Afrobella reported on the benefits of vinegar for skin and hair. With Ultima hair, just a few drops of vinegar added to a spray bottle filled with water will help remove any styling product build-up and clarify each and every strand. Plus, a spritz of vinegar will help keep your scalp clean and healthy no matter your hair style.

To use vinegar on your hair, apple cider vinegar is your best bet with a pH balance closest to natural hair.  Be sure to dilute the vinegar in water before applying to your Ultima hair and natural hair, at a ration of 4 parts water to 1 part vinegar.

- Before bed, brush and wrap your hair. Secure with bobby pins and cover.

- Make sure to use a nozzle attachment whenever you blow dry. Point the dryer nozzle down toward the floor to smooth the cuticle and turn up the shine.

- Invest in a tamer. Slip a product like John Frieda’s Full Repair Touch-Up Flyaway Tamer in your bag so you can de-frizz and brush up even on the go.

One way to work with your Ultima organic protein hair is olive oil. After using pH balanced shampoo and conditioner, you can set your style with a light mist of olive oil instead of harsh hairspray. Here are a few reasons why olive oil mist benefits your Ultima protein hair:

1.  Olive oil nourishes both your Ultima hair and natural hair, enriching both with healthy fats and vitamin E.

2. Protects hair from alcohol-based styling products AND heat styling tools like hair dryers and curling irons.

3. Can extend the life of your investment, making Ultima protein hair last even longer

4.  A light mist can replace the need for hair spray or holding products and set your overall look until you need to restore.

5. Brings out shine and gleam to styles from straight to curly, enhancing highlights and lowlights.

You can even make your own olive oil mist using a kitchen mister and light olive oil. Remember to keep your mist light!

During the summer months, environmental factors like heat, humidity and sun can cause more than a few bad hair days, but with Ultima hair, you’re in control. Each strand has a unique collagen protein structure that retains moisture just like human hair. Moisture helps give Ultima hair proteins a soft, silky quality that can carry styling products and restore using just water.

For straight, frizz-free looks, Ultima Ambassador Stylist Melany Gilchrist Williams explains, “You can restore Ultima Hair by misting with plain water. After misting, straight dry under a warm heat dryer or blow dry at medium heat.”

If you’re curly, mist your hair and reset by finger curling or braiding as you style. You can always use a low to medium heat hair dryer, curling iron or other heat styling tool to fix misbehaving curls. Make sure to protect curly and straight style while you sleep by wearing a silk or satin scarf.

Keep a spray bottle handy during the summer months, it will not only keep your hair looking fab but will help you stay cool, too!

Whether you are the bride, always a bridesmaid or just a guest, there are so many ways to make Ultima organic protein hair work for an upcoming wedding or formal event. Here are four simple looks we love for four distinct weddings.

Traditional – Go clean and classic with a low chignon secured right at the nape of your neck. Pull back your Ultima protein hair and twist the hair up, tuck the ends into a roll and secure with bobby pins.

Black Tie – For a formal event, channel your glamourous with curls and a dramatic bang. Use a waver or curling iron on a low heat to style and set your Ultima protein hair.

Garden – Style hair up high to show off your dress and jewelry. Slick hair back into a high ponytail at the crown of the head and use a flat iron on your ends for a little extra polish.

Beach – Hair will be sitting pretty next to the waves with a low ponytail swept over to one side. Gather hair, pull to one shoulder and secure near your ear. Spice it up with a sparkly hair accessory and take the look from day to night.
