The X-Factor Judges Show Us How to Style Hair Extensions
Throughout the years, there have been a lot of X-Factor judges. We mean, it began in 2004 (we know, are you serious? Where does time go?!) so it’s not really surprising that they’ve been through their fair share of employees. It’s just like any other workplace – just with a few more celebs and everyone’s on TV every week. So, maybe a bit different from our jobs… With this number of judges and thirteen years on our screens, there have been whole lot of hairstyles. To be honest, the X-Factor judges are usually pretty good with their hair; it’s the clothes they wear that can cause some controversy. So, after so long, we thought we’d take a look at their* (*their stylists) skills at work, finding some of the best lengthy looks we’ve seen throughout the years for some hair extensions inspo.
When it comes to styling extensions, Cheryl’s go-to look is absolutely perfect. The lass certainly knew what she was doing! The style we’re talking about is of course those famous, loose curls that she used to commonly rock on the judging panel. Glam, chic and pretty much effortless! The large, relaxed curls and plenty of volume make hiding extension clips and bonds super easy, with very little chance of anything showing through. The style also makes full use of the added length, volume and texture extensions can provide, giving a girl her money’s worth! Our extensions are perfect for holding curls and will keep a beautiful, healthy shine to ensure a glam look, just like Cheryl’s!
This style mixes the glamour of a natural, understated wave with the laid-back look of a top knot, and we’re totally obsessed! Easy to achieve and great for longer lengths (so make sure you’ve got your extensions, girls!), this style’s a winner for a simple day to night look. Rita Ora wore this to X-factor auditions and definitely caught everyone’s eye. The look features another half-up-half-down do, but this time with more hair up and tied into a tight top-knot high on the head, whilst the remaining hair follows one singular wave on each side. Gorgeous! To get Rita’s look, take the hair from just above your ears and upwards and tie into a very tight top-knot, making sure to smooth the hair down and keep it in place with hairspray. Cover any extension bonds or clips with the hair you’re tying up and check all angles with a mirror to avoid any peeking through.
