2024 Hairstyle Trends – And How to Use Extensions to Achieve Them

2024 hairstyle trends are already in full swing. Today we're bringing you a style forecast on what's going to be big in hair throughout this year. We will also show you how extensions can help you achieve the look you want. It’s not just about embracing the hottest trends—it's about making them your own. 

Balayage Color Dimension Without the Chemicals 

Balayage, a color trend based on the French term meaning "to sweep," has become a reigning star in the world of hair trends, and for good reason. This hand-painted coloring technique offers a natural, sun-kissed effect by seamlessly blending hues, creating a soft transition between colors. What makes balayage truly exceptional is its ability to add depth and dimension without harsh lines or regrowth issues. For those seeking to embrace this timeless elegance without the commitment of chemical treatments, hair extensions can be an incredible option. Extensions allow you to experiment with balayage's captivating color variations without altering your natural hair.  

Donna Bella Hair’s balayage weft extensions give you natural-looking, sunkissed dimension and are great for a lived-in, low-maintenance look. Balayage works well with all hair types and lengths and can also give more depth to thinning hair. 

Whether you want to add highlights and lowlights to your hair for the first time, or maybe you’ve been dyeing your hair for years and you’re tired of the drying, damaging effect of the harsh chemicals on your natural hair, say hello to balayage extensions—a trend in hair color that’s here to stay. This is one of our favorite 2024 hairstyle trends; balayage has been in style for years and years and we love that extensions can give you the option to achieve this look without damaging your hair.

Textured and Messy Styles 

Effortless and textured hairstyles are staying for 2024 hairstyle trends. Think messy buns, undone waves, and bedhead-inspired looks that convey a relaxed, carefree vibe. Textured extensions provide the volume and length needed to achieve these styles with ease. The additional hair allows for more intricate braids, fuller buns, and flowing waves, enhancing the overall effect. The versatility of extensions enables you to embrace the ever-popular textured aesthetic without compromising on the volume and depth that characterize these effortlessly cool hairstyles. 

Which methods should you consider if you want to boost your volume and create a high-volume look? If you’ve an hour or so for the salon, texture Tape-ins are a great option. Tape-Ins last 1-2 months, and you can reinstall them 1-3 times. That means with the right aftercare, one hair purchase can last you up to 6 months or more!  

If you want the freedom to put the extensions in and take them out whenever you want, there are two DIY methods available: clip-ins and halos. The beauty of these extension methods lies not just in their convenience but also their ability to deliver an unforgettable style no matter the season. Whether you’re looking for textured layers under a beanie in winter, an elegant half-up hairstyle for spring, fuller braids or beachy waves in summer, or a messy pinned updo in fall, DIY extensions keep you on-trend all year. 

Highly Customized Hair That Brings Out Your Unique Confidence  

2024 hairstyle trends are evolving beyond the one-size-fits-all approach, now emphasizing personalization to match your unique personality, bone structure, and features. We’re seeing a lot of hairstyles that celebrate natural beauty and highlight your personal style and texture on full display. So one of the best questions you can ask yourself as you’re planning your look for 2024 is, what makes you feel most confident?   

If you have any hair challenges or concerns— maybe some thinning hair or patchy areas—extensions can be a game changer. For discreet coverage, we recommend micro bonding, an installation technique that involves cutting down the bonds for Kera-Link (fusion) or Tape-In extensions. This technique works great if you have postpartum hair loss, thinning hair, or areas near the hairline that aren't as voluminous as they once were. 

Additionally, if you’re someone who gets bored waiting for your hair to grow, or you just want the freedom to style your hair with more volume in it, extensions can be a welcome change. Talk to your stylist about personalizing them to your unique goals and to match your natural style, color and density. 

In 2024 hairstyle trends, we’re going to see a lot of extensions used for more than just glamorous updos and mermaid length—more for providing an everyday polished look, or solving a specific problem.
