Embellished Wedding Hair Style using Melanj Hair Clip-ins

Wedding bells are in the air and wedding season is upon us. Whether you’ve spent the last year or the last month planning your special day, the stress of having every detail figured out can really get the best of you! Aside from the decor, the music and the guest list - one of the most important things to any bride is feeling and looking like the best version of yourself on your wedding day. The last thing you want is to feel uncomfortable or be unrecognizable on the day that’s all about you ….oh, and, your groom!

More and more brides are choosing to wear natural hairstyles for their big day; showcasing their curls and coils in the most creative ways. Some styles are very intricate and detailed while others are simple and elegant. Either way, the looks are giving exactly what they’re supposed to give!

One of our beloved brides, Kayla, chose to style her own hair using a set of Melanj Hair clip-ins for her wedding day. Kayla’s look features cascading curls and face framing embellishments for the perfect finishing touch to her bridal look. Let’s take a step by step look at how Kayla created her wedding day hairstyle.

Wedding hair Inspo using clip-ins by Melanj Hair

To start, she put her hair into two slicked back, low buns. This gives the style a foundation and makes it where it sticks out a bit from your head instead of laying more flat.

She began placing her clip-ins pieces around the buns and in the center, laying each clip-in weft until the back of her head was completely covered.

For the last piece, she used the largest weft and placed it upside down near the front half of her head. This is to create volume at the top of the head and ensures no wefts are exposed.

She then secures a beautiful head piece with bobby pins right along where that last clip-in piece was installed.

To finish the look, she uses eyelash glue to attach flat-headed pearls in the area between her hairline and the embellished head piece. This really ties the look together!

The finished look is stunning and we can't believe how simple it is to re-create!

Out of the box, the hair is pretty. I smelled chemicals immediately, and I should have sent it right back because, from my experience, hair that smells that strongly never holds for long (it smelled of chemicals even after 3 months of washing). I was right. It definitely gives a very full look with one clip-in bundle. The curl pattern is more of a looser zig-zag than cork screw. If you're experienced with blending, you can work with it, but if your curl pattern is ringlets/spiral, this isn't a match. It sheds easily before even installing. I was more gentle with this hair than any bundles I've ever had, and still, it only lasted 3 months. I didn't use heavy styling creams. I washed gently weekly. The hair was coming out in clumps until it was so thin I looked sick. I bought this hair because I AM sick and my hair is thinning due to my autoimmune disease. Now I've wasted $300 plus.

The best hair

Have had this hair for 3 months and I’m so glad that I invested in Melanj Hair. I love the company name printed on the inside of the clips, they’re comfortable and the hair mimics down to the curl of my natural hair and the shrinkage afterwards. There is minimal shedding and I’ve been able to make ponytails, French braids and other styles with this hair and people have commented that my hair is so thick and pretty! I just send them to Melanj website!

Flawless

Amazing hair, looks great and looked like it came out of my roots.

Excellent match for 4c hair

was a bit thrown off at first by how dense it was when I first received it but after styling it, it’s definitely worth it! I don’t have a lot of experience with wigs and thought it’d be ready to use straight out of the box but especially due to the texture, you have to be prepared to style, ie melt, straighten, cut, etc before use. Also if you have a smaller face/frame, the density might be overwhelming and you may opt to thin it out. Overall I’m happy with this hair as it really works well with my hair and looks soo natural which is exactly what I want !
