Nothing says Molly-Mae like her signature blonde, bouncy curls. This style is timeless whatever month of the year, and is perfect for adding some glam to your holiday hair looks, day or night!

Products needed for this look:

Did you know? This style was created using just Clip-in Extensions! Clip-ins are Molly’s go-to for switching up her look on vacay, and are her essential for creating high volume looks.

Start by taking your clip-in extensions, sectioning the hair so you can easily apply each row. Molly wears 20” Double Hair Set, however any length will work for this look dependent on the desired finish. Our top application tip? Always start from the bottom of your head and work your way up - this creates a smoother, more seamless blend as the wefts will sit flat to the head, on top of each other. For extra hold, gently backcomb at the root and spray with Super Hold Hair Spray for extra grip, this creates an anchor for the extensions to clip onto. All of our clip-in extensions are made from the finest quality 100% Remy double drawn human hair. This means that you can heat and style your extensions just as you would style your natural hair, and switch up your looks with one clip-in set!

Top Tip - Invest in a Beauty Works Hairdrobe® to store your clip-ins in style when travelling. Our vegan leather Hairdrobe® is a stylish, protective case for your hair that is suitcase friendly and will be your new travel essential. It also comes with a hair hanger so you can hang your hair up once you arrive at your destination. You can also use the hanger to style your extensions before you apply!

To create Molly’s signature curls, she designed her iconic, bestselling Curl Kit, which contains all of the essential tools you need to achieve the Molly-Mae look. The kit contains Molly’s limited edition pink Professional Styler curling wand, which features an extra long barrel, designed for even the longest hair lengths, so you don’t run out of room when styling. This was a particularly important feature for her as a lover of hair extensions! The kit also contains Molly’s Oval Bristle Brush, featuring 100% vegan bristles to dress out her curls, plus 10 setting clips which are part of the most crucial step for creating this look - pin curling!

Start the look by applying heat protection to your hair and extensions, Molly’s go-to are the Beauty Works Heat Protection Spray and 10-in-1 Miracle Spray. This is particularly important when you’re on vacay as strong UV rays and high temperatures can cause damage and dry out your hair. You wouldn’t scrimp on sun cream so don’t forget to protect your locks too! Start to curl your hair by taking 1-2 inch sections, curling away from face at all times. The smaller the section, the tighter the curl will be, so in warmer temperatures it can be best to reduce your section size for a longer-lasting curl. Hold the hair on the wand for between 5-8 seconds, slowly dropping the curl into your hand from the wand, before pinning to set.

Top Tip - Pinning your curls in the heat is a must for long-lasting curls, as humidity and high temperatures can cause hair to drop quicker. Leave extra time for your curls to cool in the heat and pin for 30-60 minutes.

Once the curls have completely cooled and set into place you can remove your pin curls. Take care when unpinning to keep your curls intact, then take the Oval Bristle Brush and gently brush through your curls to dress them out. This will transform the tight curls into Molly’s signature big, bouncy finish!

Top Tip - Spray Beauty Works Super Hold Hairspray directly onto your brush to set your curls in place before brushing through. This will distribute the product evenly for a longer lasting hold.

Finish off with Beauty Works Argan Serum to tame flyaways and enhance shine. Our bestselling serum is packed with vitamins and the finest argan oils to lock in hydration whilst enhancing texture for a high gloss finish.
