1. The elegant low bun — 5 minutes

The ultimate office hairstyle. Simple, refined and timeless — the low bun takes on a whole new dimension with extensions, fuller and more structured than with natural hair alone.

Steps
  • 1.Clip your extensions into the middle and lower layers
  • 2.Brush all your hair back and secure it in a low ponytail with a hair tie
  • 3.Twist the ponytail and wrap it around the hair tie to form a compact bun
  • 4.Secure with invisible hairpins and smooth any flyaways with a light touch of hairspray

✅ Tip: for an even more polished result, lightly straighten your hair before forming the bun. The volume added by the extensions makes the bun fuller and more elegant — even on fine hair.

2. The sleek ponytail — 3 minutes

The quickest route to a flawless professional look. A well-smoothed ponytail with extensions gives the impression of thick, healthy hair — perfect for busy mornings when every minute counts.

Steps
  • 1.Clip in your extensions or use your Royal Extension ponytail directly
  • 2.Brush all your hair back, smoothing the sides with a flat paddle brush
  • 3.Secure in a mid or high ponytail with a strong hair tie
  • 4.Wrap a small section of hair around the band for a polished finish and secure with a pin

✅ Tip: apply a light smoothing cream to the sides before brushing to eliminate frizz and achieve an ultra-sleek look with no residue. The Royal Extension ponytail is an express alternative — fitted in 2 minutes for a stunning result.

3. The neat side braid — 7 minutes

Elegant without being too casual, the side braid adds a feminine touch to a professional look. With extensions, it is longer, denser and more striking — a real asset for important meetings.

Steps
  • 1.Clip your extensions into all layers of your hair
  • 2.Create a side parting and sweep all your hair over to one shoulder
  • 3.Plait a classic three-strand braid, keeping it tight and even from root to tip
  • 4.Secure with a clear elastic and smooth flyaways with a light mist of hairspray

✅ Tip: unlike a boho braid, keep this one tight and uniform for a professional finish. Use a light hairspray on flyaways to keep the style looking sharp throughout the day.

4. The twisted half-bun — 5 minutes

The best of both worlds: lengths that fall freely for volume and elegance, with the top half pinned up for a polished, professional edge. A versatile look that works just as well in a boardroom as at afterwork drinks.

Steps
  • 1.Clip your extensions into the lower layers of your hair
  • 2.Separate the top half of your hair and gently twist it
  • 3.Coil the twist into a small, compact bun at the crown of your head
  • 4.Secure with flat invisible pins — the lengths fall freely below

✅ Tip: add a few loose waves to the falling lengths before forming the half-bun. The contrast between the structured top and the softly waved lengths is particularly flattering for all face shapes.

5. The professional sleek blowdry — 10 minutes

For the big days — interviews, presentations, client meetings. A sleek, full and glossy blowdry in 100% natural Remy Hair projects an image of confidence and precision. Ten minutes of effort for a full day of impact.

Steps
  • 1.Clip in your extensions layer by layer, starting from the nape
  • 2.Apply a heat protection spray to all the lengths before any heat tool
  • 3.Straighten section by section with a flat iron (160–180°C max), using one slow, steady pass
  • 4.Finish with a few drops of shine serum on the lengths for a silky, luminous result

✅ Tip: to keep the style sleek all day at the office, finish with a light mist of hairspray held 30 cm from the hair. Avoid heavy products that weigh the lengths down — a light serum is all you need for lasting shine.
