Looking to achieve one of those famously stunning Jennifer Lopez hairstyles? Glamorous JLo is the mother of young twins and an international best-selling superstar, and she always manages to look sensationally stunning on the red carpet. Jennifer isn’t afraid to try something new, both with her outfit choices and her hair extensions and hairstyles. Here we take a sneak peek at her best looks…
High Ponytail
The high ponytail is a trademark of Jennifer’s, ever since her well-known single ‘Jenny From The Block’ exploded onto the music scene. The look represents a gritty glamour and looks elegant whilst still providing a sense of edginess. Getting this look couldn’t be easier – simply sweep all of your hair back into a tight ponytail, using a water-based gel to ensure a smooth and slick look. Smooth down any flyaway hairs with hair spray. Next take a Cliphair clip in ponytail hair extensions. As the hair in our hairpieces is the finest quality 100% Remy human hair, it can be curled and straightened. Using a curling tong, curl the ends of the ponytail and secure with hairspray. Fix the ponytail on top of your own and voila – JLo’s look in minutes.
The Sleek Bun
Even when she goes for a slick and tidy look, Jennifer Lopez also uses hair extensions. She often goes for very slicked-back looks, which look smart and striking – also providing the perfect canvas for a daring makeup look and outfit choice. This Jlo hair look can also be achieved very easily and quickly – a good choice for a sophisticated night out or a more dramatic day look. Placing your hair extensions lower down your head will help you to achieve a really smooth upper look. Comb your hair into a centre parting before fixing it in a ponytail at the nape of your neck. This ponytail should be tight and smooth, so it’s a good idea to use
A fine-toothed comb. Take a hair doughnut, the bigger the better in this case, and pull your ponytail through it, using the lengths to hide the doughnut. Finish the look with a shine spray to add a glisten to your look.
Long And Straight
Here Jennifer oozes glamour and sex appeal, thanks to the simplicity of her look. This style can be achieved by anyone, no matter the regular length of your hair, as Cliphair stock hair extensions in up to 26 inches long. To get Jennifer Lopez's long hair extensions look, go for a double weft clip in hair extensions set in 24 inches and thoroughly straighten them before finishing with an anti-humidity serum to avoid any frizz. A centre parting looks glamorous, and is currently bang on trend.
Beautiful Bangs
Jennifer looks stunning with an eyebrow-skimming fringe, which frames her face and looks sultry and seductive. Cutting a fringe can be a risky move – if you don’t like it or it doesn’t suit you growing it out can be a nightmare. These days that needn’t be a problem – celebrities and us mere mortals alike can try out a fringe thanks to clip in fringes – hair pieces made from the same excellent quality hair as our regular hair extensions. These are really easy to attach, and undetectable. To get that Jennifer Lopez hair, cut into your fringe upwards to thin it slightly and leave it to skim your eyebrows. Backcomb the rest of your hair slightly to give it some height and va va voom.
Extreme Volume
Having big, beautiful and bouncy hair is no longer a luxury limited to the rich and famous – everyone can get this and other Jennifer Lopez hairstyles thanks to double-wefted hair extensions, and backcombing. Our double weft clip in hair extensions include double the amount of hair on one weft, meaning your hair will look thicker with the same amount. Jennifer Lopez's hair extensions are highlighted here – a great idea as we approach summertime as it can give you a sun-kissed, pretty look. Check out Cliphair’s wide range of mixed shades for a highlighted shade to suit you. For an extra voluminous look like Jennifer’s, backcomb each section of your own hair before attaching the extensions, you’re guaranteed to turn heads!
Claw Clip Hairdo
JLo's claw clip hairstyle went literally viral, especially since this 90's-inspired hair accessory experienced a true boom and found new popularity in recent times. And how could a trend-setter like Jennifer miss out on a gorgeous claw-clip hairdo?
Recreating it with the help of your hair extensions is as easy as one, two, three: if you want to wear clip ins, we highly suggest seamless hair extensions for ultimate discretion. Wear them in upside down so that they stay concealed, then gather your hair up and use your claw clip on the back to hold your hair together. There are many different ways of wearing a claw clip: you can find out more about it and find new styling ideas in our dedicated blog - How To Put Your Hair In A Claw Clip.

Styling Tips And Techniques
If you want to make one or more of these gorgeous Jlo hair looks yours, make sure you make the most of your hair extensions and arm yourself with the perfect hair tools for the job. To achieve these looks, you'll need:
A hair extensions detangling brush: you may think that any paddle brush can do the job when it comes to hair extensions, but this couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, you'll need a specific brush that can detangle your tresses without damaging your hair extensions seams and attachments. Our recommendation? But the Wet One by Cliphair, of course. With its flexible bristles and ergonomic handle, brushing your hair whether it's dry or wet will turn into a seamless, easy experience.
Pro tip: use it on your wet hair after washing to create a perfectly detangle canvas for your blow-drying and styling.
A pintail comb: the perfect tool to achieve neat sections when applying clip in hair extensions, also useful to create clean middle-parting (just like JLo's), and backcombing your roots to give your clip ins maximum grip. Get your pintail comb today, and don't miss out on flawless styling!

With a few spritzes of Moisturising Hair Spray, your natural hair and hair extensions will have enhanced shine, softness, and manageability. Everything you want in your tresses!

Gel & hairspray: in order to keep your slicked-back ponytail where you want it, or give more hold to curls and waves, products like a hair gel or hairspray are an essential that should always be in your hair styling bag.
Pro tip: if you have any baby hairs, use your favourite gel and a toothbrush to style them in a glamorous, face-framing way.
Velcro rollers: want to achieve those big, bouncy curls and flawless blowouts? Velcro rollers are one of the easiest ways to achieve these looks whilst letting your hair dry. If you want quicker results, you can always use heated hair rollers, too.
Pro tip: wear your Velcro rollers in the morning so that by the time the sun goes down, your tresses will be styled and ready for a glamorous night out.
Heat protection spray: the essential for your hair's health. The Cliphair Heat Protection spray is what you need to shield your tresses from any heat damage - may it be from your hair dryer, heated hair rollers, or curling wands and flat irons. A true staple!
