Ladies! That time of the year is upon us again! We can't believe it. Want to win best dressed at the races? Let us school you on the Spring Races Hairstyle Rules to ensure you win the race to be best dressed.

Spring Races Hairstyle Rules

Follow these rules and we can assure you that your hair will not be disqualified from the match:

SLEEK AND STRAIGHT (From the horses mouth)

To keep your hair and extensions sleek and straight throughout your day out, it is important to prep! Preparation is imperative for ladies who want to have a sleek and straight maine all day.

Sleek and straight Spring Races Hairstyle rules:

• Use a heat protectant prior to straightening to give your hair and extensions hydration and moisture
• Use a hair straightening iron and straighten in layers.
• Straighten your extensions BEFORE applying to your already straightened hair.
• Use an oil based serum to lightly coat your hair to prevent fly aways and fuzziness.
• set with hair spray
• Carry a purse friendly Tangle Tamer with you all day to brush our and maintain your sleek and straight look.

Go Big (or go home)

Like your bets, your hair should be BIG! There is nothing small about the Spring Races.

Go Big or Go Home spring hairstyle rules

• Curl your extensions the night before and pin each curl intact, setting with hairspray
• Curl your hair before applying extensions.
• Unpin the curls on your extensions and apply each piece to your hair.
• Brush your hair with a wide tooth comb to blend the curls.
• Use a volumizer spray (we find that dry shampoo works wonders) to give your hair body and bounce
• set with hairspray.
• Carry a purse friendly Tangle Tamer with you all day to keep your curls in order!

Braid the Mane: Updo's

To end the Spring Races Hairstyle Rules trifecta is a voluptuous maine... er braid. Ladies, if you are rocking a braid at the races, ensure you're hair stays put!

• Secure fly away bits with U shape bobby pins
• Lightly coat your hands with a wax based styling pomade and run through the ends of your hair to give your braid some hold for the whole day. (Careful as this can make your hair look greasy!)
• Strategically place your fascinator at the crown of your head to prevent it falling out- We would recommend securing with bobby pins.
