    At long last, Netflix’s most binge-worthy TV series is back! Emily in Paris has finally returned for a fourth season, starring actress Lily Collins. Fans everywhere are rejoicing at the character’s latest outfits and chic hair looks, with many rushing to their keyboards to find out how they can achieve the iconic Emily in Paris hair. We’ll be taking you through Emily’s hair journey throughout the seasons, as well as some of the show’s most iconic hairstyles adorned by Emily, Mindy, Sylvie and Camille. Read on to find out how to create them using our luxury Remy hair extensions!

    Emily Cooper’s Hair Journey

    Since Emily first touched down in Paris in 2020, her hair and style has gone through a few major changes. In Season 1, we saw Emily sporting long, soft waves for the majority of the episodes. By Season 2, we’re introduced to a more mature side to the fashionista. Her hair has been cut slightly shorter and appears more sophisticated, while still boasting equally voluminous waves. Season 3 marks the main evolution for Emily’s locks, with her appearing on screen for the first time with a full fringe. Emily continues to evolve as the show goes on, as does her hair, sporting many elegant, retro updos.

    Now with the latest series gracing our screens, it’s clear that the hair and wardrobe department have certainly taken things up a notch, steering clear of Emily’s usual bright red beret. Emily is spotted throughout Season 4 wearing the likes of designers Jacquemus, Isabel Marant and Nina Ricci, confirming her love of couture. Her tresses are just as show-stopping, with her fringe demonstrating its versatility through a full, shiny look to a curtain bangs style and with a slicked back side part.

    10 Emily in Paris Hairstyles To Try

    Here’s our top 10 Emily in Paris hairstyles worn by Emily, Mindy, Camille and Sylvie that you can try throughout the rest of summer and beyond:

    Romantic Waves

    This look on Emily is the epitome of effortless glamour, perfect for any romantic rendezvous or even just to feel fabulous on an ordinary day. To create this ethereal style, start by clipping in your clip in extensions for extra volume and length – because when it comes to waves, more is definitely more. Then, grab a curling iron with a large barrel to create loose, beachy waves. Don’t be shy; wrap large sections of your hair around the barrel, holding for a few seconds to set the curl. Once you’ve curled your entire head, gently use our wave comb to blend your extensions seamlessly. Finish with a spritz of light-hold hairspray to keep your waves in place without losing their natural bounce. Voilà! 

    Roaring 20s

    Travel back to the dazzling era of flappers and speakeasies with the sultry, sophisticated allure of this roaring 20s hairstyle worn by Camille. This aesthetic is all about polished glamour with a touch of rebellion, perfect for channelling your inner vintage vixen. Using hair gel, slick back your fringe into your desired shape before creating deep finger waves by curling small sections of hair with a small barrel curling iron, pinning them flat against your forehead and around your head as they cool. Once cooled, carefully remove the pins and smooth the waves with our pintail comb, shaping them to your desired look. Finish with a generous amount of our moisturising silky spray to give your waves that iconic, glossy finish. Alternatively, you can keep your hair straight and sleek like Camille for a more modern twist. Whether you're heading to a Gatsby party or just want to feel like a vintage starlet, this style will transport you straight to the Jazz Age. 

    Luscious Layers

    Think bouncy, flowing locks that catch the light at every turn – this look is all about texture and volume. Begin by applying your clip-in hair extensions to add depth and fullness. The magic of this style is in the blend, so make sure the extensions match your hair's natural layers perfectly. Next, use our detangling hairbrush and a blow dryer to smooth out your hair while adding a touch of curl at the ends for that perfectly tousled effect. To accentuate the layers, you can also use hair straighteners to add subtle, loose waves. Layers can be best achieved with professional hair extensions, also known as permanent hair extensions, particularly with nano rings due to their discretion and ability to blend so seamlessly.

    Flirty Fringe

    Embrace your playful side with Emily’s flirty fringe! Whether you're going for a full, blunt fringe or soft, wispy bangs, this look is all about framing your face with a touch of flirtatious fun. If you don’t have bangs just yet, start by applying our clip in fringe just above your forehead so they fall correctly across your face, and feel free to trim them if needed to achieve your desired length style. Once your fringe is in place, smooth it out with hair straighteners, curving the ends slightly under to frame your face. With our clip in extensions, you can switch up your entire look in a matter of seconds! 

    High Ponytail

    Take your ponytail game to new heights with Mindy’s iconic high ponytail! This look is sleek, polished, and unapologetically bold, perfect for making a statement whether you’re at the gym or on the red carpet. Start by gathering your natural hair into a high ponytail, securing it tightly at the crown of your head. Next, clip in our wraparound ponytail extension, wrapping it around the base of your natural ponytail for extra volume and length. For that super sleek finish, wrap a small section of hair around the base to hide the extension clips, securing it with a bobby pin. Run hair straighteners over the entire ponytail to ensure it remains smooth and straight throughout the day and add a touch of moisturising silky spray for that glossy look.

    Swinging 60s

    Emily’s fringe is in full swing – and her fashion choices are too. In this episode, Emily rocks a 60s-inspired mod outfit, accentuated further by her full bangs and wavy, flowing tresses. Heavy volume on top paired with understated, shoulder-length waves that fall gracefully at the top of her trench coat are the perfect way to pay homage to the golden era of French cinema and groundbreaking fashion on screen.
