Hair Extensions allow women to add a couple of inches and volume to their locks without waiting for them to grow. There are several extensions to choose from, and this can be daunting to first time users. I recommend using a professional hairstylist to give you a consultation in which you will find out the method they use, discuss the look you want to achieve and receive a price quote. Here are some tips to help you along the way.
Human Hair
When choosing the best hair extensions, you should check whether it is made from natural human hair or synthetic. Not only will human hair last longer, it will look like your real hair and can be treated like one. With synthetic hair you cannot use any heat (such as blow-dryer or irons) or swim with them in.
Remy Hair Extensions
Remy is the method of bundling human hair to keep roots and ends in the correct direction. Hair extensions made from Remy are often tangled free because the cuticles of the strands don’t get caught against each other. Remy hair is also considered to be the healthiest because it is picked one strand at a time.
Seamless Hair Extensions
Hotheads hair extensions are placed close to the head and not near the hairline to maintain the illusion that it is your real hair and not extensions. It must be applied to go according to the natural direction of the hair to make it flow with the real ones. Most important there is no use of tools and heat. Which would keep your hair from getting damage.
Hair Extensions Must Match Hair Color
Not getting the right hair color is a common mistake made by people who get extensions. Most extension companies offer a wide range of colors that make it easier for women to find the right shade. It also allows low-lights and highlights to add depth and tone without the use of other treatments.
Maintenance of Hair Extensions
High quality hair extensions don’t require additional maintenance compared to your natural hair. In order to keep the hair healthy, you should brush it regularly, wear it up at night, and use high quality products to clean it. You don’t need to deviant from your normal hair care routine. Avoid sleeping while the hair is still wet.
Hair Extensions are Safe
Your natural hair will not be damaged as long as you properly maintain and care for it. Once you removed the hair extensions, it may take up to a week for your own hair density to feel normal again. Please continue to see your hairstylist for your normal hair routine.
