If you believe that nice looking hair is the key to every woman’s appearance. Then you need to sit tight and keep reading this blog!
HOW TO CHOOSE HAIR EXTENSIONS
There are many factors to consider when choosing the best hair extensions set for yourself. Here I cover the most important aspects that will help you to make the right choice.
NATURAL HUMAN HAIR VS SYNTHETIC
When looking for the best hair extensions, you should check whether they are made with natural human hair or synthetic materials. Not only will human hair last longer, but it will also look like your own hair and can be treated likewise.
In choosing always remember that you cannot use heat with synthetic hair. Forget about the hair dryer, straighteners or any other styling tools. Natural hair, on the other hand, can withstand any heat application. You can make a beautiful curl or straighten your hair if you wish.
ONLINE VS IN-STORE
When shopping online, especially for expensive products, always pay attention to the quality of the website. It is important to be able to read about the product before making a purchase.
Make sure there is an option to easily contact the team in case you have any urgent questions. Deciding to buy your hair extensions in-store, make sure you find a good assistant ask questions about the company and the quality of the hair they use, the color that will match your hair and the style you want.
Whether it’s online or in-store, we recommend doing your research!
HOW MUCH HAIR
One of the aspects to consider when choosing the hair extensions is how much actual hair and how many wefts you get for your money.
Again, make sure to ask this to the store where you are getting at…
CLIP-IN HAIR EXTENSIONS VS TAPE-IN
If you are looking for a quick hair extension system with no long-term bonding, then you have found it. Clip-in hair extensions are easy to attach and can be perfectly matched with your own hair. They give you longer hair, lowlights, highlights or added volume. All clip–in hair extensions come in one or multiple pieces (wefts) of various widths. These extensions can be clipped–in or out in minutes and are virtually undetectable. I believe this is a great solution to having longer hair with less damage. You can wear them only when you want or for a special occasion. No need to commit to high maintenance hair extensions which require regular salon visits to fix and maintain them.
However, Tape-in hair extensions are thin tape wefts, 1-inch wide pre-taped hair wefts, that get “taped-in” in between your own hair in “sandwich” like bonds. This method is 100% natural, requires no tools or chemicals, and lasts up to three months. The hair is reusable. It takes less than an hour to apply an entire head with zero damage.
The application of tape hair extensions is pretty simple. You section your hair into a thin straight line, remove the backing tape seal and place it under a small section of your natural hair, as close to the scalp as possible.
Different hair extensions in the market! Although with one same goal - having the best of your look! Whatever type of hair extensions you choose, remember to familiarize yourself with the products beforehand. Also, try to go for the best quality you can afford. It will pay off in the long term. After all, it’s your look you invest in.
