Hair Extensions Information

If you’ve ever considered hair extensions, you certainly aren’t in the minority. There are many, many people that have taken the plunge and added instant length to their manes.

But there are just as many people that shy away from extensions because they feel like they won’t look natural. If you’re still worried that you can’t find undetectable hair extensions, think again. Some of Hollywood’s hottest actresses are firm believers in extensions, and this includes some unexpected faces.

Which of Tinseltown’s best heads of hair use the aid of extensions? Think Reese Witherspoon, Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera, Ashley Tisdale, Renée Zellweger, and many others.

If you love their looks, maybe you should take a more serious look at hair extensions.

Just make sure you carefully match your hair color to the extension and purchase a high quality product. And if you want the best results possible, go to a salon and have a professional add the extensions.

Getting hair extensions can open up a new realm of possibilities for your look, but you’ll find that the most daunting task is trying to choose which style and color is right for you. Here are some simple tips:

• Determine what hair style that you want to wear. For a curly style, you would choose textured hair. For a glamorous look with curls, choose the wet-and-wavy hair. For a straight look, choose the silky straight, remi or the yaki straight hair.

• Match the hair extension color as close to your natural hair as possible. This makes the weave hair extension appear to be natural and not look like a wig. For a complimentary color in your hair, choose a streaked or highlighted extension. Apply the color extension highlights subtly to keep the natural look.

• Treat hair extensions just as you would natural hair. Take great care to shampoo and gently comb the hair extensions in between uses.

When you get hair extensions, your mind typically goes to how cute you look, but then – hours later – you have to deal with the aftermath how to take care of it.  Here are some easy tips to keep in mind:

Washing: Keep your hair clean. Hair tangles when dirt and sweat build up, wash your hair after exercise, swimming etc. Brush your hair and remove all tangles before washing it. Wash your hair going in a downward motion. Use a good quality shampoo. When lots of water is added at once to very dry hair, hair can swell up and tangle. Gradually wet the hair and brush gently before you completely wash it.

Styling: When brushing use a soft bristle brush, start at the ends of your hair and gently work your way up. Always brush in a downward motion. Do not brush harshly. Brush your hair 2 or 3 times a day. Heat is your one of your hair’s biggest enemy, the more you use it, the shorter your hair extensions will last. Be careful with the use of blowdryers and curling irons. It is best to let your hair dry naturally.

Exercise: Wear a cap when swimming or keep your hair out of the water. Chlorine and salt water can cause the hair to tangle and mat up. It is recommended to wear your hair up or in a ponytail when you swim or exercise

Sleeping: Never sleep on wet hair; make sure your hair is completely dry before you go to bed. It is also recommended to wrap your hair together or gently tie it up to prevent tangling.

Hair care products: Use a good (leave-in) conditioner to keep your hair soft. Don’t overdo it. Too much conditioner or any other hair care product can cause a build up and tangling. Avoid hair products that contain alcohol. Alcohol makes hair dry. Ask your stylist what would be the best products for your hair.

Hair treatments: Don’t perm, color or any other chemical process to your own hair extensions. Let your stylist take care of that.
