1. Go to a Professional Hair Stylist:

If you want an expert job done, trust an expert with your hair. Only a professional hair stylist with years of experience at a reputed salon can do a good job to your hair. Before you wreck your hair in the hands of a local parlour beautician, think twice and do your research well. The salon you choose needs to have the proper types of hair extensions available and the stylist must be a pro at his work.

2. Right Type of Hair:

If you don’t know, there are primarily two types of hair extensions: synthetic and human hair. Weigh the pros and cons of each type and get details about which would work best for you. The advantage of human hair is that it will last longer, will look like your real hair and can be treated like one. So, you can use any heat styling tools (such as blow-dryer or flat irons) or go for swimming, which you cannot do with synthetic hair.

3. Matching Hair Color:

Your hair extension color should match or be as close as possible to your natural hair color. If you have colored hair, try to get extensions in the same shade. Most hair extension manufacturers offer a wide range of colors thus, making it easier for women to find the right shade for them. Also, many hair extensions have low-lights and highlights to add depth and tone without the use of other treatments. You can definitely try them to look different without other procedures.

4. Ensure Seamless Hair Extensions:

What’s the point of getting hair extensions if they look fake and made up? Consider getting seamless hair extensions which blend in with your own hair. Such seamless hair extensions are placed close to the head instead of placing near the hairline. It helps to maintain the illusion of real hair. Also, it must be applied in accordance with the natural direction of the hair to make it flow with the real strands.

5. Maintenance of Extensions:

Choose high-quality hair extensions which don’t require additional maintenance. To maintain healthy looking hair, brush it regularly with a wide toothed comb, wear it up at night, and use high-quality professional products to clean and condition it. A word of caution to prevent breakage of hair extensions: avoid sleeping while the hair is still wet.
