Hair Extensions

Have you noticed the amount of celebrities who have all of a sudden grown long, flowing locks? The key to their fabulous hair is the clever use of hair extensions, carefully blended to match exactly with their own hair. Hair extensions offer instant volume haut hair for limp tresses hair or emergency relief from a disastrous haircut. You can expect Human Hair extensions to last up to 1/2 years when kept well and alternate with other extensions.

 
Caring for hair extensions is a bit different from caring for natural hair. When caring for your hair extensions you should:

• Use a soft bristle brush and brush your hair from the bottom and gently work your way up.
• Gently tie your hair up while sleeping.
• Do not color your own hair extentions at home.
• To prevent tangling, run your fingers through the braid extensions.
• Don't spray your extensions with conditioners or any silicone based products as they can cause the braids to slip.

 
How long can extensions be?
You can have any length you want up to about 26"-30". Anything longer than this puts extra weight on your scalp which may lead to uneven pressure and damage to your own hair. The best looking hair extensions for average height women are usually around 22" inch or less.

How much are they?
It is relative, depending where you go to purchase them. You can shop around and you will find lots of different prices for different quality extensions. To get the best possible product you can expect to pay a premium price. How ever your hair will look great, it last and you will feel terrific!

Can I wear my hair up? 
Of course, the hair extensions should not be applied any lower than the base of your scalp (approximately at the level of the middle of your ears) and so your hair under this point covers the extensions while you wear it in pigtails, ponytails, french braids etc.

Does it hurt?
No! If it hurts get out of there! The extensions artist should braid the tracks firmly but comfortably. The tension should be even all over your head with no points pulling or hurting. Do not put up with someone telling you it has to be really tight in order to be secure. Pulling your hair out is not the idea. You will know you have something on your head for the first day or two but after that you won't even feel that they are there.
