Hello my beauties,
I’m back with more tips and tricks, and today's tips will be on wearing hair extensions. There are a lot of ways to wear hair extensions for example you can clip them in, glue them in, sew them in, tape them in, and micro-bead them in.
But…today I’m mainly going to talk about clip in extensions, as they are the go to, quick, do it yourself, and most popular in my opinion.
-
Sectioning your hair is probably the easiest tip. You’ll section the hair in 3 sections one on each side above the ear, and the big back part is the third section.
-
Start from back lower area of head but leave about 2 and a half inches from the neck.
This will allow extension to hold to a larger amount of hair other than baby hairs
-
Tease hair close the root for extensions to hold better and that way in case you comb through your hair with a comb your hair extensions will not slip out.
-
Do NOT forget to number your hair extensions that way the next time you put them in you don’t put them in the wrong place.
-
After putting in your hair extensions have your stylist blend them in by cutting them according to your haircut, and this is why the tip before this one is important.
-
To avoid extensions from also known as track from showing, install them half an inch away from the hairline.
-
You can always sew in extra clips for more security. The clips may be purchased at your local beauty supply for under $3 but don’t forget to get the weaving thread, which can also be purchased at your local beauty supply for about $7. You can also get the color of both clips and thread to match your hair.
-
Avoid adding so much hair product on your hair extensions as they may begin to shed quicker.
-
You accidently got blond hair extensions? No problem you can dye them dark! Or you can even get creative and dye them ombre.
-
Lastly, it is recommended to wash your hair extensions every third time they are used and to wash to one direction (top to bottom) with shampoo and conditioner.
