We are here to help. This guide is going to give you all the information you need about investing in extensions. Read on for more!

Clip-Ins

Clip-in extensions are going to be the most affordable option. You can take them in and out whenever you please.

If your hair is above shoulder length, it may be hard to blend the lays to make them look natural and you may want to invest in high-quality extensions. Even if you have long hair, it can be hard to blend them so you can’t tell where your hair ends and the extensions begin.

Sew-In Extensions

Sew-in extensions or salon extensions will have to be changed every six to eight weeks by a professional. This option doesn’t allow you to take them off whenever you want and it’s vital that you allow an expert to remove them. Otherwise, you’ll risk damaging your hair.

These extensions will look very natural and blend with your hair. They are expensive.

A buy now pay later wig is a great option if you don’t want to spend a big chunk of money upfront. Once your extensions are in place, you can curl, straighten, and blow dry them. It’s recommended that when you’re styling your hair, you put your heat tools on a low temperature.

Color and Length

One of the great advantages of hair extensions is that you can experiment with different colors and lengths. If you’ve always wanted to dye your hair a different color, but are unsure how it will look, you can invest in extensions instead.

The same is true for length. You can get extensions no matter what texture your hair is too.

Aftercare

When you’re styling your hair with extensions, it’s crucial that you take the right steps to ensure they are taken care of. You need to invest in a soft brush and brush your hair gently.

After your extensions are in, you’ll want to wait 24 hours before washing your hair. Before using any heat tools on your hair, be sure to use a heat-protectant product. This will ensure your extensions don’t get ruined.

Styling Hair Extensions

The great thing about hair extensions is you can take them out or change them whenever you want. You can give yourself a new look without cutting or dying your hair. Extensions can be a big investment, depending on which method you decide to go with, so take your time picking what you want.
