Fill Out Your Style with Clip-in Hair Extensions
Just as your natural hair varies in texture and quality from your friends’, so do clip-in hair extensions. The quality of the hair used in the extensions you buy is a sure way to tell how they will look in your hair. This will also determine how long you may expect your hair extensions to last.
Colouring
More often than not, hair extensions are made from hair that was originally darker in colour. If you seek a lighter colour, the hair may be stripped of colour, and then re-tinted to the colour you are seeking. Platinum blond extensions that started out as naturally darker hair have gone through the stripping processes and chemical colouring, to get it to that shade. A disadvantage with this type of extension is that it is difficult to colour the hair once again, since it has already been coloured so drastically. Any colour you add to extensions like this may not stay. So it is important to be aware of this before you purchase extensions.
Quality
Small curtains of hair, or wefts, may be hand-made or machine-made. They are held together at the top, where you’ll find the clip, and allowed to flow freely at the bottom. Clip-in human hair extensions should be of the finest quality that you can afford. This will ensure that your extensions will look the best and last the longest. Virgin hair or raw hair may be harder to find, but they are usually worth the extra expense, if you can locate them.
The crown of your own hair will cover the clips of the extensions, which allows them to blend in easily with your natural hair. The number of extensions you’ll need depends on how thin or long your own hair is, and how much thicker and longer you want it to be.
Maintenance
Washing and conditioning human hair extensions is done in the same manner as you wash your own hair. This will keep them clean and natural-looking. Above all, it is important that you moisturize your hair extensions because they don’t have a source of natural oils any longer. If you look after your hair extensions, and take care of them properly, they will give you months of longer and fuller hair.
