Often, long hair is what most people find feminine or beautiful. If you get the right hair extensions, you can have long hair in a matter of only a couple of hours! Call your hairdresser and ask if s/he does hair extensions. If not, let your hairdresser recommend where you can go. The cost of hair extensions varies on the type you get. Some extensions are real and some are synthetic, which is one of the deciding factors in price and look. And the kinds vary. They range from glue-in, to sew-in to clip-in. And the list goes on. Do your homework and find the ones best suited for you. Pre-plan everything, including the cost to put them in and the upkeep. Talk to your hairdresser and have him/her explain the details of what you need and how much it is going to cost. It can be very pricey to have this done.
Here are some guidelines:
Lawrence’s 5 Tips
1. Let your hairdresser know that you would like extensions. Discuss all aspects candidly with him/her.
2. Get a picture of what you want to look like so you can get the right extensions to match your envisioned look. Supply your hairdresser with many photos of this look so s/he can direct you to the right style for you. Texture and color are an important factor as well. Keep in mind that you are preparing to invest a lot of time and money in this process. It is not a one shot deal, and it requires daily upkeep.
3. When you go to get your extensions, make sure your hair is clean and dry. Your natural oils and manmade oils prevent most processes from adhering to your hair.
4. Once you have the extensions put in, your first cut and style should be left long to see whether you like the length. You can always cut the extensions shorter. Make sure to have them blended well with your natural hair.
5. Your beauty image must be maintained through this whole process. The process involves many hours so be sure you are willing to expend that kind of time. Get the right brushes, shampoos, conditioners, and styling aids to achieve the look you are going for. After washing or just brushing, brush the hair from the bottom, and work your way in towards your scalp. Since this is not your hair, it tangles easily. Style with the right products. It takes time to get used to your new hair.
Go to someone who has great experience and knowledge in this process. Do your homework and shop around. Hair loss can occur from hair extensions when they are not put in correctly. Extensions are great, but they are not for everyone. If you want an easier instant fix, get a full wig.
