How To Use Hair Extensions?

1. Add Volume and Length

The beauty of hair extensions is that you can take them out anytime, which is perfect for those who are scared of commitment.

Tips For Scoring Quality Virgin Hair Extensions:

• Use real hair extensions. They look more natural—our favorite brand is Fashion Source.

• When picking a color for extensions, it might seem as though you can’t find a perfect match. But remember: The ends of your own hair do not match your own roots. Go ahead, try it! Hold up your ends to your roots. The extensions don’t have to match perfectly; they will blend. Tip: We suggest going a touch darker than your natural hair since they will be on the bottom layers where hair is naturally darker.

• Ask to see all the extension packs of the same color because each one will look slightly different since they are real hair.

• If you are having major color choice anxiety, buy the one closest to your natural hair color. You can always take them with you to your next salon trip to have them professionally colored.

• Always take a friend with you when shopping for extensions. A second, trusted opinion can help you decide on a color and length that are right.
