Hair extensions are a fantastic way to change up your look or try a fun new style. While hair extensions look effortless, there are a lot of things that can go wrong. A lot of money, time, and energy goes into extensions. Finding the right hair, how you want to install it, and color matching the hair to your natural are all large tasks that take skill and diligence. Hair extensions look best when a licensed hair professional installs them. Hair professionals can often get a much higher quality of hair for their clients as well. Many extension companies sell exclusively to licensed hair professionals. Below you will find advice on how to make sure your extensions look top-notch at all times.
What Install Method Works Best For Your Lifestyle
The first determining factor with extensions will be determining what extension method is best for you. There are a handful of extension methods. Clip-in hair extensions are temporary and come out at any time. Clip-in hair extensions can not be left in for an extended amount of time and are best for someone who wants to be able to add some length or volume for an event or wedding. Tape-in hair extensions last anywhere from 4-8 weeks, depending on your hair growth. Tape-in extensions are not extremely harsh on the hair if installed correctly. Sew in extensions will last 6-10 weeks. The hairdresser will install this extension into your hair by using yarn and beads. Hand-tied extensions are trendy right now and cause little to no damage if installed correctly. Fusion hair extensions are extensions the stylist installs by fusing your hair strands with keratin. These extensions take longer to install but can look beautiful when done correctly. There are many more install methods. Find what is best for you and best for your lifestyle.
Density Matters
The density of your hair is essential when looking at extensions; the more hair you have on your head, the more thickness you will need to buy. The reason for this comes down to the hair looking natural and blended. Hair extensions usually come in packs; the best way to determine how many packages you will need is to ask your hair professional to help look at your hair thickness and let you know how much hair they think you need.
Hair Quality
Hair quality in extensions can vary. Hair Extensions get crafted with different types of hair and even synthetic hair. Synthetic extensions will be less expensive, but you will not be able to style them with heat. Hair quality is vital for a few reasons; the better the hair quality, the longer the hair will last. Hair quality is also crucial because the high quality it is, the more natural it will look. High hair quality is more likely to be soft and shiny as well.
Hair Texture
If you are someone who wears your hair naturally, the texture of your extensions will need to match your natural hair texture. If you have super curly hair, having straight or wavy extensions will not look natural and will be hair to match your natural hair texture. If you do have super textured hair, find a company that offers your hair texture in extensions.
Color Match
Color matching is a HUGE part of hair extensions looking their best. There are so many different hair shades, especially if you have a custom color on your hair. Your hairstylist will often be able to match your hair to the desired color, but something to consider is that you can NOT lighten extensions so if you have blonde hair, make sure to be very careful when picking your extension colors. If you have darker hair, Stylists can darken most extensions to match hair color well. Ask your hair professional for assistance in color matching to ensure a perfect match.
Blend Blend Blend
The last thing you want to do after you buy extensions is to cut them. Cutting your extensions to blend into your hair is a MUST. Hair extensions will not look natural unless the stylist blends the extensions into your current hair length. A licensed hair dresser will be able to use their professional shears to blend your extensions seamlessly and take the least amount of hair possible.
Caring For The Hair
Once the stylist installs the extensions, it’s essential to care for the hair properly. Using the right high-quality products formulated just for hair extensions will ensure you are taking the best care of the hair. Doing regular hair masks and making sure not to put any conditioner near the roots of your hair will help the hair stay nourished and strong.
Life Of The Hair
Hair extensions have a “life.” After a few installs, you will need to buy new hair and discard the old hair. Reinstalling hair over and over will cause the hair extensions to look matted and frizzy. Knowing when to get new hair is crucial to keeping your hair looking its best. Follow your hair stylist’s guidance on when to buy new hair to prevent matted hair and dull extensions.
Hair extensions require a lot of upkeep and investments. Make sure you are up for the demand when you decide to get hair extensions. Hair extensions are a beautiful way to do something new to your hair or enhance the color without using chemicals. The biggest thing is finding a well-trusted hair professional, using them, and trusting in them to install and upkeep your extensions.

to be successful when dating your girlfriend
To have a perfect date, first you need to determine a date time that suits the two of you. Therefore, you need to ask her about a suitable date and time, so you can set a time to meet, bringing a feeling of comfort to both parties. The first date always leaves a special feeling in the hearts of the people involved. Therefore, you should plan in detail to create an unforgettable impression in the beauty's heart. You don't necessarily have to spend a lot of money to hire a private band of musicians, or take her to luxurious and expensive places, just a romantic meal together at the park or something. It's so sweet that she's never done it before... Surely, she will always remember this impressive date. If you and she had a successful first date, continue planning the next date. Because this is necessary to let her understand that you are very interested in her. However, when showing interest, you should not show too much emotion because it can make her feel suffocated. Even if you and she have had interesting dates, that doesn't mean you should stop keeping in touch with her. This will make her think that you no longer care about her.Therefore, you need to continue to keep in touch to let her understand that you are still there and still care about her every day. Girls often don't like just listening to you talk about yourself without mentioning anything related to them. Because that proves that you are selfish and don't care about their thoughts. Therefore, you need to create a balance between questions and answers between the two of you throughout the conversation.You can ask questions about her life, hobbies, work... and share information with each other. During your daily conversations, you should keep in mind the likes and dislikes she has shared with you. If she mentions that she doesn't like seafood dishes, it's best not to date her at restaurants that specialize in seafood. Through this, she will know that you always listen and understand her.Chivalry and "gallantry" in behavior are always appreciated by girls in a man. Therefore, you should be polite, caring and do the best for the woman you want to create a long-term relationship with. Honesty and kindness are always good qualities that girls want in a boyfriend. Therefore, please respect, cherish and always help her when she needs you. There's nothing worse than when a girl thinks things are going well between them and you, but then you "disappear" without saying goodbye. This is the worst thing and unintentionally lowers your self-worth. Therefore, you should behave like a grown man.If you no longer have feelings for her then politely and gently tell her, give her that respect, because she deserves it Sometimes girls can feel uncertain about your feelings for them. Therefore, they would love to hear you remind and confirm your feelings for her once again.You don't have to repeat it 24/7 because it can make her feel bored and suffocated. But, if she doesn't listen to your reassurances, she may feel insecure about your feelings. Another bad thing that girls often encounter is not being able to predict a man's behavior. Therefore, you should not say one thing and do another, but always be consistent between your words and actions, that will make girls always respect you.
