You are most likely reading this article because you are thinking of buying clip
in hair extensions or that you have already gone ahead and purchased them, but now you want to know what to do with them. This article will provide some basic and quite useful tips to help you wear your new pieces with confidence and delight.
If you have not bought your extensions yet, start by conducting some research as to which brand to purchase. Just check out a site like Amazon and you will read hundreds of customer reviews on which brands shed and which do not.
When you are ready to buy, make sure you buy 100% human hair. Remy hair is best to buy when available because Remy means that the cuticles have not been stripped and rather they remain aligned in one direction which looks and flows like hair ought to. Remy hair is also best because it looks healthier, shiny and smoother in appearance. Remy can also be called "virgin" hair. Virgin hair means it is hair that has never been chemically treated.
When possible buy your hair extensions in the color closest to your natural hair color. When buying real human hair then you can easily dye your extensions to match your color perfectly. Some online stores offer 1 inch pieces that can be purchased as a color reference to match to your hair. If you are in a beauty supply store, then you can enlist the help of a sales clerk to help you color match.
Once you have the extensions, you may want to head to your salon and have a stylist cut the extensions so that they will layer properly in your hair, although this step is not necessary but it can give a more realistic look. While at the salon, your stylist can recommend products to wash and care for your extensions as well so it might not be a bad idea to pay your salon that visit.
