Are Hair Extensions Right For You?

When it comes to clip in hair extensions, we know that all of the celebrities are doing it, but is it right for you?

The truth is that more people than you know may be wearing hair extensions for the simple benefit of: Fullness, Thickness, Instant Volume, Impressive Length, Different Texture, Intricate Styling, and Natural Everyday Wear. So, as you can see, you definitely don't have to be a celebrity to rock this type of A-list style on a daily basis!

Medium Brown hair extensions are becoming more affordable and manageable than ever before, and many women that you know may be wearing them daily without you even realising it. They are a beautiful addition to your existing tresses, but the important thing to keep in mind is that you want them to look as natural and flawless as possible so that people will hardly be able to tell the difference in your daily styling.

Before you apply your hair extensions, let's talk about the products.

It is important to use a shampoo and conditioner that are suited to your type of hair. It is not necessary to use a special type of shampoo and conditioner for hair extensions. Your extensions will work beautifully with professional salon quality shampoo and conditioner products that are suited for your type of hair and any scalp hair concerns you may have. If you are already using a shampoo and conditioner that deposit to enrich your natural hair, you can continue to do so to achieve the best results for your hair while wearing hair extensions.

From the first day wearing your extensions, you MUST use a quality silicone spray serum regularly to maintain their silky and soft texture. Silicone Serum: Generally, a serum is made of silicone in the spray or liquid form. Spray-in serums offer a much more even application than a liquid serum so that the final style looks more natural overall. If the extensions have been damaged, even a silicone serum will have difficulty restoring their soft and sleek feel if the serum has not been used regularly.

Thermal Straightening Protectant Spray: This is an MUST for straightening and curling irons, which will protect the extensions from severe damage and breakage. A spray-in straightening protectant will also offer a much more even application of the product for daily styling.

Styling Brushes: A 'loop' wig or hair extension brush and a good bristle round brush are ideal styling tools, and they are available at most beauty stores. Perfect for clip-ins and Loop Micro Links and your natural hair.

If you are swimming it is great to wet the hair with tap water, spray the silicone spray serum and then to plait your hair. This helps to decrease the amount of salt water or chlorine effect on your hair. After swimming, remember to promptly shampoo, condition, and reapply silicone spray serum and allow your hair to dry.

The bottom line is that your stylist can recommend the right products for your hair type, but a professional silicone spray serum is a MUST and will work best for hair extensions without creating a greasy or sticky build-up.
