Have you ever wanted long, beautiful hair as soon as possible? If so, you may have also considered hair extensions. Getting hair extensions can seem like an expensive and daunting process. You may find that it isn’t as scary as you thought once you learn more about hair extensions and talk to a trusted hairstylist.
Here are some of the most common questions about hair extensions:
- Do extensions damage your natural hair? In a word, no. If you see a skilled hairstylist and take care of your extensions, they will not damage your natural hair. Just keep in mind that you will have to change up your hair care routine. You will also have to check them thoroughly every five to seven weeks to make sure the extensions are not damaging your hair in any way or getting tangled. Your hair stylist should give you all the instructions on how to take care of your new extensions as well as new products to use on them.
- Why do extensions get so dry? You will need to use more moisturizing products on your extensions because hair extensions do not produce natural oils. This means they can become drier than your natural hair. They are very dependent on moisture and oil.
- How do I make sure the extensions look natural with my hair color? Your hair stylist can help you choose the right color so they will blend in and look natural. You can try different colors and styles until you find one that you like the best. Check out the extensions in different lights too to ensure you love the color you chose. For example, look at them in your hair in natural light, artificial light, and so on.
- Should I get temporary or permanent extensions? Keep in mind what your lifestyle is like and what look you are going for. Do you just want extensions for certain occasions or do you want them all the time? What type of hair do you have? Your hair stylist will be able to help you choose what type of hair extensions you want based on your lifestyle and what look you want.
- How long do they last? Depending on the type of extensions you chose and how well you take care of them, they could last for 6-8 weeks or up to three months.
- Can I get extensions that I can do myself? There are clip-on versions of hair extensions that are easy to do by yourself or with the help of a friend. These may not look as natural. If you want permanent extensions, you will need the help of a trained hairstylist.
- How long does my natural hair have to be to get extensions? Hairstylists generally recommend at least 10 centimeters of natural hair so that they can attach the extensions properly.
- How much will they cost? Depending on the amount, the type, and the quality, the price will vary. Ask about all of the pricing up front so you aren’t hit with a super high bill when you leave the salon.
