Have you considered using hair extensions? Most women feel the need to increase the volume or length of their hair at one time or another.

The good news is that this is possible with hair extensions, meaning that every woman can get that volume or length they so desire.

Hair extensions need to be used the right way so as to ensure they look natural. Here are some tricks and tips  that will ensure that you never get it wrong when it comes to hair extensions.

Tricks and Tips for Hair Extensions

1. Always put your hair extensions about two inches from the forehead if you are combing your hair backwards. For an up-do, ensure that the same distance from the back of the head is observed. The clip-in hair extensions should be clipped upside down against the roots to create a more natural and manageable look. Remember to tease the hair at the root with a tease brush to give the clip-in hair extensions a firm grip and prevent it from sliding off.
2. Cut the hair extensions’ ends in layers to create a more natural look. If you cannot do this at home, get a qualified stylist to trim those straight edges in to natural-looking layers.
3. Comb your hair together with the hair extensions. This ensures that your natural hair blends well with the hair extensions to create a seamless look. The same applies if you want to put some curls. You should curl the hair extensions together with your hair.
4. Moisturise your natural hair together with the hair extensions. This will leave both your hair and the extensions glossy without the hair extensions standing out.
5. Get quality hair extensions. A cheap hair extensions will look cheap which is exactly the opposite of what you want to achieve.
6. Get hair extensions in a colour that is as close to your natural hair as possible.
7. Avoid hair extensions that come in one colour. A careful look at your natural hair will reveal different colours. Choose hair extensions that come close to these colours as possible.
8. Use the right products and hair accessories to match your hair extensions. A stylist will often offer the best guidance when it comes to selecting products that are suitable for different hair extensions.
9. Get rid of your hair extensions whenever they become old. You can be sure that adding volumes of old shaggy extensions is not the way to go if you want to acquire that glamorous look of a perfect, healthy, and long mane.
