Hair Extensions 101

Wearing hair extensions is a great way to add volume and length to your hair! My hair is extremely short and refuses to grow. I absolutely love the length and volume my hair extensions add! They're a great, semi-permanent, and easy way to add beauty to your every day look! Caring for them can seem like a huge hassle, but with tips, it's a breeze!

Storage

Storing your hair extensions properly is extremely important! This will keep them from tangling and becoming knotty or ratty. Hair extension storage units can be quite pricing, but you can easily create your own from items you probably already have in your house! Just tie some string (ribbon also works) around a typical clothing hanger. The more wefts you have, the more rows of string you will need. Clip the wefts onto the string and hang them in a cool, dry area! 

Styling

Hair extensions can be styled just as you style your hair. However, the ends can be damaged just as your real ends become damaged as well. Always use a heat protectant before styling. I recommend Temme's Keratin Smooth Heat Protectant Spray. It's also great to use on your real hair as well!

Treatments


Extensions need constant conditioning to keep them from becoming tangled and looking unhealthy. Using Nourishing Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum on the ends of your hair and your extensions daily will keep your ends from breaking off and keep your hair healthy and soft. Neutrogena's Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask adds moisture back to hair and extensions and keeps them looking natural and healthy.
