Tips for Choosing a Hair Extension Specialist

Posted by Kapellohairuk on September 6th, 2013

If you have decided to splurge on hair extensions, you will want to make sure you’re getting the expertise of a specialist. After all, extensions can be pricey, and you want them done right the first time around. Here are some top tips for finding a hair extension specialist who can give you great results.

Your hair extension specialist should know how to match the extensions to your unique hair. Everyone has different needs when it comes to extensions. After all, hair extensions involve more than just putting the extensions in place. They need to be blended with your natural hair and matched for colour, trimmed based on the cut of your hair and thickness, and other issues that can take a practised eye. The uniqueness of your hair also determines how much hair extension you will need to purchase, and a specialist can help you figure this out so you don’t waste money. So make sure to quiz your stylist about the kinds of extensions and the types of hair they’ve worked with before you settle on a stylist.

Ask your hair extension specialist about styling and caring for your new hair extensions. A specialist should know how to advise you on conditioning your extensions, how to avoid certain problems such as overexposure to water and how to properly care for your extensions when you go to sleep at night. They should be able to advise you on the best leave-in conditioner and how to apply it. Getting the hair extensions put in is really only the first step. The key to keeping them looking fabulous is all about the care and upkeep, and this is just as important for your stylist to tell you! Your stylist can also advise you on the proper way to style your hair, such as proper drying and curling techniques. Be sure to ask lots of questions and have a few styles in mind when you come to your appointment!

Your hair extension specialist should use only Remy hair extensions. Made with 100% real human hair, these extensions last longer and hold up far better than hair without the cuticle intact. Yes, this costs more money. But the results are undeniable. If your specialist tries to get you to purchase cheap hair extensions, be wary. Cheap hair extensions get easily tangled and matted, actually costing you far more in the end as you will be replacing extensions more often.

If you love the idea of hair extensions but you’re just not sure initially, you may want to go with a choice like clip in hair extensions. They give you the beauty you want without a real commitment. You can change your hair style as often as you like, and your clip ins are reusable, so they’ll look great (with the right care) throughout the next several months. Your stylist can advise you of the best choices to meet your needs, but be sure you only purchase Remy hair extensions.

With these tips, your experience will be a great success, and your hair will look great day after day!
