Posted by Kapellohairuk on September 7th, 2013

There is much more to think about when it comes to getting hair extensions than what colour, kind or length. You also need to consider your lifestyle, ease of maintenance and a few other factors as well. Check out the following questions to help you make your decision.

Will this work with my lifestyle? Today’s hair extensions work with almost any lifestyle. While you may need to take special care if you swim in chlorinated water regularly or spend days on end in the sun, the reality is that hair extensions can work for almost anyone. If you just want to experiment with extensions, maybe getting clip in hair extensions would be the way to go before committing to the other choices on the market. If you’re concerned that something about your life might not work with hair extensions, your best bet is to talk with your stylist. He or she can talk about how to get the right extensions to tackle your toughest days.

Do I have time to properly care for my extensions? Hair extensions, like lots of hairstyles today, mean a bit more involved care. For example, instead of scrubbing or massaging the shampoo into your hair, you will need to gently rub it into your extensions. You’ll also need to purchase products specifically made for your hair extensions. Remember, extensions are “thirstier” than natural hair, so it is important to care for them properly. Styling can also take more time, depending on the type of extension you’ve chosen. Comb through your extensions with a wide-toothed comb and never pull at tangles. At night, you will need to braid your extensions in one big braid and then cover your hair while you sleep so the pillow doesn’t damage them. Taking care of your extensions is critical to preserving them and having them look their best.

What type of hair extensions will work best for me? This depends on several factors. For one thing, you’ll need to consider ease of use and how long you would like them to be in. There are many kinds of hair extensions. Clip in hair extensions come in wefts of hair that you can figure out how to apply if you can work a barrette or hair clip. These would be a good choice if you’re not quite ready for a commitment to extensions or you want them for a special event. They’re also good if you’re looking for real flexibility with your hairstyle. You can also choose pre taped extensions, as they’re easily applied within a half hour at the salon, and they offer great quality for eight or nine months. Micro ring extensions are a bit more complicated, but they’re easily the best choice on the market. They last for months, and they look just like your natural hair.

If you’ve been thinking about hair extensions, there’s never been a better time to chat with your stylist. Get the style you want, and let your hair make the A-list!
