Posted by Kapellohairuk on December 18th, 2013

There is a lot of information available on the market today when it comes to hair extensions. Whether you work in the industry, are looking for hair extensions for yourself, or you just want to learn more information about the different types of hair extensions available, we have created a brief list of things you will want to know about hair extensions and some questions you may want to ask your hair stylist before deciding on a certain type of hair extension.

Contact a professional hair salon or hair stylist that has experience working with hair extensions. You want to make sure that person you are talking with is qualified, has experience and is insured in the industry. Work with someone that can provide you with a list of clients that they have worked with in the past as well as photos of the work they have done. When setting up your initial consultation you want to make sure there is no obligation to purchase anything from the salon or the stylist.

Colour matching is very important when selecting the perfect hair extension for you. If your professional stylist doesn’t offer a colour wheel, make sure you ask them for one. Not only can hair extensions provide you with volume, they can also provide lowlights or highlights for your hair as well. Find out what’s included when they fit the hair extensions in your hair. Sometimes there are extra charges involved that many people feel as though it should have been included in the process.

When having hair extensions fitted, you must plan for your entire day to be free. For some people it can take as long as 8-10 hours to get the line of hair extensions fitted. The last thing you want is your stylist to be rushing the process. This is a major investment in both time and money so you want the process to be as stress-free as possible for everyone involved.

Aftercare is extremely important when dealing with hair extensions. Ask your stylist to discuss in detail everything you need to do to ensure that your new hair extensions will look as amazing six weeks down the road as the day they were fitted.
