How to Apply Hair Extensions for First Timers
July 06, 2015
Hair
extensions are a great way to improve your appearance. They can be
used when you can’t grow your hair to become as long as you want it
to be, or they can be used when you simply don’t want your hair to
grow because it requires much more attention. Many women who want
long hair use hair extensions because they don’t requires as much
care as normal long hair, and on top of that they are very durable
and resistant. Hair extensions can be worn for long periods of time
without having to change them. If you have not worn some hair
extension before and want to give it a try but don’t know how to
apply it, here you can read some tips to help you out.
Tips and tricks on Hair Extensions
The
first thing to make sure before applying is that you choose the most
suitable hair extension for you. Consider what colour and length you
want, but most importantly consider whether you want it to be
synthetic or human. Synthetichair
extensions are made from a keratin and plastic mix and they do a good
job of mimicking the appearance of normal human hair, but often lack
some of the texture that normal hair has. On the other hand, human
hair extensions come in many grades and they are simply great, but
they are much more expensive than synthetic ones. For most first
timers it is recommendable to first try synthetic and after they have
had some experience, consider going to human ones.
When
applying hair extensions, there are two ways that you can approach it
– using clip-in or through fusion. If you choose clip-in hair
extensions here are a few tips to know:
First
you need to purchase some wefts of hair. A weft is a single row of
hair that can be clipped between your own layers of hair. It is
available in both synthetic and human forms, with the price tag being
the main difference. Make sure that you match your hair colour as
closely as possible and that you have found the perfect length that
you want.
Now what?
Once
you are done proceed by dividing your hair into sections. When you
are done, the next thing to do is tease it using a comb. You want
your hair to gain as much as ½ to a full inch in volume at the base
of the strands. When you are done, take one of the wefts that you
have purchased and clip it to your hair at its roots. You should be
able to easily dig into the teased hair and stick it. Make sure that
you space the extensions evenly. If you dislike something about the
hair extensions, keep in mind that you can freely cut or trim them to
make them more suitable to your desires. Repeat this process for each
of the wefts until your hair extensions have all been applied. Once
you are done, make sure that you brush your hair. If you can still
see some of the clips, rearrange them. Make sure that the clips
cannot be seen even when you put your hair in a ponytail.
When
applying fusion extenders, you first need to clarify your hair. Use a
shampoo as they can be found on the market easily. Dry your hair
completely and make a divider for your hair. Start sectioning your
hair, beginning at the base and then proceed to put strands of hair
into your cardstock divider. Attach a piece of the hair extension to
your divided hair by making sure that it is lined up properly with
the roots of your hair. Then use a flat iron to fuse the extension
with your hair. Roll the fused strands into your hair using your
hands and then remove the hair divider. The same process is then done
over again for each piece of hair extension that you have bought.
When you are done, make sure to style your hair the way you want it
to be.
There
you have two of the most commons ways for applying hair extensions,
namely with clip-in and fusion. If you are a first timer make sure
that you prepare well before beginning the procedure because if you
do something wrong, you might have to start all over again.
