Things You Don"t Do To Hair Extensions
You may be surprised the things you need to be mindful of when getting hair extensions.
How many people have suggested that men get hair extensions, so they can have them made into dreadlocks? While men can have their natural hair permed, as part of the salon process towards creating their instant dreadlocks.
It is not recommended that any hair extensions be permed due to the obvious stress caused by perming processes.
The option is for men to grow their natural hair, until it is long enough to be permed to create their surfing look dreadlocks or use a wax product.
The wax is the preferred option generally these days, and has a more gentle effect on the hair.
With some top quality human hair extensions, the colouring process involved a colouring process that lasts a lot longer than traditional "salon" colouring.
This means that your color will keep its intensity longer, rather than quickly fading.
In top quality hair extensions the technique used for this colouring process may include techniques used in the wool industry.
Surprisingly both wool and human hair react nearly identically to colouring processes.
With the additional benefits that it is gentler on the hair and the hair has a lovely shine and soft feel.
Fortunately today perming is not a common process for the majority of salon clients.
Instead stylists today are using both innovative styling products and heat curling to add shape, movement, and curl to hair, as well as the flexibility to also go for the sleek and straight look.
So depending on your mood, your hair can be styled to match.
This banishes springy tight curls, unless that is the look you want that day, and have been heat styled to create it.
So you will have a more natural look.
Also relating to the colouring process an experienced salon colourist will be able to suggest how to get the colour effect you are looking for.
This often includes colouring your natural head hair at least 48 hours before your extensions are applied.
Your salon professional will appreciate planning your new look with you, including looking at colours of extensions.
If you already have your extensions make sure you bring them to the salon when planning for colouring, including if they are clip-ins.
Other things not to do to hair extensions is to roughly comb them, hence pulling of the extensions.
Rather a Loop hair extension brush, commonly called a Wig brush, should be used, and the hair supported while brushing, to minimise any pulling.
Always have dry hair before plaiting them at night for sleeping.
This helps to minimise brushing you will need to do.
Do not neglect applying silicone spray serum and heat protectants to maximise your hair and extension hair condition.
This also includes that you should remember to care for your hair before and after swimming and sport.
Do not leave your extensions at risk or full of chemicals such as salt water or chlorine from the pool.
So when planning your new look, you now know what questions to ask before getting your hair extensions, and other things not to do to them, and how to get the best out of your new look.
Have fun!
