Hairstyles suit individuals
differently. One style may look nice on one person, but awkward on another. The
same principle applies to hair extensions. From the type (whether you go for Brazilian hair extensions or other kinds) to the texture (curly, wavy, or straight)—what you choose will
ultimately dictate how the extensions will define your look.
Hair extensions have gone far since
their early days. Today, they are many hair extension options for people who
want to add length and volume to their hair. If you choose to have extensions put
in, you have to be careful with your selection to ensure you get a fantastic
result.
Many stylists recommend human
hair as opposed to synthetic ones or those from animal hair. Human hair are
just generally better in quality, last longer, and match existing hair better. Hair Extension Geek points out that the
main benefit of pure human hair extensions is that they have the qualities of
real hair. They will be indistinguishable from your own hair and you can take
care of them just like you would your own locks.
Keep in mind, though, that these
qualities can only be gained if you select correctly matching extensions.
Remember as well that human hair extensions also differ in quality so only
purchase from first-rate suppliers such as Her Hair Company.
Mind the Color
Glamour Magazine recommends purchasing extensions that have similar
color to your hair. By doing so, you will have extensions that blend together
perfectly when attached to your existing hair. Then again, this won’t be a
problem if you’re planning to dye your hair with another color as human hair
can be dyed just like your own hair. It must be noted that this is another
advantage of human hair extensions. Synthetic and animal hair just aren’t great
suited for hair color treatments.
Texture is Important Too
There are two parts to texture:
the natural texture of your hair and your desired look. As with type and color,
it’s best to get hair extensions that are the same as your own hair’s texture.
For example, if you have wavy hair, you’d want to get a wavy hair extension variant. Of course,
your desired hairstyle also plays into this. If you want to have wavy hair,
then you should also go for wavy extensions. If your natural hair is not wavy,
you can ask your stylist on what can be done so the extensions will be right
for the hairstyle or look that you want.
