Are Hair Extensions Right For You?
Getting hair extensions is a great option for someone who is looking to change up their hairstyle and try something new. Extensions allow you to add length or volume to your hair, which can allow you to have a fresh new look in a short amount of time and with little commitment. Hair extensions can also be customized, and your stylist can color-match your hair to the extensions for a seamless look. Before deciding to get hair extensions, you need to consider a few factors to make sure that they are the right choice for you. Your hair health, hair type, lifestyle, and budget are all contributing factors in deciding which type of hair extension is right for you.
What Are The Different Types Of Hair Extensions?
Over the past few years, extensions have become very popular in the beauty industry. There are many different types that are available, and each type has pros and cons. Stile Salon & Spa offers three different types of hair extensions that are all about to be customized and matched to the color of your hair. The price and installation time will vary depending on the kind of extension you are getting. We offer hand-tied weft (sew-in), keratin tips, and tape-in extensions. Tape-in extensions are thin wefts that have adhesive tape at the top. It is a lightweight and easy-to-install option that takes the least amount of time to install. Keratin Tip extensions use a keratin bond that fuses individual strands of hair to your hair. This is the longest-lasting and most seamless option that we offer. Sew-in weft extensions are installed by hand-sewing a weft to a section of your hair. A stylist will first add small beads to a few sections of your hair, which will allow strips of extensions to be sewn in near your root. In your consultation, one of our stylists will work with you to understand what your hair goals are to help you decide which extension is right for you.
Why It Is Important To Invest In The Quality Of Your Hair Extensions
Not all hair extensions are created equally. At Stile Salon & Spa, we use high-quality premium extensions that will give you a natural appearance. High-quality extensions will blend seamlessly with your natural hair and will last much longer than the cheaper options that are available in the market. Premium extensions will also be easier to care for, which will give you a better experience when you choose to invest in hair extensions.
How To Care For Your Hair After Installation
Proper hair care and maintenance are essential to maintain the look and health of your hair extensions. Keeping up with your routine after installation will not only keep your hair looking fresh and last longer, but it will also help protect your natural hair and your extensions from any damage. One of the most important things you can do to care for your extensions is to use a brush with soft bristles when detangling your hair. Make sure that you are brushing from the bottom up to reduce the amount of pulling on your extensions and your natural hair. It is also important to wash your hair two to three times a week. Keeping your hair clean and moisturized will help make your extensions look blended and last longer.
How Long Will Your Hair Extensions Last
Different types of hair extensions will have different lifespans. Tape-in extensions will last anywhere between 6-8 weeks with the proper care, while sew-in wefts can last between 6-10 weeks with proper care. Keratin tip extensions are the longest-lasting option that we offer. Keratin Tips can last anywhere from 3 to 6 months with the right care and protection. Your stylist will be able to guide you and give tips on how to properly care for the extensions that you are getting installed, so you can get the most out of your investment. Once your extensions have reached their grow-out point, you will come in for another appointment, and your stylist can help move the extensions back to your roots and freshen up your style.
How To Style Your Hair Extensions
Hair extensions give you endless styling possibilities. Whether you want a look that is sleek and polished or voluminous and wavy, prepping your hair for any style will help protect your hair and keep it looking natural. You can use any heat tool on your extensions just like you would your natural hair. It is important to always use a heat protectant before applying any heat or using any tools, and to be gentle. Protecting your hair from heat damage will help keep your extensions and your natural hair healthy and last longer. It is also important to avoid using excessive heat styling on your hair to prevent any heat damage. You are also able to still use any claw clip or hair accessories that you would use on your natural hair. Hair extensions are very versatile and can be styled in so many ways.
