Beginner's Guide to Hair Extensions

So you're interested in hair extensions, but don't know where to start. Below are a few Do's and Dont's for newbies.

Do- Buy premium human hair extensions, if you want your hair extensions to last. It may be more expensive, but it is well worth the cost. Remy is the best of the best in regards to hair extensions. This grade of human hair will maintain its quality well under everyday styling. The reason for this has everything to do with cuticle alignment. Remy hair has all of its cuticles aligned in the same direction from root to end. This makes the hair less prone to tangling and matting and is much more durable.

Don't- Expect inexpensive hair extensions not to tangle, mat, or shed. Cheaper human hair extensions are simply placed on the weft with no regard to the cuticle placement.


Do- Choose hair extensions and application techniques based on how long you want to wear the hair extensions.

Don't- Purchase synthetic hair.

Do- Use salon quality products on your hair extensions. We recommend a sulfate free moisturizing shampoo, with PH no higher than 7, as well a moisturizing conditioner.

Don't- Use styling products contain alcohol, as it can cause the hair to dry.

Do- Use heat styling tools in moderation. Heat is your hair extensions’ biggest enemy. The more you use on it, the shorter the life span of your hair. We cannot guarantee that the hair will remain silky if you use the blow dry, flat iron, or curling iron frequently.

Don't- Sleep with your hair wet, as it will create matting and tangling.

Do- Use a super looper brush. It works great at detangling hair extensions, hairpieces, and wigs.

Don't- Apply conditioner directly to the bonded area.

Do- Use a deep conditioning treatment every two weeks, more or less, depending on what styling methods you apply to your hair.
