Flat iron/Curl Hair Extensions Safely

Moisture loss is the main cause of hair extensions to lose luster, resulting in dry frizzy hair. The best way to maintain the quality of hair extensions while still using styling tools is to use as little heat as possible.
If you do decide to use a flat iron or curling iron, its ideal to follow these guidelines to prevent as much damage as possible to your extensions.
1. Always use a heat protector spray and only flat iron freshly shampooed dry hair. If your hair is dirty, the oils will adhere to the iron causing it to burn as it straightens.
2. Limit the frequency of use to reduce the amount of damage it can cause.
3. Make sure your hair is completely dry by letting it air dry, or blow dry sections before ironing.
4. Keep the temperature on low to medium heat and work with small sections. This allows you to achieve straight hair with less heat.
5. Be sure to use proper styling tools. Flat irons with tourmaline, ceramic and titanium metals tends to heat more evenly and are less likely to cause damage to processed hair.

6. Extensions do not receive nourishment from your scalp, so it is important to keep them moisturized. When washing and conditioning human hair extensions, avoid harsh products. Instead, use those with extra moisturising agents. It is also advisable to deep condition hair extensions at least once, to soften and moisturise.

All About Seamless Hair Extensions

What are Seamless Hair Extensions? 

Seamless hair extensions also known as Skin Wefts and Invisible Wefts are hair extensions attached to a base made of a thin poly base, the hair is injected into the base for a very natural look. This allows for it to look like it is growing out of your scalp.

The hair is not sewn, braided, or cliped in. The seamless weft is attached laying the seamless skin weft flat on your hair and securing it with adhesive. This allows for a natural looking, flat hair extension application that looks like it is growing out of your scalp.

What adhesives can I use?

Seamless hair extensions can be applied several ways.
