- How it works
Hair extensions are a way to enhance natural hair by adding length, volume, or thickness. They come in various types and are attached using methods like clips, tape, or bonding. A stylist professionally applies and blends them with your natural hair, allowing for versatile styling options. Extensions can be temporary or semi-permanent, and proper care is crucial for maintaining the health and longevity of both your natural hair and the extensions. - Why we love it
We love hair extensions because they offer instant transformations and endless styling possibilities. They boost confidence by allowing us to achieve our desired hair length, volume, or style, enhancing our overall appearance. With extensions, we can experiment with different looks without permanent commitments, making them a versatile and empowering accessory for our hair.

TREATABLE CONCERNS
Consultation: Begin with a consultation with a qualified hairstylist or extension specialist. Discuss your hair goals, preferences, and any concerns you may have. The stylist will assess your hair type and condition to determine the best extension method and type for you.
Hair Health: Ensure your natural hair is in good condition before getting extensions. Address any issues like split ends, excessive dryness, or damage through proper care and treatments as recommended by your stylist.
Color Match: Select extensions that closely match your natural hair color or the color you desire. This ensures a seamless blend between the extensions and your own hair.
Trimming: Consider getting a trim or haircut before the extension application to ensure that your natural hair is in optimal condition and that any split ends are removed.
Avoid Washing Immediately: Wait at least 48 hours after the extension application before washing your hair. This allows the bonds to set properly.
Use Sulfate-Free Shampoo and Conditioner: Sulfate-free hair products are gentle and won’t break down the adhesive bonds, ensuring the extensions stay in place.
Gentle Washing: When washing your hair, be gentle. Apply shampoo to the roots and conditioner to the ends, avoiding the bonded areas. Use a downward motion to prevent tangling.
Brush Carefully: Use a soft-bristle brush or an extension-specific brush to detangle your hair. Start at the tips and work your way up, avoiding pulling on the bonds.
Avoid Heat Near Bonds: Excessive heat near the bonded areas can weaken the adhesive. Use heat styling tools cautiously and keep them away from the roots.
Use Heat Protectants: When using heat styling tools, apply a heat protectant to shield both your natural hair and the extensions from damage.
