Hair Extensions are heaven-sent remedies for women who want long hair in an instant. Before getting extensions, know the different types available and how to properly care for them. Synthetic and human hair extensions have different treatment methods that can be harmful if applied to the other, so know the right hair extension care before you decide on getting extensions.
Here are just a few tips on hair extension care that will help to keep your extensions and your hair in a better condition:
1. Washing your hair will keep it tangle-free and clean from dirt and sweat build up. Hair tangles when dirt and sweat build up, so wash your hair after strenuous activities like exercising, biking, running, swimming, etc. It is recommended to brush your hair and remove all tangles before washing it.Wash your hair in a downward motion and ask your stylist what shampoo is best for your hair. Gradually wet the hair and brush gently before you completely wash it. This is more common with less expensive extension hair. Too much water added at once to very dry hair will make it swell up and tangle.
2. Use a soft bristle brush when styling or brushing your hair starting at the ends of the hair gently working your way up. Always brush your hair gently in a downward motion 2 or 3 times a day. Be careful with the use of blow dryers and curling irons for they shorten the duration of your extensions. Just letting your hair dry naturally is an effective hair extensions care.
3. In exercising, wear your hair up or in a ponytail to avoid sweat from wetting your hair. Also wear a cap when swimming or keep your hair out of the water. Chlorine and salt water can cause the hair to tangle and mat up.
4. Make sure your hair is completely dry before sleeping. Also wrap your hair together or gently tie it up to prevent tangling during sleep.
5. Hair care products like a good conditioner can keep your hair soft but avoid overdoing it. Too much conditioner or any other hair care product can cause a build up and tangling. Do not use hair products with alcohol content for it makes hair dry. Consult your stylist on the best products that suit your hair extensions care.
6. Enough of those other hair treatment, let your stylist take care of that. Do not perm, color or do any other chemical process to your own hair extensions for it might just ruin everything.

Hair extensions can be attached to your head in many different ways. Different methods have different advantages. The method you choose will depend on many factors: your hair, your lifestyle, your budget, and your needs. If you are looking for a long-lasting, natural-looking hair extension, consider one of the fusion methods.
Fusion is generally the preferred method as fused hair extensions can last up to three to six months with skilled application and proper care. With fusion hair extensions, the extensions should be indistinguishable from your natural hair. If properly applied, the attachment should be virtually invisible.
Fusion hair extensions can be applied in different ways: hot or cold fusion. Hot fusion or bonding uses hot glue to attach extensions to your hair. This is the more traditional method. While it does have many happy followers, others say that the glue causes the extensions to feel stiff and unnatural. These extensions can last up to 4 months.
Cold fusion is a new method, and is meant to be gentle for the hair. This method uses a keratin-based polymer to attach extensions to the root. As this method uses no heat, it is good for fine or thin hair. The polymer offers more flexibility than hot-glue, and results in more natural-feeling hair. For cold fusion hair extensions, many hairdressers use SoCap extensions and a clear bond. These extensions can last up to six months.
Fusion hair extensions are more expensive than other methods. If you want long-lasting, natural-looking luscious hair, they just might be the extensions for you.

Hair extensions, as their name suggests, are sections of hair added to your own natural hair, giving it added volume and length, even changing its style. Extensions can be real or synthetic. The most expensive and most natural looking extensions are made from human hair. Other alternatives are animal hair, treated human hair, and synthetic fibers.
Hair extensions are available in many different colors, textures, styles, and lengths. A skilled stylist can choose hair extensions that are virtually indistinguishable from your own hair. Extensions made from human hair can be styled after application. This enables wearers to have greater flexibility and naturalness in their daily style. Synthetic hair, on the other hand, is colored and styled before application and cannot be changed.
Hair extensions can be applied in a variety of ways depending on your needs and budget. For a fun, inexpensive, and temporary change of style, consider clip-on extensions. These are available at most department stores. Ponytail extensions are popular choices in clip-ons. Though clip-ons are generally not available in subtle color variations, they do come in all of the more common shades.
For a larger commitment in time and money, hair extensions can also be attached to hair by weaving, sewing, braiding, gluing, and tubing. Some of these methods can last from two to six months with proper application and maintenance. These methods should be performed in a salon. To determine which method best suits your lifestyle and your hair, do your research and speak to a qualified professional. For the health of your natural hair, make sure the person applying the extensions is a licensed cosmetologist.
