Different Ways To Wear Your Human Hair Extensions

uniwigs

Human hair extensions are a really quick and simple way of updating your look and giving you either extra thickness or some length. Alternatively, they can also be clipped in for those people that want to add some highlights or color into their hair but don’t want it permanently. Here in this article, we shall look at why human hair works well and how to put in clip-in extensions yourself.

Some hair extensions are really expensive and require a professional hairdresser to put them in, but with clip-in hair, anyone can add great-looking hair at a fraction of the price. With a little bit of patience and practice, you can be an expert in styling your human hair extensions. You can be as creative as you won’t – wear it long and straight, curl it up or even put it in braids. There are many options that you can try when it comes to styling human extensions, although most women prefer the simple, long, and silky look.

Firstly, when choosing human hair extensions you need to be certain that the color of your natural hair will match the extension, if you want to make a bolder statement then choose a color that is different from your own or one that is even bolder, such as a bright red or blue.

After you have chosen the color you want your extensions to be, measure the length of your hair, if you have long hair already and just want to add some thickness, then you will want extensions that are the same length.
However, if you want to add length to the short style you are going to have to blend in the extensions so that they look natural. You can achieve this in two ways, either by purchasing different lengths so that your natural length looks like a short layer or to buy some long hair and then cut sections of it so that it looks like it has been styled, rather than just long hair that has been clipped in.

There are some simple steps that you need to follow to create the best look with your human extensions. First, you need to keep your hair clean and you need to remove knots by combing through it before you put on clip in hair extensions. If you want to straighten your hair first, make sure to use a good hair straightener before you apply the clip in hair extensions. You can also use a straightening iron on human hair extensions, but test the heat on a small piece first to make sure that it will not damage the hair strands. Once you have prepared your hair and the clip in extensions, you can then apply each piece one by one, gently comb after each application to make your natural hair blend well with the hairpieces. You can achieve a smoother finish by using the straightener again after all pieces are clipped in.

Human hair extensions are fantastic if you want a long curly appearance that looks like it is blowing in the wind like the Victoria Secret models. We all know that when we curl our hair, it shortens it and can end up around your ears. Not a great look unless you want to look like Shirley Temple. So, if you want those long gorgeous curls you will need to start with long hair first so human extensions are the perfect answer. Always use some heat protective spray on your hair and the extensions. It is also recommended that you use a clipless curling iron. That means there is no clamp on the curling iron barrel and this will mean that the hair won’t get caught and break and your human hair extensions won’t get damaged. To get the most natural look, it is best to wait to curl your extensions with your hair after all the pieces have been applied. By curling the hair after they have been applied, you will be able to create curls that have a blend of both your hair and the human hair extensions. This means that they will look more natural and it won’t be obvious that you have two different lengths of hair. There are many ways you can curl your hair including ribbon style curls, wavy hair, and normal curls. You can also curl your human hair extensions in an outwards direction for a blowing in the wind look or inwards for a sexy 1950s style.

You can also try wearing your human extensions in an up-style, like a ponytail. You can easily do this by reversing the way you attach the lower clip in the hairpieces so that the top part of the piece gets to the bottom when you tie your hair in a ponytail. Your natural hair and the clip in extension will blend naturally, giving you a smoother finish. Try gently combing back or teasing your natural hair to create a more voluminous look that can hide the clips better. Remember not to backcomb the human hair extensions so as not to damage them.

Human hair extensions are an excellent must-have fashion and beauty accessory that anyone can use. They make an excellent addition to your look and they instantly offer you long beautiful hair which may be styled in different ways. Long straight silky hair, curly and voluminous locks and sexy up-styles like ponytails are all easily achievable with good quality clip in hair extensions. The versatility of human hair extensions makes them great for all occasions, whether you wear them for special events or a day.

It is always a good idea to straighten your hair before clipping in the extensions so that it all looks smoother and a lot more natural, unless the look you want is a curly style, of course! Finally, make sure that when you wash and dry your extensions that you condition them like you would your hair and be aware that any over styling or heat will eventually damage the hair so take care of it.

How to take care of your synthetic wigs

uniwigs

Synthetic wigs, especially if they are long or very long, deteriorate due to friction (rubbing the nape of the neck, shoulders, scarves, collars, scarves …). If you can’t renew it, there are tricks to soften the fiber of synthetic wigs and leave it almost like new! Mind you, the length of the fix is ​​somewhat temporary, but it can save you for a couple more weeks of use without having to buy a new synthetic wig.

Most importantly, maintenance is first of all. If we regularly apply a specific mask for synthetic wigs, the duration of the fiber in good condition will be longer than if we do not use anything.

This trick can only be done with heat resistant fiber wigs. If your wig does not admit heat, the result would be disastrous and it would spoil much more.

1) Brush the wig to remove tangles from middle to ends.

2) When the wig is old and damaged by rubbing, immerse in hot water and apply a scoop of concentrated fabric softener that we use for clothing. Wait 15 to 30 min before rinsing thoroughly.

3) Dry with the dryer at medium temperature and leave the synthetic wig wet in the most damaged areas.

4) While still damp from medium to ends (humidity is important), divide into small locks and start by passing the iron at medium temperature (140 degrees). Increase the temperature gradually until you see that the frizz is mitigating and the fiber softer.

5) Never raise the temperature of the iron more than 180 degrees.

6) Pass the iron until the wig is completely dry.

The fiber should be softer, the ends more sealed and more manageable for about two more weeks.
