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.

The beauty of hair pieces (extensions and toppers) is in their ability to blend not only with your natural hair color and density but also your hair length. Making sure your hairpieces blend with your natural hair length will make it look more natural and undetectable.

Repeat the same action all round to achieve a more blended result.

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.

How to take care of your wig

FOR ALWAYS SOFT AND SILKY HAIR
We do not imagine how pollution and urban agitation attack us every day, and our hair in the wind are the first sensors of these nuisances. The accumulation of fine particles, dust, sweat and also styling products makes the hair heavy and difficult to handle. They swell and tangle more easily. Here’s how to deal!

Wash your hair as soon as you feel it less flexible, that the curls are less defined, and that you find it harder to style your hair (in general or after a week depending on the use you make of the styling products).

Rinse the hair with cold water by adding a teaspoon of… apple vinegar or alcohol in the last bath. Yes, this grandmother’s remedy really works!

For a natural and light look, do not use too many care and hairstyling products. A few drops a day are enough. An excess of products weighs down the hair and makes it difficult to handle. In addition, it would require you to do frequent shampoos, which would complicate your routine.

Use moisturizing and nourishing products.
Do not hesitate to test the products, recommended or not, to find the ones that best suit your needs. The main thing is to invest in quality products like you do for your natural hair.

In all cases, avoid products containing petrolatum and lanolin which grease and weigh down the hair and ultimately dry it out since it does not allow true hydration.

Apply your moisturizer preferably on hair that is still damp, part of the water is then retained in the fiber and the hair will only be softer and flowing.

For wavy or curly hair, naturally drier, use a foam suitable for this type of texture. It is possible to compose it yourself with organic aloe vera, organic shea butter and pure organic oils of coconut, bean sprouts, or sweet almond to mix in a spray bottle with water purified hot. These oils can be replaced by a quality conditioner, in small doses. Another personal solution for quick refreshment and immediate redefinition of curls: moisten the hair well with a water sprayer (preferably from a source) and seal the hydration with a special curl mousse. Do not brush or pull on the hair, but rather press it between your hands. Guaranteed result! Moisturize the hair by emphasizing the lengths and ends and avoiding the base.

Heat friendly hair extensions or human hair extensions

uniwigs

There have been a lot of debate lately concerning which of these hair extensions is considered the best. Prior to the invention of these two extensions. All we ever cared for was good hair. Is it durable enough? Is it soft enough? Is it convincing enough? And with the inception of various types of extensions, we gradually saw people deviating to what they considered best at the time. Now we have a lot of people with their individual preferences who would kill to have a heat friendly hair extension over a human hair extension and vice versa.

It wasn’t always that difficult to choose. Synthetic hair extensions weren’t doing much good. It was just supposed to be worn for a certain period and it was always sure to shed and wear out very easily, it was only natural to choose the human hair counterpart. However in recent times and with technological advancements, heat friendly hair extensions have been created and we are back to debating which one is the a better alternative

Heat friendly hair extensions
Forget all you know about the synthetic hair extensions, the heat friendly hair extension definitely came with a lot of improvements. Synthetic hair was initially created for a more pocket friendly budget and was at a major disadvantage; highly inflammable, cannot be styled with hot tools and shed easily.

The new invention of synthetic hair extensions saw to it that they are heat friendly, are an excellent alternative to human hair, can be styled, more durable (4 – 6 months) allows for a plethora of colors, are natural looking as human hair, very easy to wear, can definitely be a part of your wardrobe when you choose to glam up and you cannot believe this are still budget friendly. The heat friendly hair extensions has somehow found its way into our hearts and sometimes are even considered a better alternative to the human hair extension

Human hair extension
The human hair extension on the other hand is more expensive and fits seamlessly into your hair. It gives room for versatility in that it can be styled using hot tools similar to how you’d style your hair and definitely lasts longer. It is more durable, can be colored and is definitely a must have.

Having a human hair extension and caring for it is likened to caring for your own hair hence the ease of use and its not so friendly budget.

Now that we have seen the major disparities between these two hair extensions and we understand the difficulty in choosing one over the other, what is the best alternative to go for, human hair extension or heat friendly hair extension?

There are various factors to consider when making a decision
1. How Long do they last
In getting a hair extension this question always comes to mind. Irrespective of the improvement that has been done to heat friendly synthetic hair extensions and no matter how original they may seem, they can only last for a period (4 to 6 months) and this must be well taken care of to ensure that they last this long. The human hair extension on the other hand can last for up to 3 years depending on how well they are looked after

2. Are they easy to maintain
Synthetic hair is known to be pre-set right from the box. Therefore it is very easy to maintain and would not fall easily in rain or humidity as opposed to the human hair extension. Human hair extensions are likened to natural hair and what happens when you style a human hair and walk under the rain? It falls. When it comes to easy maintenance, synthetic hair takes the shine

3. Can they be color treated?
The human hair stands out when it comes to color treatment, however, keep in mind that a human hair is already chemically treated and coloring may damage the hair. This means that you can still color the human hair but not as often as you’d wish. Heat friendly hair on the other hand, does not do well with coloring as coloring can cause permanent damage

4. Do they look natural?
Synthetic hairs are already beginning to blend in effortlessly. It is getting harder by the day to tell a synthetic hair (the heat friendly ones) from a human hair extension in that the both of them blend seamlessly into your hair, you’d be unable to distinguish your hair from the hair extension. The human hair extension on the other hand has a more natural look and is the preferred choice when trying to go for a completely natural look.

5. Budget
How much money are you willing to spare to get your hair extension? It is no news that the human hair extension is more expensive than the heat friendly hair extension and this budget is justified. Most human hairs are 100% gotten from humans whereas the heat friendly hair extensions are manufactured. When it comes to being affordable, the heat friendly hair extension is definitely the go to choice.

When it comes to making a choice generally, it is very difficult to say. A lot of people would go for heat friendly hair extensions because they are easier to maintain, pocket friendly and can now even be styled using hot tools, thanks to technology while others would simply go for human hair extensions because they are more natural and gives the perfect illusion of natural hair.

Making a decision therefore is solely based on your lifestyle or what kind of hair you are going for at that moment and most importantly, your budget at the time of purchase. In conclusion, both of them are excellent choices and can easily be incorporated into your wardrobe. Understand however, that the both of them come with their advantage and disadvantages.
