How To Buy Clip On Hair Extensions

Obtaining good quality hair extensions depends partly on your ability to buy them. If you look in discount stores and places that only sell the cheapest beauty products, then you can bet that your hair extensions won’t be of the highest quality. No, first you need to learn how to buy good hair extensions so that you may enjoy them for longer.

A lot of it has to do with your specific need for hair extensions. If you want to look super, you should look for human hair extensions that are good quality.
Human hair extensions can be styled just like your natural hair, meaning you can blow dry, straighten, curl, wash and dye them. You can do this with extensions that use 100 percent human hair, and they will provide the most natural results. The human hair has gone through a shaving, boiling and selecting process, so it’s quite obvious that all this work put into making the hair extensions will mean that the price is more elevated. You can find natural hair extensions in beauty stores along with the adhesives and shampoos required for attaching and removing, depending on the type of extensions you buy.
With synthetic extensions you get artificial fibers and less natural results. Of course these are a lot cheaper than natural hair extensions and can be found for $20 to $25 at discount beauty stores and general beauty supply stores in packs. Synthetic hair extensions can be washed (though not as often as natural ones) and of course can’t be heat styled because the artificial strands will be damaged. These kinds of extensions are best suited for occasions such as costume parties or drama plays where you don’t need a lot of quality in the hair.

Also, there are different types of extensions that work for different situations. For example, if you want temporary thickness and length, you can opt for clip in extensions that use high quality human hair (such as Easy Clips) or artificial hair. These can be easily attached to your natural locks in the comfort of your own home. Tape in extensions use a similar technique but instead of clips, you attach the extensions with sticky tape. Weaves, glue-in and sew-in extensions are all options if you want extensions that you don’t have to keep removing or attaching every time it’s necessary, but these need professional help to be applied.

Once you’ve got the specific type of hair extensions you want, you can go on to purchase them!
