Understanding Hair Extensions
Marjan breaks down the world of hair extensions, offering advice for everyone considering adding length or volume. Here’s what you need to know:
- Types of Extensions: “Ther are so many different types of extensions now,” Marjan explains. “You have tape-ins, sew-ins, clip-ins, halos, and I-tips. Each one has a different application method and a different longevity.”
- Tape-Ins: These are popular for their relatively quick application and comfortable wear. They involve sandwiching sections of hair between two adhesive tapes.
- Sew-Ins: A more permanent option, sew-ins involve braiding natural hair and sewing extensions onto the braids.
- Clip-Ins: The most temporary option, clip-ins are easy to apply and remove, making them perfect for special occasions.
- I-Tips: These are individual strands of hair attached using small beads.
Marjan’s Top Tips for Extensions
Beyond choosing the right type, Marjan emphasizes the importance of proper care and maintenance.
“The biggest thing is to treat them like your own hair,” Marjan advises. “That means being gentle when brushing, using sulfate-free products, and avoiding excessive heat styling.”
Here are some key takeaways:
- Sulfate-Free Products: Sulfates can strip extensions of their moisture, leading to dryness and damage.
- Gentle Brushing: Use a brush designed for extensions to avoid pulling or snagging.
- heat Protection: Always use a heat protectant spray before using hot tools.
- Nighttime Care: Braid your hair before bed to prevent tangling.
- Professional Maintenance: Schedule regular appointments with a qualified stylist for adjustments and maintenance.
Choosing the Right Extensions for You
Marjan stresses the importance of consulting with a professional to determine the best extension method for your hair type and lifestyle.
