Tips for choosing the length and color of hair extensions

Short hair users are advised to choose a hair extension length that does not differ from their original hair by more than 10-15 centimeters. This makes it easier to transition naturally and avoids abruptness. You should try to match your hair color as much as possible, and you can also choose a dyed style to increase the sense of layering.

For thin hair, dual-tone or gradient hair colors are more likely to create a visually dense feeling. The texture of hair extensions should be consistent with one's hair. For natural straight hair, it is suggested to choose straight hair extensions to avoid excessive fluffiness or smoothness that may result in inconsistent texture.

Key nursing points before and after

The night before getting hair extensions, it's best to wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo to remove excess oil, which can affect how well the extensions bond. Avoid using any hair care products—especially conditioners or hair repair oils—as they can weaken adhesion. It's also a good idea to talk with your stylist beforehand to confirm the look you want. If you're going for a gradient effect, be sure to clearly specify the color and layering details in advance.

After the successful installation of hair extensions, scientific care is the key to ensuring the longevity and health of hair extensions. Choose sulfur-free shampoo and nourishing conditioner, and avoid forcefully pulling on the hair area. When washing hair, try to wash vertically and do not rub vigorously. Choose a wide-toothed comb and slowly comb from the end of the hair upwards to avoid pulling the real hair.

Try to minimize the use of hot tools such as hair dryers and high-temperature curling irons. That may cause damage to hair strands and hairline seams. When perming or using curling irons, avoid the seam position at the root of the hair. Check the fixation of the hair clip every 2-4 weeks, adjust or repair it promptly, and prevent the hair clip from loosening. Use the wash-free hair care essence to maintain the smoothness of hair reception. Return to the store for maintenance every 6-8 weeks.
