Always purchase 100% human hair extensions – We all know that Synthetic hair is much cheaper, but have you ever heard the phrase you get what you pay for? Human hair extensions are an investment, and like any other major purchase, if you choose wisely and do your research, you will be delighted with the results.

Buy Remy– Remy or Remi human hair is the finest hair quality around. The cuticles on the hair are still attached and going in the same direction. This keeps the hair healthy longer and prevents shedding and tangling. Just purchasing human hair doesn’t mean its the best or will last long. Remy hair will last longer and tends to be more expensive. Again Quality vs. Quantity.

Try to buy Do-it-Yourself at Home techniques – Going to the salon to purchase hair extensions can be extremely costly. The newest techniques like micro-bead and the the oldest fusion, will cost upwards of $2000.00 a pop. Since salons are exclusive when it comes to supplying and applying extensions they dominate the market and can charge an arm and a leg for the same products.

Choose a natural hair color – Wild hair colors are fun, but opting for more subtle, natural tones will make hair extensions blend in with your own hair better.

Choose hair extensions pre-tipped with keratin – Hair extensions with keratin tips will blend in more seamlessly with your own hair than extensions that require messy glues and adhesives. Hair extensions with keratin tips have a simple and mess-free application process that won’t damage your hair or make it obvious you are not going all natural. These extensions can be used with micro-beads, shrinkies, or micro-links which require no glues that may damage the hair. Individual strand extensions will also last longer than traditional extensions, usually any where between 4- 6 months.

If you have really short hair, don’t go rapunzel long – Deciding length is very wise, because you don’t want to end up with really short choppy layers on the top and 18 inches of really long hair underneath. If you have short hair add about 4-6 inches to the hair for each layer added.
