FACT 1: This resource only provides the HARD FACTS.

FACT 2: This website isn’t pretty, just full of great info!

As new methods of adding hair extensions arrive, we will provide everything you need to know here. You can learn about hair extension methods, hear the latest hair extension news, get detailed info about hair extension care, celebrity hair articles, or browse the really popular section on other hair stuff.

Enjoy this resource and remember to do a search (top right corner) if you can’t find what you’re looking for. You can also contact us if you have a hair extension related question.

Adding Hair Extensions To Short Hair

If you are thinking about adding hair extensions, one important consideration is the length of your natural hair. With most of the main types of hair extension methods, you can see where the hair extension has been attached to the natural hair. Whether you are considering clip ins, loop extensions or bonded extensions, the attachment point will be visible. The way that people can’t tell you have extensions added, is that your natural hair will cover the attachment points. So the question is…

How Long Should Your Natural Hair Be To Add Hair Extensions?

My colleagues and I will generally recommend to clients that their hair is at least 4 inches long. This will give us enough natural hair to play with so that the extensions are undetectable. You will find that some salons will add extensions to shorter hair and some prefer longer hair than 4 inches. But 4 inches will give you a rough idea on how long your natural hair should be to add extensions. I hope it helps you!

Micro Ring Hair Extension Damage

In a previous post, I looked at a few causes of micro ring extensions damage.

Hair Extension Maintenance Tip

Have you recently had hair extensions added by a hair extension technician? If yes, it is really important that you maintain your extensions. Please refer to this previous post I provided which has heaps of info on getting the most out of your hair.

One additional point I’d like to make is follow up maintenance. You really should go back to the extension technician about 2-3 weeks after having them added. This will allow your hair to be checked to make sure everything is in order. It will also give you a chance to ask any questions which you’re more than likely going to have. So if you recently added the extensions, why not book in an appointment now? Don’t just leave the extensions for 3-6 months, by that time if you’re doing something wrong it will be too late.

One other quick side point. Check with your hair extension technician what the costs are (if any) for additional check ups. In some cases, the costs are really high and you may not have any alternative but to pay up. This is especially important for those girls who live in small towns which may only have one hair extension technician.
