However, human hair extensions are the best type of hair extensions, preferred by the majority, as they’re easier to care and give good results. Human hair extensions can help you achieve that dream of having perfect locks and setting up new hairstyles without waiting for your own hair to grow. If you’re looking for hair extensions for prom hairstyles or wedding hairstyles, you’ll need to remember a few things before you proceed.

First of all, how human hair extensions are applied is extremely important. There’s a track made by your hair by creating a similar braid. Then in the next step, the hair extensions are sewed to the track. This particular track (also called a cornrow) by many hair stylists goes around the back of your head horizontally. For most of the wedding and prom hairstyles, your crown area will be covering your top track. The number of tracks you’ll need for the hairstyle will depend on how many wefts you go for. Apart from that, the quantity of hair you need to get the wedding/prom hairstyle will ultimately determine the number of tracks you’ll need. Once the hair stylist is done with the tracks, the human hair extensions will be sewn with the tracks. We usually recommend high quality Indian hair for this type of procedure. This leads to the hair blending with your own, natural hair. Thus, hair extensions get to be treated as your own hair.

Caring for your human hair extension is no different than caring for your own hair. In fact, they should be treated exactly like your own normal hair. However, the fact that you couldn’t grow long, healthy hair in the first place shows that proper care wasn’t given to your hair to initiate new growth. By caring for your hair extensions, you can always be confident about the long hair styles you can choose from and get that glamorous look that you’ve always wanted.

It’s important to keep in mind that you should never ignore washing, conditioning along with moisturizing your human hair extensions every 2-3 days. Since your hair extensions won’t be getting the natural scalp oils, moisturizing has to be added to your routine. By not regularly moisturizing your human hair extensions, they slowly turn brittle, which causes them to break off easily. In the end this leaves you with unruly, split ends.

Don’t forget that hair extensions need extra care, as they will not grow back. So don’t go berserk with the blow dryer or curling iron on them as this can cause damage and burn your beautifully crafted remy hair.  A visit to your hairstylist every few weeks is necessary for good maintenance of your perfectlocks, which includes removing the wefts and checking the extensions for any kind of external build up from the shampoos or any other hair products that you’ve been using.
