Something about hair extensions

Some women may have difficulty growing long hair which makes extensions ideal and if they purchase the clip in versions then they can have long hair one day and the next it can be back to their natural length. Hair extensions are becoming a must have fashion accessory and we now see celebrities launching their own brand of hair extension. One example of this is Jessica Simpson who has a broad range of hair accessories including clip in hair extensions.

However, the problem with the human hair extensions is that there are plenty of different types of them available. Now, all of them have different characteristics and therefore, demand different methods of maintenance.

if you are looking for an inexpensive and temporary way of creating the hair of your dreams, then clip-in hair extensions might be for you. Clip ins are temporary and interchangeable so that you can “clip on” to your natural hair. The advantages of using clip in extensions as opposed to professionally applied hair extensions are that they look.

How to apply hair extensions

Make sure that the hair is clean and dry. Do not apply any conditioner because it will leave an oily film on the hair that will weaken the bond.
Decide on your hair style and how you will be applying the hair weft(hair extensions).

Starting at the back of your head, section the hair by making a narrow part along your natural hair line. Place this small section in a braid and out of the way. Make another narrow part from ear to ear. Place remaining hair in a ponytail and out of your way.

Measure and cut hair weft (hair extensions) to the desired width from ear to ear. Be sure to allow for a little natural hair on the sides in order to hide the hair weft.

Apply a small bead of the Liquid Gold Bonding Glue along the hair weft (hair extensions) and wait for it to become tacky. Take your time with this step because the bonding glue can be quite stringy and sticky.

Apply along parted section of your hair, close to the scalp but not on the scalp. Press in place for a few seconds to dry.

If you want a stronger and longer bond you can heat seal the bonding by using a blow dryer over the track for a few seconds. Take care to keep the blow dryer moving back and forth over the track to speed up the drying process, and to avoid a burn.

Repeat by making another narrow part and continue through all the above steps, row by row until the desired amount of hair has been added.

This method can be mastered with practice and a friend. Start off with adding only 1 or 2 tracks until you have mastered the technique. You will be able to wash you hair normally. You will want to avoid greasy conditioners because they will loosen the bonds. Also, you will want to avoid heat directly over the bonds and oily or greasy hair and scalp products beacause these will also loosen the bonds.
