She likes to experiment with colors and lengths, but like Paris and Jessica her favorite remains blonde. The last look given by her stylist looks a bit fake though. He applied blonde hair extensions in a shade called strawberry blonde. The problem is that her extensions are too long and you can actually see where her natural hair stops and the extensions continue. This is proof that even professionals make mistakes and you should be careful.

Problems that may occur regarding your blonde hair extensions

If you decide to apply hair extensions, it is very important to be aware of the problems that they can bring in order to avoid them. Unless you have them properly applied and choose good quality hair extensions you might seriously and permanently damage your hair.

The most common problems and the most serious of them are hair loss and alopecia. And yes, your blonde hair extensions can cause that if you’re not careful. You’re getting hair extensions because you want longer hair, not having any hair at all. Moreover it’s very difficult to deal with alopecia and you may never solve this affection.

I’m going to state the most common cases when your hair extensions can become your enemy. Firstly, if you’re going to apply hair extensions, do it properly. Don’t go for cheap services. You might find an unskilled hairdresser that will apply them wrongly and they could fall out in the best cases or damage your hair in the worst cases. Secondly, the technique of applying hair extensions is very important. The ones glued-in, sewn-in or attached to the hair with a metal ring are the most damaging to your hair as they pull it. Also it’s best to choose natural hair extensions rather then artificial. They’re more expensive but their quality is by far better. Another important aspect is the duration of the period in which you wear your blonde hair extensions. You should listen to your hairdresser when he or she says you need to take a break from wearing them because they know what they’re doing. You shouldn’t be stubborn and go to another one and have them re-applied. Also it is recommended to have only one hairdresser so that you can have the activity of your hair well monitored.

Having low quality hair extensions or an unqualified hairdresser applying them might lead to serious hair loss. They can pull out your natural hair, they’re heavy. Don’t absorb water and tangle easily while brushing or combing. The result: damaged hair that will need an expensive treatment.

Blonde Hair Extensions: My experience

If you are thinking of adding hair extensions to your hair but you’re not familiar with this process yet, I thought my experience with blonde hair extensions would be useful.

The reason why I chose to put hair extensions was that I desperately needed a change in my look. I’ve always had thin hair and I wore it no longer than my shoulders because I never had the patience to let it grow. My best friend suggested I had hair extensions. And since I was determined to dramatically change my appearance, I thought it would be a great idea to change my hair colour too. Obviously blonde hair extensions were the way to go.

The first step I needed to take was choosing a colour, more exactly a specific shade of blonde. I went to the saloon to dye my hair because I wanted to get the best result. Then I went to search the hair extensions that fitted best. I was lucky because hair extensions have a wide range of shades for each colour from which I could choose. There were more options: natural hair, synthetic hair or blends of natural and synthetic hair. I went for the natural hair extensions. Even if they are by far more expensive than the other two types, if you can afford them they are the best choice. First of all you can style your hair if you use professional products and take really good care. You can use a flat iron, a curling iron or the hair dryer if you keep low the level of heat. With synthetic or blends of synthetic and natural hair you can’t do all that because the hair extensions would be damaged. I bought hair extensions with a sleek texture because I have thin straight hair and that’s how I usually wear it. It’s important that the texture of your hair extensions is accordingly to the way you usually wear your hair because you shouldn’t style it that often. It’s better if you use the help of a professional, like I did.

After I got my blonde hair extensions I went to the saloon to apply them. They must be applied by a professional as nobody can do this at home by himself. You should clear your schedule for that day because applying the hair extensions takes a while, especially if they are clip-on like mine were. After you are finished with applying them ask your hair-stylist to give you tips on how to maintain them for a longer life. Ask him or her about shampooing, combing and of course styling you hair. If you take into consideration his piece of advice you should have long-lasting beautiful hair extensions.

If you are thinking of getting hair extensions but you were not sure about the whole process, I really hope that my personal experience was helpful.

Blonde Hair Extensions

Blonde hair extensions are the way to go if you are bored of the same old look and need a change in your appearance. You can also conceal thinning or hair loss if you have one of these problems.

Before you make a decision you should know some facts about hair extensions to help you choose what kind of blonde hair extensions suit you best. I’m going to talk about different types of hair fibres, textures and colours and how to maintain your blonde hair extensions in order to achieve a longer life-span.

When you choose your hair extensions the first thing you need to consider is from what type of hair fibres they will be made of. You can find two types on the market: human hair or synthetic hair. There are advantages and disadvantages with each of them. The best choice would be to get your blonde hair extensions fully made of human hair. This type of extensions is usually advertised by ethnic origin: India, China, and Europe. They might also have one of the following inscriptions: ‘virgin hair’ which means the hair has never been altered in any way or coloured or ‘remy’ which means that all the fibers are human, because there might be blonde hair extensions made of blends of synthetic hair and human hair. The only disadvantage in this case would be the price, as human hair extensions are more expensive. The other type of hair extensions is the synthetic one which has the advantage of being by far cheaper. The most common types of synthetic hair extensions are Kanekalon and Toyokalon. Another advantage in this case would be that they come in a variety of colours and textures and you have a wider range from where to choose the shade of blonde hair extensions that feels perfect for you.

In what concerns textures and colours it’s good to know that there is a great variety on the market from where you can choose. The textures of the hair extensions go from very straight to extremely curly or kinky. It is important when you buy the hair extensions to get the texture of hair accordingly to the style in which your hair is worn because as you will see further some hair extensions can’t handle styling. Choosing the colour of your blonde hair extensions is very easy as there is a standard scale to classify the hair by colours. The lower number is the darkest colour and as it goes up the shades go lighter.

After you applied your blonde hair extensions you have to maintain them carefully in order to last longer. You shampoo them just like you do it with the normal hair, the only difference being that you have to use a mild shampoo or a wig shampoo sometimes. You also have to apply a conditioner to avoid hair tangling which you will rinse with cool water. Take extra care when drying or brushing your them.

In terms of styling, you should avoid it as much as you can as heat straightening or curling you extensions damages the hair. Synthetic and mixes of human and synthetic hair should be treated more carefully when heat styling it. In many cases it is forbidden or you should use very low heat. Most synthetics will be destroyed when subjected to the flat iron, curling iron or blow-drying.

I hope this piece of advice was helpful to you and it will guide you towards choosing the blonde hair extensions that suits you best.
