Getting hair extensions to look natural isn’t just about the length of them. There are many other factors such as the texture of the hair and the color, as well as how you have them fitted. If you want extra volume, more length or just to have more styles then matching your extensions can help to create a natural, flawless look.

Understanding Your Natural Hair

It’s really important to evaluate your own hair before choosing extensions, including your hair type, density and color. There are lots of different hair textures including straight, wavy, curly and coily. Straight hair can be made to work with straight hair extensions but often requires some blending if you have wavy hair. If you have curly or wavy hair it is best to match the curl pattern of your natural hair with curly or wavy hair extensions to avoid being able to see a mismatch.

The hair density will play a large role in determining the type of extensions that are suitable. Fine or thin hair would require lightweight clip-in or tape-in extensions to prevent to much pressure on the hair and for them to stay in place. Medium to thick hair can hold much heavier wefts for sew-in extensions and have very full hair without feeling to tight or uncomfortable.

To make your extensions look very natural we match the color of the extensions to the root tone and highlights of your hair. We also do subtle balayage or ombre extensions which add dimension to your hair but looks very natural. When choosing a color for your extensions we have to take into account how your hair will look in artificial lighting as well as natural sunlight to avoid any unexpected contrasts.

Tape-in hair extensions are flat and very lightweight. They can be worn on a daily basis as they are very natural and last long. Perfect for fine hair that needs more volume.

It is very important to have them installed correctly to ensure that they last a long time and blend in perfectly with your natural hair.

Matching Color and Highlights

When matching hair color for hair extensions we use a color chart. It’s very important to match the root color of the clients natural hair and also take into account the undertones of their natural hair color. We can create ombre hair extensions or balayage hair extensions that look like you’ve just come out of a salon. It looks great and doesn’t look fake. We test samples of the color in different lighting to make sure that it looks great in all light.

For brunettes adding subtle highlights of chestnut or caramel will add depth to their hair color. For blondes multi-tonal single strands of hair can look great by replicating the natural look of hair that has been kissed by the sun. For those with red hair it is imperative to get the highlights matched to their natural hair color or it will clash horribly.

Installation and Blending Techniques

To make hair extensions look natural they have to be installed correctly. By dividing your hair into sections such as the crown of your head, the sides and the back of your head, hair extensions can be put in place more easily. When installing clip-in hair extensions it is best to attach them to strong sections of hair and try to distribute the weight as evenly as possible to avoid putting too much stress on your own hair. Tape-in hair extensions have to be put in at the root of your hair one by one and sew-in hair extensions have to be stitched into your natural hair at the parting where your hair naturally parts.

Blending involves layering your hair extensions down with your natural hair and using soft hair cuts and styles to blend. When it comes to textured hair it’s best to curl or straighten your hair extensions to match any natural hair patterns to avoid visible differences between the two.

Key Tips for Blending

· Use a tail comb to create even sections.

· Match extension curl or wave with natural hair.

· Cut extension ends subtly for layered effect.

· Style with gentle heat to merge textures.
