Picking out the right hair extensions for your hair can be a challenge. Watch this video from VideoJug to guide you in selecting your hair extensions.
Hi. I would like to show you today how to pick hair extensions. There are also different textures and different types of hair you can go for.
There are different things you can achieve with hair extensions but the main thing is I think for everyone is to make it look as natural as possible to get the closest match to your own hair. The color of your hair basically determines the color of extensions you are going to have. You can add some different colors to your hair but mainly to make it look more natural, you have to stick to the colors of what you have in your hair.
If you have a little bit of brown underneath, just integrate it into your hair extension. If the top is quite light, then obviously it will be lighter extensions on top. The second thing to consider is hair texture.
If you would like your hair extensions looking as natural as possible before styling and after styling, the best way is to go for the same texture of hair extensions similar to your own natural hair. If your hair is slightly wavy, I would recommend you going for slightly wavy hair extension. If you're going on the beach, for example, if your hair is wet and you want it to dry naturally, if your hair goes and dries with a bit of wave, then it's nice when hair extensions dry with a bit of wave too so you can achieve natural look without even styling your hair.
In order to make hair extensions work, you also have to consider the length of your own hair. If your hair is very short on top, you shouldn't really have, you know, go for very long hair extensions because it's extremely difficult to get it to look natural without too much styling. You would have to work really hard in order to make that look perfect.
There are different grades of human hair. Even if you go for the right color match and the right texture, you still have to consider the quality of hair and it's one of the main things. In order to check the quality of hair, in order to recognize good quality of the hair, there are a few tips I could share.
If you're blonde like my model, the best hair for her would be the finest European. Russian hair would be the best. To recognize it, you have to take the ponytail and find out if this hair has a got a cuticle on it like on our hair.
Most of the hair on the market right now comes from China. The hair generally is very, very thick. So in order for this ponytail to feel finer, lots of hair is stripped of cuticle.
Cuticle is very important. Each hair, each bunch of hair, has to have cuticles on because the cuticle gives that shine, gives that protection and just makes the hair look healthy and leaves it strong as well. I wouldn't recommend you use processed hair simply because it doesn't look good, it doesn't last, it breaks very easily and you wouldn't enjoy wearing it on an everyday basis.
It would be very difficult to style due to tangling, dryness, etc. To check if the hair has got a cuticle, you have to take the ponytail and basically try to slide your hand the opposite direction like this. If your fingers don't go, don't go up.
Well, it's down but it is up the shaft, very easily, it means there is a cuticle preventing us from going smooth. If you go the opposite way, the normal way where the cuticle is, it's very, very nice and smooth. This hair is not processed.
If the hair is very silky all the way down and up, this hair is not good. It's covered with silicone, there is no cuticle on and it is better to avoid this hair. That was my advice on how to pick your hair extensions. .
