What do celebs like J.
Lo, Kim Kardashian, and Chrissy Teigan all have in common?
The good news: you don’t have to be Beyonce to have hair like a boss.
In fact, all you need is a little research to start.
Real or synthetic?
Each has its benefits and drawbacks.
Human hair extensions have a natural look and feel.
They also have a certain shine and movement that’s difficult to recreate in synthetic hair.
One great thing about synthetic extensions is that most can be worn out of the box.
Plus, they hold up in bad weather because they don’t frizz like natural hair does.
They also don’t last as long as human hair, typically requiring replacement every 3-6 months.
Consider your lifestyle
Think about your everyday routine when considering hair extensions.
Do you spend a lot of time out in the sun?
Do you often add a lot of heat to your locks with blowdryers and flat irons?
This could help in deciding which extensions are right for you.
Do your research and be prepared to make an investment.
Be prepared to spend 3-4 hours at the salon on the day of your appointment.
Before investing in permanent extensions,play around with clip-ons.
What’s even better, clip-ons are a fraction of the cost of regular extensions.
