How To Attach Hair Extensions at Home

Hair extensions if done professionally are without a doubt costly, but what cannot be denied is this, hair extensions can transform one’s look for the better and therefore making it worth the while. Unfortunately, not all of us are willing to spend hundreds on a few strands of hair which in the end will come off anyway. Fortunately, extensions can be bought in beauty stores and can be attached by yourself or by a friend.

The first thing which should be known is that extensions can be applied in two ways. The first way would be weaving. Weaving is done by sewing the extensions to the small parts of hair braided to the scalp, these braids are called tracks. This method should probably be done professionally because it is rather difficult and risky to do and should not be attempted at home. The second method is by using hair glue. Attaching extensions by using hair glue is fairly easy and can be done at home by a friend or even by yourself.

The first step is to determine which hairstyle best suits you. Face shape, hair color and texture should all be taken into consideration when choosing extensions. The following step is to buy the hair glue. The hair glue should match your hair color and not differ too much from the color of your extensions.

The next step is to prepare your hair by ensuring it’s both clean and dry in order to prevent any build-up. The glue should be applied directly to the tips of the extensions which are to be attached to your hair. Let the glue dry a little bit to create a sticky texture to avoid the glue texture from being too runny. Once it is ready to be applied, apply the extensions to the hair very near the scalp but remember not to apply the extensions directly to the scalp. If there are any mistakes while applying the extensions, use a hairdryer to heat the glue up and to redo the previous step. Remember not to wash your hair for at least 24 hours because the extensions need time to set properly.

After following these how-to steps, you’re set to show your new hair off to the world! With hair extensions, everyone and anyone can obtain sexy gorgeous hair without needing to wait every few months for a few inches to grow.
