Real talk: how to keep your extensions looking natural

3 min read

Investing in high-quality hair extensions is an excellent way to achieve longer, fuller hair instantly. However, the secret to pulling off a picture-perfect look is making sure your extensions blend seamlessly with your natural hair. At Superior Hair Extensions, we know that maintaining a natural appearance with extensions is a top priority. Whether you're an expert or a first-time user, these tips will help you keep your hair extensions looking as natural as possible.

Choose the Right Extensions for Your Hair Type

The first step to achieving a natural look with hair extensions is selecting the right type. Consider your hair's texture, color, and length to find extensions that match perfectly. At Superior Hair Extensions, we have a wide range of options to suit various hair types and styles, making it easier for you to find your perfect match.

  • Color Match: The closer the color of your extensions is to your natural hair, the more seamless the blend will be.
  • Texture Matters: If you have curly or wavy hair, choose extensions with a similar texture for a unified look.
  • Length Compatibility: Choose extensions that complement your current hair length to avoid an obvious transition.

Proper Hair Extensions Installation Is Key

Even the highest quality hair extensions can look fake if they're not installed the right way. Whether you’re using clip-ins, tape-ins, or wefts, following the proper installation techniques is important.

Clip-Ins: For a natural look, section your hair and attach the clip-ins close to the roots, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.

Tape-Ins: Make sure the tape is properly secured, and the extensions lay flat against your scalp to avoid any visible lines. For a flawless and natural finish, they should be installed by a professional.

Halo Wefts: If using a halo weft, ensure it sits securely on your head and is well-hidden by your natural hair, blending seamlessly for a natural look.

Proper installation not only helps your extensions look natural but also prevents them from slipping or becoming visible throughout the day.

Blending Your Hair Extensions Seamlessly

One of the most important steps in keeping your hair extensions looking natural is blending them with your natural hair. This involves styling your hair and extensions together to create a smooth transition.

  • Cut and Layer: After installation, consider having your extensions cut and layered by a professional. This will help them blend more naturally with your natural hair.
  • Style Together: Always style your extensions and natural hair together. Use heat tools like curling irons or straighteners to ensure both your hair and the extensions have the same wave or curl pattern.
  • Tease for Volume: Teasing the roots of your natural hair can help cover the wefts or clips, ensuring they remain undetectable. By focusing on blending, you can achieve a natural, voluminous look that compliments your overall appearance.

Maintain Your Hair Extensions Like a Pro

In order to keep your extensions looking natural and new over time, you have to carefully take care of them. Good maintenance practices not only extend the life of your hair extensions but also ensure they continue to blend seamlessly with your natural hair.

  • Gentle Washing: Use shampoos that are sulfate-free, and conditioners designed especially for hair extensions. Wash your extensions regularly to keep them clean and soft, but avoid over-washing, as this can lead to dryness.
  • Proper Brushing: Use a brush specifically designed for extensions or a wide-tooth comb to avoid tangling and breakage. Always begin brushing from the ends and work your way up to the roots.
  • Avoid Heat Damage: While heat styling is often necessary to blend your extensions with your natural hair, try to use heat tools at a minimum. When you do use them, apply a heat protection spray to prevent damage.

Taking these steps will help keep your extensions in perfect condition which in return, makes them look as natural as possible for as long as possible.
