Best Hair Extensions near me in Penton Bellinger, Andover

You should care for real hair extensions just as you would your natural hair: brush, wash and condition them without overdoing it at the root, which could loosen the bonding. Synthetic extensions can be washed in cool water with a small amount of mild shampoo before applying a leave-in conditioner. It’s also advisable to book once-monthly appointments with your stylist to ensure the proper upkeep of your hair extensions.

There are five main types of real or synthetic hair extensions:

1. Clip-in – easy, temporary option that you simply clip onto your own hair.
2. Tape – strands of hair which are taped or glued to the roots of your natural hair.
3. Bonds – thin strands that are glued to your natural hair using heated keratin.
4. Weaves/Sew-in – hair strands that are sewn or braided to cornrows made with your own hair.
5. Microlink – thin strands of hair that are pulled through a silicone bead and clamped onto your natural hair.

The longevity of hair extensions depends upon the type you go for. Tape-in hair extensions last between 4-8 weeks; clip-ins can last 6-12 months depending on how well you take care of them; weaves (sew-in extensions) last 6-8 weeks; and both bond extensions and microlinks can last up to 12 weeks. You can extend their lifespan by looking after them correctly, so ask your stylist for advice.

The best method depends on your hair type, lifestyle and goals. Fine hair is often suited to tape-in or micro-link extensions; thick hair can usually support most methods. An extension specialist will assess your hair during a consultation to recommend the best approach.
