How to Use Hair Extensions to Add Style to Your Hair

Your stylist can help you explore the options that extensions offer.

Personal style is by no means limited to the clothing that you wear. Your hair is just as important in crafting the image and persona that you want to display to the world. Whether your style is ultra conservative or wild and funky, the hair on your head can help you express your life philosophy. This is even possible if the hair on your head is not your own. Extensions present several ways to express yourself with your hair.

Instructions

1. Use extensions to sample new colors. You can change the color of your entire head or use hair that has built in highlights. Testing out color this way lets you avoid the damaging effects of color treating your natural hair.

2. Lengthen your natural hair. Rather than waiting on your hair to grow back out following a bad cut, extensions can add inches to your hair instantly.

3. Change the texture of your hair with extensions. If your hair is pin straight, you can now have a head full of bouncy curls. If you were born with a flurry of curls, your hair can become sleek and straight.

4. Build up the volume of thin hair with extensions. If your hair is thin or completely gone in certain areas, extensions can make it thicker and more more full.

5. Add single extension pieces to accentuate your personal style. The use of a playful or sexy ponytail can be an instant shot in the arm for your personal style. Clip on bang pieces can also add dramatic change without requiring a long application process.
