How to Make Extensions Look Like Natural Hair

You might consider using hair extensions if your hair is thinning or if you want to create a longer, fuller hairstyle for an event such as prom or a wedding. The last thing you want when using extensions is for these extensions to be noticeable or to look fake. In order to make these hair extensions look like your natural hair, you will need to flawlessly merge the extensions with your hair. Prepping and then styling the extensions will make them look like your regular hair.

Instructions

1. Use natural hair extensions that match the color of your hair. It is very difficult to make synthetic hair extensions look real.

2. Cut the extensions so that they blend with your natural haircut before placing the extensions in your hair. If you have a layered haircut, for example, the extensions should also be layered. After the extensions have been added to your hair, you might need to detail the extensions once more with either straight or texturizing shears in order to ensure they blend correctly with your natural hair.

3. Decide whether you would like to wear your hair curly or straight. If you generally wear your hair curly or wavy, it would be wise to wear it in similar way once you add the extensions.

4. Clip your natural hair together with the hair extensions into your curling or straightening iron. By doing this, you will merge your extensions with your natural hair and make the extensions look natural.
