Things to Know Before Getting Professional Hair Extensions

Tired of your bob, lob or short hairstyle? Want longer locks – but don’t feel like waiting a couple of years for your hair to grow? Hair extensions make that natural long hair look possible – without the wait! 

Once exclusive to the worlds of supermodels, celebrities and social media influencers, hair extensions have recently gained popularity with the everyday woman. While non-celebrities can now enjoy hair extension services, there are lots of things that must be considered pursuing this process. 

Before you book your appointment, allow us to fill you in on some essential information about hair extensions. 

Know Your Hair Goals

Why do you want to get hair extensions? What are you trying to achieve? It’s important to know the answers to these questions before you book your appointment. Some women simply want to add length or volume. Others may want a new look for a big event like a wedding. And many just want to try something new. Since hand-tied weft extensions (our specialty at Whitney Evans Beauty) are a longer-lasting solution, it’s best to know what your exact hair goals are before making a choice.

Know Your Desired Hair Color 

Hair extensions are not only a great way to achieve that longer-length look. They also allow you to change your hair color, too! Before selecting your hair extension, it’s best to determine what your hair color goals are. Do you want to remain with your natural hair color? Or do you want a new color to match your new look? Knowing what you want to do with your hair color will help make the hair extension process go more smoothly! 

Hair Care is Essential

While professional hand-tied hair extensions can last months, they require an extra bit of care and maintenance. Not using the right techniques and products could damage your extensions and shorten their lifespan. Be sure to listen to your hair extension specialist during your appointment. They’ll provide you with all of the information and recommended products you’ll need to correctly care for your extensions. By following their instructions and advice, you’ll be able to enjoy your extensions for months to come. 

Consultations are Key to Extension Success 

While it seems like there’s a lot to consider before starting off your hair extension journey, don’t worry. The experts at Whitney Evans Beauty will help you every step of the way. Before you begin your hair extension application process, you’ll meet with a talented specialist to discuss the information listed above. 

Each specialist will help you determine your hair goals, select your preferred length, choose the best hair color, explain the proper hair care techniques, and recommend the best products to keep your extensions looking their best. Plus, your extensions expert will answer any questions you may have about the application and aftercare maintenance.
