At Whitney Evans Beauty, we pride ourselves on offering our clients the best services, products, and experiences.
After years of working with hair extension clients behind the chair, we created Whitney Evans Beauty Hair Extensions, our own luxury hair extension line designed to deliver the quality, versatility, and natural-looking results we want for our clients.
If you’re considering hair extensions for the first time, there are a few things you should know before getting started.
From hair quality and maintenance to coloring and styling, understanding how extensions work can help you protect your investment and get the most out of your new hair.
Quality Hair Extensions Make a Difference
Not all hair extensions are created equal.
The quality of the hair plays an important role in how your extensions look, feel, style, and wear over time. High-quality human hair provides a softer, more natural appearance and allows your stylist to create a result that blends seamlessly with your natural hair.
At Whitney Evans Beauty, our extension specialists consider your natural hair, density, color, lifestyle, and desired result when recommending the right extension solution for you.
Our goal isn’t simply to give you longer hair. It’s to create extensions that look and feel like your hair – only elevated.
Hair Extensions Require Proper Care
Hair extensions are an investment, and how you care for them can have a significant impact on how they look and how long they last.
Your stylist will provide specific aftercare recommendations based on your hair and extension method. This may include guidance on washing, brushing, sleeping, styling, and the products you use at home.
Following your stylist’s recommendations and keeping up with scheduled maintenance appointments will help keep both your extensions and natural hair looking their best.
If you’re unsure about a product or styling technique, ask your Whitney Evans Beauty extension specialist before using it.
Your Hair Color Matters
One of the keys to natural-looking hair extensions is creating a seamless blend between your natural hair and your extensions.
That’s why color is such an important part of the process.
During your consultation, your stylist will evaluate your current hair color and determine the best extension shades and placement for your desired result.
If you’re planning a significant color change, let your stylist know before your extension installation. Coordinating your color and extensions allows us to create a more cohesive, customized result.
We don’t believe extensions should look like extensions. The goal is for people to notice your hair not where your natural hair ends and your extensions begin.
Hair Extensions Can Be Styled With Hot Tools
One of the benefits of high-quality human hair extensions is their styling versatility.
Depending on your extensions and your stylist’s recommendations, you can create curls, waves, smooth styles, and other looks using professional styling tools.
However, extensions require extra care when using heat.
Always use a professional heat protectant and follow the temperature recommendations provided by your extension specialist. Excessive heat can shorten the life of your extensions and potentially damage your natural hair.
You should also be careful around the attachment points of your extensions. Your stylist will show you how to properly style your hair while protecting both your extensions and their placement.
Maintenance Is Part of Having Hair Extensions
Getting hair extensions isn’t a one-time appointment.
As your natural hair grows, professionally installed extensions may need to be moved up, adjusted, or reinstalled depending on the method you’re wearing.
Your stylist will create a maintenance schedule based on your natural hair, extension method, lifestyle, and growth.
Keeping those appointments is an important part of maintaining a comfortable, natural-looking result and protecting the health of your natural hair.
The Right Hair Extensions Are Different for Everyone
There isn’t one extension method, length, or amount of hair that’s right for every client.
Someone looking for subtle fullness may need something completely different from someone wanting a dramatic transformation in both length and volume.
That’s why we start with a consultation.
Our extension specialists evaluate your natural hair and talk with you about your goals, lifestyle, maintenance expectations, and desired look before recommending an extension plan.
The result should feel completely customized to you.
