What are hair extensions?
Hair extensions also called hair weaves, hair extensions are a form of real or synthetic hair that is closely attached to your scalp, adding length, thickness or color to your natural hair. Some are long-lasting, some are not; some extensions even last up to a full year before they need to be removed. Well-matched in color and texture, hair extensions mix with your hair, making it difficult to tell you’re wearing them.Good quality human hair extensions are available on online or your nearest beauty store . You can wash, condition, dry and color them just like your own hair. They also provide a great deal of styling
freedom.
Application techniques
Extensions can be braided in, glued in, woven in, or - if you need a change of look for a special event -clipped in.
Why opt for it?
If you struggle to grow your natural hair, hair extensions can not only give added length to your hair, but also extra volume.
You can try new hairstyles without getting fixed to one. In case you get bored with long hair, remove the extensions and get a new look.

Aftercare
Use a special brush available in beauty stores to ensure your extensions are not destroyed.
Before going to bed, braid your hair into one large loose braid at the back of the neck.
After waking up, undo the braid and comb through, beginning at the ends, working your way up to your roots.
Use a gentle shampoo and rinse under cold water to avoid tangles. “Preferably, go for a shampoo with a pH value no higher than pH7.
Dilute it in some warm water and sponge it into the hair. Do not massage. Rinse thoroughly and apply conditioner and comb your hair, starting with the ends. Let the extensions air-dry.
Avoid excessive usage of styling aids, such as mousse, gel, and hairspray. If possible, opt for alcohol-free products.
