Hair extensions add length and volume to your natural hair. They can either be clipped in, glued on, or sewn to natural hair, with synthetic or human hair. Whether they’re clip-ins or sew-ons, hair extensions can be washed and styled like your natural hair. Clip-ins can be put in and removed daily or whenever you feel like a hair boost, while hair extensions that are sewn or glued onto your hair typically last between six to eight weeks.  How do you prepare for hair extension? Getting in extensions done works best on clean and straightened out hair. So, when making an appointment, it’s advised that you include a wash and blowout into your booking. Washing your hair will strip it from all the excess dirt and oils. Apart from prepping your hair, make sure you’ve packed in some snacks and water before your appointment. Depending on which method you’ve booked for, you could be sitting in that chair for quite a while. How to get the best hair extensions?
