Texture-selecting Fitting it

COLOUR01 MATCHING

One of the biggest concerns for new users of hair extenions is how to find a colour identical to their own. Get online colour guide to achieve foolproof colourmatching for your extensions.

LENGTHCHOOSING 02 When it comes to length, it is always wise to consider your body shape and height in addition to your current haircut.

Extremely long hair can look great on taller frames, and extensions can be purchased up to 55cm (that’s a huge 22 inches), giving instant waist-length hair that can be styled to no end. Longer extensions are also perfect for wearing out that pixie crop or bob, too – your new look will be unrecognisable.

TEXTURESELECTING 03 Face shape is everything when choosing the right texture for your hair. For a heart-shaped face, straight and sleek hair which can be easily up-styled accentuates a distinctive jawline.

There is an array of choices on the market, from ready-towear Straight options or for more room to style and a more natural feel, opt for Relaxed Straight.

Waves and curls can offer instant glamour and a softer look for those previously donning a hard-edged, sculpted cut. They can compliment a round or square face shape and elongate shorter bodies, too. Choose French Body Wave or Deep Curl, adding permanent waves and big volume where you want it.

FITTING IT

Finally, choosing the right application system for your scalp and hair is vital, which will also determine how long your extensions will last.

For the longest lasting extensions, resin-based application is key.

Supreme Pre-Bonded Extensions Systems allow extensions to be re-applied, and protect the scalp with shields to reduce risk of contact with hot resin.

For sensitive or damaged hair, it may be best to avoid any bonding resin-based application systems. However, if the look you’re going for is wavy, sewn-in extensions may be the best option.

Choose the Premium-Sealed Flat Weft Sewing Extension System for the ultimate long-lasting, natural-looking waves.
