Add Instant, Jaw-Dropping Volume and Length with Extensions
There are two everyday things plenty of women struggle with: one, “my hair’s too thin,” and two, “my hair’s too short.” If you fall under the category of a woman dreaming of longer and thicker locks, you’re certainly not alone. I always want longer hair when I cut it shorter, but I’ve never personally struggled with thin hair as my own hair is extremely thick.
This doesn’t mean you have to stand by and settle with what you’ve got, though. I have always done this, just waited to grow it out etc., but you honestly don’t have to. There’s a wealth of ways you can achieve longer and thicker hair – i.e., hair volumising products, scalp massages, and a balanced diet – however none provide the quick (and stunning) results of extensions.
Whether you’re looking for a quick fix or dream of having long, luscious locks for a lifetime, human hair extensions are an excellent option – and this article highlights why. I’ve seen so many friends, other bloggers, celebrities etc. getting hair extensions all the time, and it really does make a huge difference. Have you seen how much it impacts Jennifer Lopez’s hair?
Why Choose Hair Extensions for Volume and Length?
With so many options out there, why would someone choose extensions? There’s actually a long list of reasons why extensions are extremely helpful if you’re looking to change up your hair:
● Immediate Results: Extensions allow you to wake up, apply and style, and walk out the door looking and feeling like a brand-new woman. There’s no “waiting period” or “second-guessing” – what you see is what you get, and usually, everyone loves what they see.
● Plenty of Versatility: Some women shy away from extensions, fearing they won’t be able to sport their favourite styles. This simply isn’t true. With proper placement and some craftiness, you can wear all sorts of looks – from high ponytails to half updos, glamorous updos to long, flowy beach waves.
● No Commitment: With certain types of extensions, like clip-ins and ponytails, there’s no commitment. So, if you’re looking for a single night of bombshell-esque hair, you can do that. On the other hand, if you need a six-month-long vacation to long and thick locks, you can do that, too.
● Boost in Confidence: If thin or short locks make you feel down, hair extensions can be the ultimate solution. Just imagine the feeling of looking in the mirror after a few short minutes of styling and enjoying the longest and thickest locks of your life! Talk about a confidence boost.
Clip-ins: The Benefits of These Versatile and Natural-Looking Extensions
If you’re looking for a quick and easy gateway to the volumised, lengthy hair of your dreams, look no further than clip-in hair extensions. As the name suggests, these hair pieces are clipped into your natural tresses, offering a natural-looking, downright beautiful finish. Just make sure you get some really good, high quality ones that don’t look cheap.
Lots of Options
When it comes to clip-in hair extensions, there’s a plethora of options awaiting you. So, whether you want to add an inch or seven inches, you can do it with clip-in hair extensions. Clip-ins also come with several pieces, so you can decide how much volume you want to add to your aesthetic.
Easy to Install and Remove
Although clip-in hair extensions must be removed each night and reinstalled every morning, don’t worry – it’s a simple process, and the more you do it, the quicker you’ll become.
Installation is as easy as one, two, three:
1. Section your hair one section at a time. It’s best to start at the nape of the neck and work your way up.
2. Apply the extensions in the areas you want them. Keep in mind that certain pieces are designed for certain sections of hair. For instance, the larger, four-clip pieces should go at the back of your head, while the one-clip pieces should go on the sides toward your face.
3. Conceal and style. If necessary, make adjustments to conceal your clips adequately. Then, style as you please. Human hair extensions allow you the ability to enjoy curling, straightening, etc.
At the end of the day, it’s just as simple. Unsnap the clips and remove them from your hair (gently). Wake up and do it all over again – or don’t. It’s up to you!
Natural-Looking Appearance
Nobody wants to step outside with a hairpiece that can be seen from a mile away. Luckily, clip-in hair extensions are designed to look 100% natural – as long as you choose the right products and apply them correctly. Here are some tips for ensuring a lovely, all-natural finish:
● Match your hair colour. Don’t worry if it’s not a perfect match; you can always dye human hair extensions for a perfect fit. Remember, though, that it’s much easier to dye than attempt to bleach extensions, so go a shade lighter and go from there.
● Match your hair texture, too. Clip-ins come in various textures. Again, this can be adjusted to suit your needs, but starting as close as possible to your natural tresses is always best.
● Place them strategically. Avoid installing clip-ins where they may be clearly visible. If you struggle to hide them, try teasing your hair before installing them. This will give your natural locks a quick boost, better conceal the clips, and provide a more secure grip for the clips.
● Consider seamless clip-in hair extensions. Unlike the thicker versions crafted with fabric and bulky clips, these are designed with thin, flexible silicone or polyurethane that is more slender, thinner, and seamless—hence the name.
● Go for high-quality extensions. The better the quality, the more realistic they will appear. It’s as simple as that.
Budget-Friendly Option
While a good pair of extensions aren’t “cheap,” they’re still cheaper than other extension options on the market. This is due to three big reasons: you don’t need professional installation, there are no “move up” appointments required, and they’re typically easier to maintain and longer-lasting, saving you money long-term.
Ponytail: The Benefits of This Extension That Offers Quick Glam in Minutes
Even if you’re OK with how your hair looks when it’s down, plenty of women struggle with their ponytail. For some reason, pulling the hair back into a ponytail can accentuate thinness, and if your hair isn’t long enough, you might not be able to enjoy a ponytail at all.
Well, ladies, if you’re tired of your boring, lifeless ponytail and you’re looking for something with some pizazz, I have the solution: a ponytail hair extension.
Length and Texture Options
Like clip-in hair extensions, ponytail extensions come in various lengths and textures to give you that Instagram-worthy aesthetic. With lengths ranging from 20, 22, 24, and beyond, you can finally give the iconic Ariana Grande slicked-back high ponytail a try – and love every second of it.
As far as textures go, there are lots of choices on the market. Unlike clip-ins, these don’t have to match your natural tresses (unless you want to). With all kinds of wave and curl patterns, even straight-haired queens can enjoy a voluptuous pony loaded with sexy texture without any work. Win!
A Breeze to Install
When it comes to ponytail hair extensions, there are several different installation methods on the market. The most common, though, is a small clip-in comb and a wrap-around strand of hair to conceal and secure. All you need to do is:
● Put your natural hair into a ponytail. The first step is to toss your natural tresses into a ponytail at the desired height. Think about the final look you’re trying to achieve – do you want a jaw-dropping high ponytail, a modern and stylish low pony, or a sporty mid-pony?
● Attach the ponytail extensions. From there, you can attach the ponytail extensions using the included method. Most have a small clip, which you’ll install to the base of your ponytail before wrapping the strand of hair around for added security and concealing.
● Blend and style. From there, you can blend and style however you see fit. Add romantic ringlets, soft waves, or straighten for a polished aesthetic.
Oh, and by the way – if you’re struggling to keep your ponytail secure, don’t panic. My top three tips are to ensure you secure your natural hair with a secure hair tie, use hairspray to keep your unit in place, and use bobby pins to secure loose areas.
Low-Maintenance
When it comes to extensions, ponytail extensions may be the most low-maintenance of them all – which is good news for those who don’t want to hassle with seemingly endless maintenance procedures.
The most important thing to remember with ponytail extensions is that they need to be hung up while not in use. This will deter tangles, knots, and other mishaps along the way. You should also apply a good conditioner so the ends don’t dry out, allowing you to enjoy that picture-perfect finish for several months, if not years.
Unlock Stunning Volume and Length Instantly with Extensions
If you want instant volume and length to brag about, clip-in and ponytail extensions are an excellent idea. Both selections are incredibly easy to install, yet they look as if you’ve spent hours in the salon chair. They offer a natural-looking finish that’s 100% stylable – especially if you opt for 100% human hair extensions. Enjoy your new, fabulous look with clip-ins or ponytail extensions today!
