But regardless of your brand preference, we're outlining crucial tips to make the right purchase decisions and styling choices for your next foray into faux hair. Keep these three tips in mind for your next install and you'll be golden!
1. Shop The Real Deal
Stick to quality, real hair extensions as they look the most natural, allow for heat styling, will last the longest and will not itch your scalp. When trying to match your natural color opt to (a) have a professional help source the right colored extensions for you, (b) take your extensions to the salon for a custom colored blend, or (3) match the extensions yourself.
Remember, extensions don’t have to match perfectly; they will blend. We suggest going a touch darker than your natural hair or getting a tonal shade to aid in blending the extension to your natural color.
2. Prep + Apply
-
Brush out your extensions, then curl them if necessary
Brush out your extensions using a wide tooth comb or brush. Hold your extensions tightly from the clip end in your left hand, and gently curl small sections with a large or medium curling iron to match your natural hair. Leave extensions straight or use a straightener if your hair is straight. At Bohyme, we specialize in selling textured and pre-styled extensions to match your natural hair or styling preferences. If you desire to add additional curl to your extension, curl the extension while it’s snapped on your head to help with the curling process if desired.
-
Once each extension panel is curled, lay them on a flat surface
This will force the curl to set and cool. We recommend avoiding hairspray if possible to add to the wear of your extensions as hairspray is often not needed with extensions (we actually consider this a styling bonus). If opting for hairspray, use a light holding one if possible.
-
Apply the largest extension panel
Make a horizontal part across the back of your head from mid-ear to the opposite mid-ear, then clip the rest of your hair up and out of the way. With the clip teeth facing inwards, snap the far right clip right behind your ear, just below the part. Move over to the middle clip and repeat until you reach the far left.
-
Apply the second largest extension panel
Begin by letting your hair down and making another horizontal part. Follow the same right to left pattern as the previous step until you have the section centered along your head.
-
Arrange and clip the remaining smaller extensions
Put one in the back (behind the end of your part) and one on each side of your head. Note, you may need two pieces underneath a deep part.
-
Smooth and blend with a brush
After all extensions are clipped in, brush out the ends to blend your real hair with the extensions. Style as needed.
3. Maintenance + Storage
Freshen your extensions by brushing them or washing them as needed. Use a sulfate-free shampoo or our Bohyme® extension shampoo & conditioner, Remi® Revitalize. Lay extensions on a super-absorbent microfiber towel to soak up moisture. Store extensions by laying them flat horizontally.
