Channel Your Inner Mermaid

There’s nothing quite like finding a little magic in your life to make you feel fantastic. It’s those unexpected bonuses that seem to float into your life and give you a lift just when you need it most. If you’re feeling a little bored with your current hairstyle, hair extensions are some of that mermaid hair magic that you can use to instantly have fuller, longer hair without the wait.

The first thing to understand is that if you want your extensions to look their best, get your stylist to do them for you. Not only will your salon have the widest selection of the highest quality extensions available, they will also have loads of training and experience to make them look their best for longer.

You can choose from a range of options when it comes to extensions, including length, texture, and color as well as how the extensions attach to your natural hair. You can opt to simply add volume, or add length as well as volume. Generally you’ll want to stick close to your hair’s own natural texture, but you can choose to use extensions to add depth to your color, or streaks of bright colors, without resorting to chemical processing.

Caring for your new extensions will be really very similar to the TLC you already give your own hair. Use a gentle shampoo – your stylist will have some recommendations – and let your hair air dry when possible. As with your natural hair, the fewer chemicals and heat styling techniques you use, the happier they will be. Use a wide toothed comb after shampooing to avoid breaking both your own hair as well as your extensions. If you have long hair, you may want to loosely braid it before bed to avoid tangles. You can also be very indulgent and invest in a silk pillowcase. Now that’s really magical!
