Choosing Hair Extensions: A Simple Guide to Your Next Look

Want to add length, volume or a fresh look? Choosing hair extensions starts with knowing what you want from your hair and how you like to style it.

Start with your hair goals

Think about whether you want extra fullness, longer lengths or a style for a special occasion. Your natural hair length, texture and everyday routine can help guide your choice.

Compare your options

Clip-in extensions can be an option for a temporary change. If you are considering salon-fitted extensions, speak with a stylist about the method, maintenance and suitability for your natural hair. A ponytail piece or wig can offer another way to change your look.

Choose a natural-looking blend

Consider colour, texture and length together. Compare shades in natural light where possible, and ask for help if you are unsure which shade will blend with your hair.

Plan for care and maintenance

Care needs vary by product and material. Follow the instructions supplied with your extensions or wig, including guidance on washing, brushing, storage and heat styling. Ask your stylist about ongoing appointments before choosing a salon-fitted method.
