three types of hair extensions.

Seeing beauty in your imperfections is easier to say and harder to implement. The conventional standards of beauty have become a noose around the neck for those who dare to disagree. This has made life harder for people with age-related hair loss or a severe scalp condition, causing glaring bald spots to appear.

That said, it’s not the end of the world because there are ways to manage hair loss with salon services. We’re a hair salon in Atlanta and we have a way to save you from public disfavor. Our sew-in hair installations and full-lace closures have helped find a way to love themselves again. But managing hair extensions isn’t easy for newbies. If you’re looking for ways to style your hair extensions, you’ve hit jackpot because this blog is all about that.

Shaking and Clipping Roots

The hardest part of dealing with thin hair is the flat crown. The extensions may add length and volume to your hair, but you still need to style your hair to give it that fluffy look from the top. A healthy crown is vital for a fuller look and that’s why shaking and clipping the roots is important.  

When your hair is wet, it’s a very crucial time. Textured hair dries into the style you set when it’s soaking wet. So pluck a bunch of your hair from the top in different places and clip it. Make sure the clip is close to the roots so that the wet hair isn’t touching the scalp. This not only allows your hair to dry faster but also airs out the roots to prevent that flat look.

Formal Up-dos

Do you miss the time when you used to be able to wrap your hair in a top knot and be ready for a formal night in under 5 minutes? That’s a luxury only people with thick hair can afford. But no worries, because hair extensions will make that possible for you again. This is an extra-special styling tip for hair with extensions because you can give yourself a nice up-do without entangling your extensions and breaking them while combing.

Now since the extensions also add extra weight to your scalp, you may feel pain or headaches sometimes. Your scalp is not used to handling voluminous hair. That’s why a pineapple bun is a great styling method because it lifts the lengths and rests them atop your head so your roots aren’t being pulled.

Let it Down with Middle Part

One of the fondest ways to style your new thick and long hair is to let them down and let the glorious shine bedazzle everyone. Our best-selling traditional middle-part extensions are the best way to clean up formally without doing much to your hair. Let your beautiful silky lengths fall elegantly on both sides of your face.

This looks both casual and chic for all events. Do your makeup as usual and wear your favorite dress and you’re all set for the night!

All you need to do now is book an appointment at our hair salon in Atlanta. Our stylists will give you a hair makeover that’ll make you fall in love with yourself again.
