Hair Extensions Part 1 (Clip-ons)

There are types of hair extensions--whether synthetic or human hair. While most of them are likely to be just temporary or if not high maintenance, the price of a longer hair is really worth it. It enhances your face and and accentuates the body. Your beauty meter goes up to double and you'll know why if you try one of these:

 Clip-In Hair Extension

These extensions may be synthetic or human hair. I f it's synthetic, it will always become frizzy in time. after one month of heavy use. specially if you use it every day when its more exposed to air, dust, and sweat, 2 weeks is long enough for it to stay shiny. This is true to all synthetic hair extensions. ITs advantage over the human hair extension is that it's way cheaper and you can always buy a different style as often as you want. You can buy it at DIVISORIA for only 50 pesos per clip. Those quality of hair extensions frizz faster though. If you want it to last longer, you can buy the one at SM for only 800 pesos. however,it still becomes frizzy in time although for a longer time. To take care of your extentions, you can wash them with shampoo once in every two weeks for heavy use. Then iron it so it stays shiny. It is recommended that you only use it during occassions and special days if you cant afford to keep on buying every month. it's like disposable then. Once it gets too frizzy, you cant use it anymore unless you want to look funny because it becomes stiff and messy.

REMINDERS:
1.Always make sure that your original hair is of the same hue and color to your extensions so that it will blend naturally. If your using curly extensions, do your original hair with iron curler first --same with straight extensions. You should always blend them together including the texture since synthetic hair extensions are shiny or glossy, you need to iron your hair as well to smoothen rough strands.

2. Sew the clips with thread before using it then put an adhesive like clear glue or any strong adhesive to the part you sewed. This will prevent the clips from falling off from the hair.
