RULE 1: CONSIDER YOUR LIFESTYLE
If you are a busy working, studying, parent or constantly works out, consider hair extensions that are more semi-permanent like tape in hair extensions, i-tip hair extensions, micro-link hair extensions, keratin hair extensions, braids, ponytail hair extensions. Also consider the quality of these hair extensions. Semi-permanent hair extensions like i tip hair extensions are hair extensions that are easy to style, easy to maintain and last up-to 8 weeks. Semi-permanent hair extensions are invisible thanks to the keratin adhesive that binds them with sound keratin allowing them to last longer but also cause no damage to your natural hair

Hair extensions should perfectly match your natural hair color or buy hair extensions that add color highlights or balayage color to your natural color. If the colors are off, it will be easy to get the hair extensions spotted on your head.

Allow your hair extensions to air dry before using heat styling tools. In addition, do not go to bed when your i-tip hair extensions or tape-ons are wet.
