It is advised you have a lot of hair extensions, so much that it matches your natural hair density. What this implies is, if your hair is the thick type, then it would take the application of plenty extensions to go with your type of hair. And if your hair is the thin type, you would require less hair extensions. Furthermore, is your hair the short type? If yes, then you will also need a lot of hair extensions. What always gives away someone who’s wearing hair extensions is when they don’t install the right amount of hair extension depending on their type of hair. This is an important factor when it comes to making your hair extension look natural.
2 – Always apply the suitable type of extension for your hair

If your hair is very fine and thin, it is best you avoid using the conventional clip extensions, they are not suitable for thin hair. Clip in extensions are usually too weighty and will pull your natural hair, and that wouldn’t look nice. If you happen to be the type that uses hair extensions occasionally, then the Hottie Hair invisible clip is the best choice for you and your hair. But if with your thin hair, you prefer the semi-permanent hair extensions, using something like tapes ins will be the perfect choice.

The interesting part of using hair extensions is you can go with up to 2 or 3 shades lighter or darker than your hair’s natural color and still get the extension to blend perfectly and look natural. But this may not be applicable in some case as some people have very unique hair color or could be making the hair extension purchase online and you will by all means need to get the right color for your hair. Hair extensions are not being matched to your hair roots but the ends and most people will need to use 1-3 colors to get the perfect blend of colors. Once the hair colors don’t match, that automatically shows people that you are using extensions. If you are buying the extension online, one way to get a perfect color match for what you are buying is by getting a free color match before paying for extension. Hottie Hair does color matching for thousands of hair colors daily so we ensure that there is a matching hair color for everyone. Having the right color(s) is crucial when it comes to using hair extensions. For instance, we advise you go for the lightest shade of blonde #60 and change the color to match with your natural hair. For those with unique hair color, this is one of the best ways to make your hair extensions look real. Changing the color of your hair extensions is very simple, just ensure that the shampoo you use is color safe.
4 – Have a variety of hair extension lengths at your disposal

People with thin shoulder length hair don’t need to do as much to make wearing hair extensions look real. All it takes is one length, and a little bit of hair and boom!!! Hair is enhanced, looking all beautiful and natural. But for those who have layers or long hair, you will need to make use of two different hair lengths. The longer hair extension is there to give your hair the lengthy look while the short hair extension job is to blend with your layers. This approach will definitely make your hair extension look natural.
