To be eligable for extensions you must have hair that is long enough to tie into a pony tail. It only even has to be a little one as long as all you hair (minus a fringe if you have one) can be put into it.  If your hair isn't this long then the bonds may be visible and I will not be able to fit extensions for you. If your own hair is less than 6” long it will not be possible to wear your extensions up, although you can tie them back.

Ultimately, what you start off with will greatly depend on what you end up with. If your hair is longer than 6 inches it will blend a lot better than shorter hair. If your hair is bobbed, it is advised that you have your bob line removed, as if not you will see a line even with extensions. Similarly, do not have your hair trimmed before the fitting as a natural look rather than a blunt cut will blend in a lot better with extensions.

Once a sample or colour match is taken from your hair, you must not colour or dye it until after the fitting.

The day before the fitting please wash your hair thoroughly, it has to be very clean with no residue from natural oils or styling products but do not condition it. It is very important that you do not use conditioner before the fitting, as this could cause the bonds to fail. Conditioner coats the hair in a silky substance which is what the bonds will stick to and not your natural hair, so  by using conditioner you will find that the extension  will simple slide out much sooner than it should.

When finished, the extensions will be razored  and if required feathered to blend them into your natural hair. Extensions cannot be cut like your own hair and because of this you cannot have as many layers as your would your natural hair because you will lose thickness at the bottom of the extensions. At Hot Hedz  we are fully trained and qualified hair extensionist and can cut  the extensions for you should they be too long.

Remember, you have to be prepared to put in the time and effort into looking after you extensions. If you have not got time for your own hair now then you will certainly not have time to look after the extensions properly. Extensions are high maintenance and require a lot of care to keep them looking nice.
