2. WHAT ARE THE BEST HAIR EXTENSIONS FOR ME?
The best hair extensions are those that blend in well with your hair and also that fit your lifestyle. For example, if you shower often, dance, work out, swim, or play sports on a regular basis - perhaps it is best to consider temporary methods of hair extensions such as clip-in hair extensions. because they can easily be taken out for the duration of those activities and clipped back in when needed.

3. HOW MUCH DO HAIR EXTENSIONS COST?
You can expect to pay anywhere from $60-$85 for synthetic hair extensions, and anywhere from $100-$500 or more for human hair extensions. We highly recommend purchasing real Remy human hair extensions as they are much higher quality than synthetic hair extensions as you will be able to style and wash them just like your own hair. WIGMFG Hair Remy human hair extensions range from $86-$149, depending on the quantity that you choose (100g per piece, normally need 2-3 sets for a full head). Ombre hair extensions range from $199-$249.

4. HOW LONG DO HAIR EXTENSIONS LAST?
The lifespan of clip-in hair extensions will depend on how well you take care of them, what products you use on them, and how often you wear them. With proper care and regular wear, WIGMFG Hair extensions last anywhere from 3-6 months up to a year or even longer. For the best tips and tricks on how to care for your hair extensions, check out this blog post.

5. DO HAIR EXTENSIONS DAMAGE YOUR HAIR?
The type and application methods matter when it comes to hair extensions. Some more permanent hair extensions can cause damage due to the bonding, gluing, and pulling on the hair. Clip-in hair extensions are the least damaging option as they are simply clipped into your hair like any regular hair clip. Additionally, since you are not sleeping with the extensions in or wearing them non-stop for a long period of time, this reduces the amount of pulling and stress on your hair, which results in healthier hair. Clip-in hair extensions cause absolutely no damage to your hair.

6. HOW DO I CLIP IN HAIR EXTENSIONS?
With a little bit of practice, clipping in hair extensions is very fast and easy! Simply snap the clips open and clip them close to the roots of your hair. They will stay securely in your hair without showing. We have multiple step-by-step tutorials on how to clip in hair extensions for different hair types on our blog.

7. HOW TO WASH AND DRY HAIR EXTENSIONS?
Since hair extensions do not receive natural oils from the scalp like our own hair, they do not need to be washed very often. We suggest only washing your extensions every 15-20 years or when there is too much product build-up and they become unmanageable to style. Please keep in mind that the less you wash your clip in hair extensions, the longer they will last you.

We highly recommend using sulfate-free and alcohol-free hair products, as these ingredients can dry the hair out, leading to frizzy, tangly hair.

You can wash your clip-on Hair extensions the same way you would your own hair, in a sink filled with water. Apply shampoo first, rinse off, then apply a generous amount of conditioner from top to bottom, working the product through the hair. Rinse off the conditioned, then rinse the extensions again in cold water to lock in moisture. Next, apply a deep conditioning hair mask throughout the extensions, to restore smoothness, nourishment, and shine. Use hair masks. Brush each weft with a wide-tooth comb from bottom to top to work the hair mask through the hair and remove any tangles. Leave the hair mask in for at least 4-6 hours or overnight for best results! Finally, lay each weft flat to air-dry on top of a towel on a flat surface. 

8. HOW TO BRUSH HAIR EXTENSIONS?
Just like your natural hair, hair extensions can and may tangle, as all long hair does. We recommend brushing your extensions before and after use, as well as throughout the day with a paddle brush or detangling hairbrush.

When brushing your extensions, we recommend to brush the hair from bottom to top to gently loosen and smoothen any tangles in the hair. For tips on how to avoid tangling with both your hair and extensions, click here.

In order to keep your extensions in the best shape possible, we recommend watching this video about care tips for your hair extensions.

9. CAN I DYE/COLOR MY HAIR EXTENSIONS?
Yes! Since WIGMFG Hair extensions are made of 100% Remy human hair, they can be dyed a darker color or toned by a professional hair colorist, who has had previous experience in working with hair extensions. If you are a hair expert and would like to tone your extensions yourself, please view this video for detailed instructions. Of course, if you are ever unsure, we do recommend that you have a professional help you out.

We strongly do not recommend getting hair extensions colored a lighter shade, as it will require them to be bleached. Bleaching is a harmful chemical process that can alter the quality of your set, and even damage it.

If you are in-between shades, we recommend going for the lighter color and taking your set to a professional hair colorist to have them dye your set a darker shade in order to achieve an overall match. Similarly, if you have highlights, we recommend going for a shade that matches the lightest highlight in your hair and having a professional hair colorist add in lowlights to your set.

If you do decide to get your Luxies dyed, we recommend for a one clip weft to be tested first prior to dyeing or toning the full set, to ensure that you are satisfied with the results.

10. CAN I SLEEP WITH HAIR EXTENSIONS?
We do not recommend sleeping with your hair, as they can get tangled during sleep, causing damage to the extensions as well as your natural hair. Since they only take a few minutes to clip in, and seconds to remove, please do this daily to maintain the integrity of the hair.

11. CAN I SWIM WITH HAIR EXTENSIONS?
No, we do not recommend swimming with your extensions clipped in or getting them wet (except when washing them). Chlorine from swimming pools, salt from ocean water, and dirt in all bodies of water can be damaging to your hair extensions. Also, swimming with your extensions clipped in may lead to the extensions tangling with your natural hair, which can be damaging.

If you would like to wear your extensions in the water, make sure to tie your hair up to avoid getting them wet.

12. CAN I PLAY SPORTS WITH HAIR EXTENSIONS?
We recommend avoiding doing any physical activity that could lead to excessive sweat when you are wearing hair extensions. Remember, your sweat is salty, acidic and can dry out your hair extensions so this could lead to additional matting and tangling, causing your hair extensions to deteriorate faster. To increase the lifespan of your extensions, try to minimize their exposure to sweat. Instead, be sure to un-clip them before heading to the gym!

14. WHAT IS REMY HUMAN HAIR?
Remy's hair is considered to be the finest quality of human hair because the cuticles are kept intact and not stripped, like in most other non-Remy hair extensions. Preserving the hairs’ cuticles and aligning them in a unidirectional fashion creates extensions that are completely natural in appearance. This process ensures that the hair remains super soft, shiny, silky, and completely tangle-free throughout its lifetime.

Clip-in WIGMFG Hair extensions use only the finest quality of Remy human hair, which means that the hair has been carefully sorted after collecting from the hair donor to ensure all the cuticles are intact. It is by far the best quality of clip-in human hair extensions on the market because of the care that is required and the time it takes to sort the hair so meticulously.

What is the difference between synthetic and human hair extensions?

You can expect to pay anywhere from $60-$85 USD for synthetic hair extensions, and anywhere from $100-$500 USD for human hair extensions.

Hair extensions made from human hair can be dyed a darker colour, styled with hot tools (curled or straightened), washed, and treated just like you would your own natural hair. You can basically make your hair goals come true.

On the other hand, hair extensions made from synthetic hair are sensitive to the sun, are difficult to style and blend with your own hair, and typically don't have the same lifespan as human hair extensions. Human hair extensions can last up to a year or longer if they are properly cared for.

15. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HAIR EXTENSIONS?
Micro link/Micro bead/Micro-ring/Loop Hair Extensions

This type of hair extensions is applied by looping the single-strand micro-bead extensions through your own hair and clamping down with a pair of pliers and a metal bead to finish. So pretty much, your entire head is covered in these little beads. You need to go to a professional for the application of micro-bead hair extensions.

Sewn-in/Weave Hair Extensions

Sewn-in hair extensions are only a good fit for those who have super thick, coarse, or naturally super curly hair. Your own hair is braided tightly into corn rows throughout your entire head, and the extensions are then attached using a needle and a thread. A pro about these hair extensions is that they work super well for girls who have tons of hair that is thick and a coarse, however, a con is that the tight braids seriously strain your scalp, therefore they are not advisable for those who have thin hair. Also consider hygienic reasons - it may be difficult to wash off the sweat and dirt in the scalp because the entire scalp is covered in cornrows. You need to go to a professional for the application of sewn-in hair extensions as well as consistently visit the salon (even six weeks or so) to ensure that the extensions are still sewn in correctly into place and if the braids need to be tightened up again.

Clip-in Hair Extensions

Clip-in hair extensions is the fastest, easiest, and least damaging type of hair extensions which you can apply all by yourself without having to go to a professional. Clip-in hair extensions are a temporary method of hair extensions, which means you can clip them in and out whenever you want. Clip-in hair extensions are ideal if you are looking to add length and volume to your hair without the commitment or breaking the bank. Clip-in hair extensions are a popular choice among women all over the world for bridal and bridesmaids’ hairstyles as they can greatly enhance any hairstyle. You need to take off your clip-in hair extensions when you shower, sleep, or swim, however, clipping them in takes only about 5 minutes. Always choose real remy human hair extensions as you will be able to heat style and wash them just like your own hair. High quality clip-in hair extensions will last you anywhere from 3-6 months up to a year or even longer, depending on how often you wear them and how well you take care of them. WIGMFG Hair extensions are all high quality 100% real remy human clip-in hair extensions.

Tape-in Hair Extensions

Tape in method of hair extensions involves taking each weft and literally taping them onto your own hair. The wefts are connected by wide bonds of tape and your own hair is placed between them and clamped around the strands. Pros to this method of hair extensions is if you wear your hair extensions without a break, these can last in your hair for 6-12 weeks. Some cons to tape in hair extensions are that it can be difficult to tie your hair up how you want it since you can’t reposition the wefts after they are applied, and they can also begin tangling with your own hair as it starts growing out. You need to go to a professional for the application of tape in hair extensions.

Glue-in/Keratin Bond/Pre-bonded Hair Extensions

These hair extensions are attached to the hair with keratin bonds that are on top of the extensions, which are fused with a hot tool. This technique requires heat for application, and consistent visits to the salon to maintain them. They can look great, however, it is best to voice using oils, conditioners or any hot styling tools because this can weaken the bonds and make the extensions come out.

-----

Regardless of which type of hair extensions you choose, overall, be sure to have a few consultations with hair extensions technicians to understand the full scope of getting permanent hair extensions and if they are right for your hair type. Always be sure to check how they look both dry and wet, to understand how the hair will react on a daily basis. Always make sure that the extensions aren’t applied too tightly to your scalp as that can cause stress to your scalp and damage to your hair. If you choose clip-in hair extensions, you won’t have to worry about having a professional apply the hair extensions, as you can do it all by yourself at home - without any damage.
