Hair extensions create the natural illusion that your hair is thicker, fuller, and longer than it really is. When you invest in high-quality tresses and know how to blend them into your real hair, it'll be impossible for others to notice that you're wearing extensions at all.

We've all seen someone who's hair extensions were... noticeable. There's a gap between where their real hair ends and their extensions, there's a colour difference, or it's just simply not the right texture. You don't want to be this person!

If you're interested in learning how to get your hair extensions to look natural, you've come to the right place. Here are a few tips that will help you achieve your hair goals without blowing your cover.

Pay Attention to Density

When you purchase hair extensions, you're going to want to buy enough to match your natural hair's density.



If you have thick hair, you're going to need more hair extensions than a person with thin hair. This is so that, when others look at you, they won't be able to see a clear distinction between your natural hair and the extensions. It'll help your locks look real!

Choose the Right Type of Extension for Your Hair

There are actually many different types of hair extensions for you to choose from. From traditional clip extensions that you install into your hair to tape-ins, you'll want to do a little bit of research before you decide on an extension type.

Know Your Hair Colour

Having a different shade of extension than your natural hair is a dead giveaway. Avoid this awkward look by knowing your hair's exact colour and shade, and then match it to your hair extensions.

Keep in mind that you should match your hair extensions to the end of your hair, not your roots. This will help the fake hair blend in with your natural hair, making a seamless and undetectable result.

Utilise Multiple Lengths

Hair extensions that are all one length can look choppy and fake. Instead, aim to purchase extensions that come in 2-3 different lengths as this will help it blend more naturally into your real hair.

Invest in Premium Human Hair

If you want your hair extensions to look natural and last you a long time, premium human hair is the only option! It washes well, looks natural (because it's real), and is the best way to add length and fullness to your own hair.

While human hair extensions are initially more expensive than synthetic ones, they're far worth it. You won't have to replace them as often and they'll last so much longer than cheaper extensions.
