Human Hair extensions are a popular choice for those looking to enhance their natural hair or experiment with different styles. However, What we concern is how blend hair extensions seamlessly with our own hair. In this article, we will explore some tips on how to blend hair extensions naturally for a flawless look.
Why can’t my hair extensions blend in?
1.Hair extensions color does not match your natural hair
Matching your hair color with the extensions is crucial for a seamless blend. When we install hair extensions at the salon, our stylists mix colors to blend the extensions with your natural hair color, ensuring a perfect match.
If you’ve purchased the wrong color , you can contact us and send us your hair color in natural light (no beauty filters) and we will help you color match it in the color of our current color.
Please note that when matching colors, the mid-length and end colors of the extensions should match the natural hair, as this is where the extensions are displayed.
2.The hair extensions are the wrong weight or texture.
The weight and thickness of the hair extension are another key factor to consider when striving for a perfect blend. In order for the hair extension to seamlessly blend into natural hair, even people with thick hair need to use thick hair extensions, otherwise there may be gaps that show the hair extension, making it look unnatural.Typically, we recommend purchasing 150-200 grams, which can be used for a full head of extensions. If you want to add length and volume, we recommend purchasing 250-300 grams.
If your hair is thin, you need to consider the weight of the hair extension and the accessories on it. Therefore, clip-in hair extensions and wire hair extensions may not be suitable for people with thin hair. Not only will they show traces of the hair extension, but also the heavy weight of the extensions can damage the natural hair over time, affecting hair health. For people with fine hair texture and thin hair, we recommend seamless injection tape ins and Nano tip hair extensions, as they are more invisible and blend perfectly with natural hair.
3.The length of the hair extension is not suitable.
For shorter hair, we recommend using tape-in hair extensions or nano bond hair extensions, which can be trimmed to blend perfectly with your natural hair. Other types of hair extensions may be visible and fail to achieve a seamless blend. If your hair is longer, we suggest purchasing clip-ins to add volume to the ends, which will create a more natural look.
You can also refer to our length guide to choose the appropriate hair extension length for you. Of course, contacting us for consultation before making a purchase will provide you with better assistance.
How to blend hair extensions more naturally with natural hair?
1.Styling Blends Natural Hair and Extensions Seamlessly
Divide the hair from the nape of the neck to the front of the ears into several sections and comb through the hair from front to back. After installing the hair extensions, comb the natural hair together with the extensions to blend them. Let down the top and front layers of hair for styling. Spray heat protectant spray onto the hair and use a straightener to straighten the hair, ensuring a perfect fusion.
You can achieve better results by trimming layers. Let an experienced hairstylist trim the ends of the extensions and add layers to achieve a seamless blend between the natural hair and the extensions, creating a flawless and natural appearance.
Alternatively, you can opt for a curly hairstyle, and a curling iron or Curling Headband would be great choices. Take a section of your own hair and a section of the extension hair together and curl them, as this helps to conceal any differences between the natural hair and the extensions, resulting in a more natural look where it’s difficult to distinguish between the two.
2.Blending with Pre-bonded Hair Extensions
If you desire long-lasting hair extensions, they would be a great choice. Each strand of hair weighs approximately 0.8-1g, making it lightweight and comfortable to wear. The keratin glue at the top of the hair blends seamlessly with the hair color, and once heat fused, it appears even more natural and discreet, hardly noticeable.Therefore, when using Pre-bonded Hair Extensions, it is important to ensure that the keratin glue at the top matches the hair color.
3. Blending with Weft Hair Extensions
Weft hair extensions are gentler on natural hair and have minimal impact. They can be installed through sewing, glueing, using clips, or micro rings. Virgin genius hair wefts can also be adjusted in length through cutting, allowing for a flexible and thickening effect. One technique for a more natural installation is to stack the wefts together, creating both volume and a natural, layered look.
4. Blending with Right Location
Whether it’s clip-ins, tape-ins, or micro loop hair extensions, if placed incorrectly, they can appear unnatural and the attachments can be easily visible. Therefore, it’s important to be mindful of the danger zones on our heads, typically around the entire hairline, the sides of parting, and the space 1.5 inches behind the crown area. These areas should be avoided when installing the extensions. When wearing clip-ins, it’s recommended to evenly distribute larger pieces throughout the back of the head to avoid concentration in one area, which can make them more noticeable.
