to Know
WHAT ARE CLIP-IN HAIR EXTENSIONS?
Clip-in hair extensions are the easiest way to get long, thick hair quickly. These extensions come with the clips already attached to them which means that you can easily clip them into your hair with professional help. Clip-in hair extensions are the perfect solution for those who are looking to get thicker hair and longer hair instantly, without the hassle, long-term commitment, or breaking the bank.
WHAT ARE THE BEST HAIR EXTENSIONS FOR ME?
The best hair extensions are those that blend in well with your hair. They should also match your lifestyle. This means, if you shower often, or sweat on a regular basis– it might be smart to consider temporary methods of hair extensions such as clip-in hair extensions because they can be taken out easily. Not only will this ensure proper hygiene and make your hair extensions last longer, but they will also be less damaging for your own hair.
HOW LONG DO HAIR EXTENSIONS LAST?
The lifespan of clip-in hair extensions will depend on how well you take care of them. Factors of hair extension health include the products you use on them and how often you wear them. With proper care and regular wear, Linnet Conde extensions last anywhere from 3-6 months up to a year or even longer.
DO HAIR EXTENSIONS DAMAGE YOUR HAIR?
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. Linnet Conde hair extensions are the least damaging option. Clip-in hair extensions cause absolutely no damage to your hair.
IF I HAVE CURLY HAIR CAN I STILL WEAR CLIP IN HAIR EXTENSIONS?
Yes! Even if you have curly hair, you can still wear hair extensions. Linnet Conde extensions are made of 100% virgin human hair and will come straight. In order to achieve an ideal blend, we recommend having your hair straightened or relaxed in order to match the texture of the extensions. They can also be styled to curls or waves using hot tools. You can also experiment with different curl patterns without having to buy an array of curling wands.
HOW LONG DOES MY HAIR HAVE TO BE TO WEAR HAIR EXTENSIONS?
We recommend for your hair to be at least 6-7 inches (this is around shoulder length) in order for clip-in hair extensions to blend naturally. If your hair is any shorter, you may experience some trouble with hiding the knots and ties connecting the extensions to your hair.
WHEN CAN I WEAR HAIR EXTENSIONS?
Clip-in hair extensions are an extremely easy way to achieve long, full, thick hair in minutes. They can be worn every day to add length to your daily look or to add volume for special occasions. You can wear a full set, or just a few strategically placed by a stylist, depending on your hairstyle you’re looking to achieve!
CAN I CURL AND STRAIGHTEN HAIR EXTENSIONS?
Yes! Hair extensions that are made with 100% virgin human hair can be curled, straightened, blow-dried, and styled, just like your own natural hair. In order to preserve and extend the lifespan of your Linnet Conde extensions, however, we suggest to always use a heat protectant spray or natural heat protectant prior to styling your set. Additionally, we recommend to only use a low heat setting of 250F, as anything higher runs the risk of damaging the hair.
WHAT PRODUCTS CAN I USE ON HAIR EXTENSIONS?
Since hair extensions do not get consistent nourishment and natural oils from the scalp like our natural hair, it is important to choose the right products to keep your extensions looking and feeling luxurious. When selecting products for your hair extensions, we recommend using organic hair products whenever possible. If you are unable to get fully organic hair products, we recommend to at least choose alcohol-free and sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, as these ingredients can dry the hair out, leading to frizziness, matting, or tangling. All in all, using high-quality products that are specifically formulated for dry and damaged hair will help keep the strands healthy and nourished
HOW DO I WASH AND DRY HAIR EXTENSIONS?
We suggest only washing your Linnet Conde extensions every 15-20 wears or when there is too much product build-up and they become unmanageable to style. Keep in mind that the less you wash your Linnet Conde extensions, the longer they will last you. You can wash your 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. Follow instructions as needed for the conditioning mask.
HOW TO BRUSH HAIR EXTENSIONS?
Just like your natural hair, hair extensions can and will most likely tangle– just like our natural 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 brushing the hair thoroughly from bottom to top to gently loosen and smoothen any tangles in the hair. In order to keep your extensions in the best shape possible, you must treat them with the best love and care.
