Tight hairstyles can cause traction alopecia, which is a form of hair loss caused by repeated pulling on the hair, and it can be permanent. If the hairstyle hurts or feels too tight, ask your stylist to loosen the affected area. Keep your hairstyle clean. Wash your hair as often as needed for your hair type.
If you are wearing clip-in extensions, remove them before washing your natural hair. Use a gentle, moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to keep your scalp clean and hydrated. Protect your edges.

Avoid using heated styling tools as much as possible. Switch up your hairstyle.

It's hard to fully articulate the reasoning behind it, but I've relied on my cool-tone blonde hair to present a lot of who I am to the world. I wanted passersby to notice my blithe hair flip. I coveted the adulation of my friends, playing it off like my curls were effortless and uncomplicated.
They were my version of a security blanket—if my hair looked good, nothing else mattered. It began innocently during my early teenage years, when I was voted "Best Hair" three years in a row. It might not sound like a big deal, but to a year-old with a burgeoning beauty fascination, it mattered.
Humblebrags aside, it was then that my cut and style began playing a massive role in my confidence level. It only makes sense: When you look good, it's easier to feel good, particularly in a culture that places so much emphasis on conventional beauty standards. So when the damage from ironing my curls into stick-straight pieces—as well as regular touch-ups on my flaxen highlights—caught up with me, I had to chop all of my hair off.
Well, not all of it. But the inches added up just enough to throw my smug long-hair strut off-balance. It was a vicious cycle: The more I straightened my hair, the more I damaged it, and ultimately the shorter it became.
And so on. I would continuously forgo haircuts only to watch my dry, damaged ends continue to split. I began researching miracle-grow products online, and spent hours reading Yelp reviews—to no avail. Nothing worked. I virtually emptied my bank account and purchased a pair of clip-in extensions to give the illusion that my hair was just as thick and lengthy as it once was. After a consultation, I practically skipped into the salon, bright-eyed and eager to get started. It's not every day that you walk in with fine, shoulder-length hair and get the chance to leave feeling like Gisele at the Oscars.
The stylist clipped the extensions in, snipped the ends to blend, and curled each strand into the glossy yet somehow still effortless-looking beach waves I tried to re-create for almost a decade. Which leads me to my next staggering announcement: I wore those extensions every single day for the next nine years. I replaced them every one to two years with fresh inch Remy hair beauty speak for healthy, never-before-processed human hair. This type of hair extension can be applied and removed easily by yourself without the help of a professional and tends to have a longer life span due to its occasional use.
Permanent, or sometimes referred to as Semi-Permanent Hair extensions are attached to the hair for several weeks before removing and repositioning, this type of extension must be applied by a professional extensionist and is perfect for customers who do not feel comfortable applying their own hair. Whilst permanent hair extensions usually give a far more natural result and come up trumps convenience wise, they also pose a higher risk to the hair if applied incorrectly. Damage is only caused to our natural hair by Clip-in Hair extensions or Hair Pieces when an incorrect weight is used on the hair or from misuse of the extensions.
For instance, when a heavy piece or set is attached to very fine or thin hair this can create a lot of tug on your natural hair eventually causing breakage as the hair it is attached too is not strong enough to hold it.
This is the biggest cause of hair damage throughout all types of hair extensions and ironically it Is also the most avoidable. Misuse can also play a huge part in causing damage, there are some golden rules that must always be followed when using any temporary hair extensions which we have listed below.
Choosing the right set of Clip-ins or hair piece for your hair type will not only prevent damage to your hair but it will also give you a much better result! Were going to give you some quick tips for understanding the weight of hair extensions and what type is better for your hair thickness. The majority of hair extension wearers have hair that is on the shorter and thinner side, hence the reason for wanting to add extra volume and length.
When you have thin hair, the maximum amount of weight you want to be adding to your hair is g, this weight should also be evenly distributed around the head and not onto one area. You can find Clip-in solutions that have 8 different pieces to position all over the head meaning the weight is balanced and not focused on one place causing too much tension.
For One Piece hair extensions or hair pieces like Ponytails or fringes the maximum weight you should aim for is 80g and for very thin haired customers 50g is best. Therefore, choosing a more lightweight hair extension is not only better for the health of your fine hair it will also be easier to blend in! Below we have listed the products in our range here at Cliphair that we advise our customers to use when they have thin or fine hair.
Sticking to these guidelines will not only prolong the life span of your hair extensions which will save you time and money, it will also help to prevent your own hair from any harm. Sleeping or showering with this type of extension attached to your hair is a big no-no.
If your Clip-Ins or Ponytail piece are still attached while you sleep, with every toss and turn of your head your hair is rubbing against your pillow meaning the clips on your head are also rubbing against your scalp. This can cause serious problems, first being matting. Not only can this cause your hair extensions to matt on the ends which is a pain in itself but worse it can actually entwine your own hair in with the clips on the top of the weft, trying to untangle this could end up leading to loss of your own hair at the root.
Showering with the hair attached has the same effect and can cause irritation to the scalp as well as hair loss. Another way to protect your precious hair is to make sure the amount of hair you are clipping your extensions to is sufficient to hold the weight. It should not feel painful once you have clipped your hair in, if you can feel any extra tugging or tension this usually means the hair is not gripping properly which can cause the set to slip out, sometimes taking your own hair along with it.
If the hair does feel uncomfortable, simply remove it and reapply. Giving your root a little backcombing before attaching the clips is a great way to secure the clip to your hair as it creates a nest for the clip to grab too! If your Clip-ins feel matted or very tangly, its always best to brush them when they are not in your hair as the tugging motion will pull on your own hair too. We recommend brushing your Clip-Ins before and after every use and especially before washing them to keep knots at bay.
Overusing your Clip-ins can also be harmful to your hair, especially if you are using a very heavy set. Even for customers who are lucky enough to have super thick, luscious hair this should be considered. Hair extensions that have a weight between g are not designed for everyday use, they are fantastic for events and occasional use maybe times a week however if you would prefer this look everyday you may want to consider using permanent hair extensions.
The major cause of hair damage from Permanent hair extensions is incorrect application and bad maintenance of the hair extensions in between services. Permanent hair extensions are professional items that should only be applied by a qualified hair extensionist and never on your own hair. Something so minor like not adding enough hair to your attachment can cause damage therefor we would not suggest attempting self-application however easy it may look.
With the correct care, application and maintenance permanent hair extensions can be life changing for all the right reasons. They tend to have a far more natural appearance as they blend better with natural hair, you have more freedom of where you would like them placed and they are much easier to hide. There is no reason that Permanent hair extensions, when used properly, should cause any damage to your hair.
If this sounds like something you would not be able to commit too, we advise looking into a more temporary option like Clip-Ins. The aftercare care of your Permanent hair extensions is equally as important as the application for protecting your own hair.
We strongly recommend having a physical consultation with your stylist before choosing your hair extension type. Your professional will help you pick how much you need, which type to use and will be able to give you a specific plan for how often you need to return for maintenance appointments and how to care for the hair in between. As we have mentioned before, choosing the right type for your hair is half of the work with hair extensions so make sure you get some sound advice before making your decision.
