Struktur Studio • Jul 31, 2023



Hair extensions are a popular way to add length, volume, and even color to your hair without the commitment of a haircut or dye job. If you're in Calgary and considering getting hair extensions, there are several options available to you. In this blog post, we'll discuss the different types of hair extensions you can get in Calgary and some of the best places to get them.


Types of Hair Extensions

There are several types of hair extensions available,
each with its own benefits and drawbacks.

The most popular types of hair extensions include:

  1. Clip-in extensions: Clip-in extensions are the easiest and most temporary way to add length and volume to your hair. They are attached to your natural hair using small clips and can be easily removed at the end of the day.

  2. Tape-in extensions: Tape-in extensions are a semi-permanent option that lasts for several weeks. They are attached to your natural hair using a special adhesive tape and can be easily removed with a solvent.

  3. Sew-in extensions: Sew-in extensions are a more permanent option that lasts for several months. They are attached to your natural hair using a needle and thread and can only be removed by a professional.

  4. Fusion extensions: Fusion extensions are a permanent option that lasts for several months. They are attached to your natural hair using a special heat tool and keratin glue.




Now you have them this is how      you need to care for them


Brushing

Brushing your hair extensions regularly is essential to prevent tangling and matting. Use a soft-bristled brush and start from the bottom, working your way up. Avoid brushing the roots, as this can loosen the extensions.

Washing

Washing your hair extensions is important to remove dirt, oil, and product buildup. Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner, and avoid using hot water, as this can damage the extensions. Gently massage the shampoo into your hair, avoiding the roots, and rinse thoroughly.

Drying

Drying your hair extensions is crucial to prevent them from becoming damaged or tangled. Gently pat your hair with a towel to remove excess water, and then let it air dry. Avoid using heat tools, such as hairdryers or straighteners, as these can damage the extensions.

Styling

Styling your hair extensions can be a great way to switch up your look, but it's important to do so carefully. Use heat protectant spray before using any heat tools, and avoid using tools on wet hair. Try to limit heat styling to a few times a week to prevent damage.

Sleeping

Sleeping with your hair extensions can be tricky, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid tangling or matting. Tie your hair up in a loose braid or ponytail before bed, and use a silk or satin pillowcase, as these materials are gentler on the extensions.

 Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your hair extensions looking their best. Visit your stylist every 6-8 weeks for a touch-up or to have the extensions removed and reinstalled. Avoid using products that contain alcohol, as these can dry out the extensions, and avoid exposing them to chlorine or saltwater.

In conclusion, caring for your hair extensions properly is essential to ensure they last as long as possible and maintain their appearance. With these tips, you can keep your hair extensions looking their best and enjoy all the benefits they have to offer.



Whether you're looking to add length, volume, or color to your hair, there's a hair extension option for you in Calgary. From clip-in extensions to sew-in extensions, there are several types to choose from, and many reputable salons to help you achieve your desired look.

Lash extension glue LOVES to be kept clean in order to maintain its strong bond to your natural lash. Dirty lashes causes your lash glue to become weak resulting in extensions falling off your natural lash instead of lasting the entire life of the natural lash cycle and falling out when the natural lash is shed.
