Hair extensions can drastically change your appearance by adding volume and length, boosting your confidence, and making you feel your best. If you’re new to this technique, knowing what to expect during your hair extension consultation is essential.
What to Expect During a Hair Extension Consultation
Here’s what you need to know:
No Need to Get Your Hair Cleaned
You don’t have to arrive with freshly washed hair since your hair stylist will wash your natural hair during your visit. However, they won’t wash your extensions, except for the microbead push-ups, where the whole head of hair is cleaned together after the process. Therefore, it’s crucial to arrive at your consultation with your hair extensions in the same condition you want them restored.
Discuss Hair Extension Removal at Your Consultation
When you remove each hair extension, expect a significant amount of shedding hair. Extensions hold the hair in place, preventing natural hair fall of around 50 to 150 hairs daily. The shedding hair that would typically have fallen out over time may come out all at once during removal. While it may be shocking to see so much hair being combed out, during your consultation you will be reassured that it’s normal and to be expected.
Very Matted Hair May Take a Little Bit Longer
If your natural hair is exceedingly matted, your treatment may take longer. This may be due to not brushing your hair often enough, going to bed with wet or damp hair, or not properly caring for your hair extensions. During your consultation your hairdresser will need to spend extra time detangling your hair and eliminating any mats, which can be uncomfortable depending on their severity. Your stylist will go over your aftercare routine with you and provide recommendations on how to enhance it.
If you continue to have issues with matting and heavy tangling, it may be recommended during your consultation to use a different hair extension brand or technique. Your natural hair must be in good condition, and you will need to practice proper at-home hair care if you want to continue receiving hair extension treatments.
Prepare for Your Reinstallation Appointment
You can always ask the salon about quick touch ups or maintenance during your hair extension consultation. If you’re concerned about your hair becoming matted or tangled between appointments, there are options available to avoid this. You can also send images of your hair through text messages to the salon for advice. Remember to practice good at-home hair care if you want to continue getting extension treatments. If you experience severe matting or tangling, you may be recommended to discontinue getting hair extensions or to try a different way of applying them.
