When we mention hair extensions in the salon, we can almost see what some clients are thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLovely\u2026 but I don\u2019t want really long hair.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fair enough. But some of our favourite extension work isn\u2019t about length at all, explains Mel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s often about making fine ends look fuller. Adding a little more hair around the sides. Giving a bob a thicker, stronger shape. Or helping you get past that awkward point where your hair will grow longer\u2026 but starts looking a bit straggly when it does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In other words, extensions can be about making more of the hair you already have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is where chatting to your stylist can really help. You don\u2019t necessarily need lots of extensions or a big transformation. Sometimes adding hair in just the right places is enough to make your whole hairstyle look better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that\u2019s the beauty of it. Your hair still looks like your hair. Just fuller, thicker and with a little more oomph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So we\u2019ll look at where your hair looks thin, what happens when you try to grow it and what you\u2019d love to change. Because sometimes there\u2019s only so much we can achieve with a haircut when it\u2019s the natural thickness of your hair that\u2019s holding you back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next time you\u2019re in the salon, tell us what bugs you about your hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe it\u2019s those ends that always look wispy. The sides that never seem to catch up with the back. Or simply that you\u2019d love your hair to look thicker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ll tell you whether extensions could help. And, just as importantly, whether they\u2019re right for your hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd if you\u2019ve a wedding, holiday or big event coming up, tell us. A little extra hair can give us much more to play with when we\u2019re styling it,\u201d says Mel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We also need to think about the condition of your hair, how much maintenance you\u2019re happy with and what they\u2019ll involve between appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ask us about that too. How do you look after them at home? How often will you need to come back? What will they cost to maintain? Can you still style your hair in the way you normally do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019d much rather you know exactly what\u2019s involved before you decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, if you\u2019ve always filed extensions under long hair, not for me<\/em>, it might be time to think again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next time you\u2019re in, ask us what a little extra hair in the right place could do for yours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When we mention hair extensions in the salon, we can almost see what some clients are thinking. \u201cLovely\u2026 but I don\u2019t want really long hair.\u201d Fair enough.
