Also, the color does not fade with the extensions. We wish when we color hair that it would not fade.

But, you must remember that it takes work on your part to wear extensions. They must be brushed out in the morning and at night to avoid a tangled mess. When shampooing your hair be a little gentle when scrubbing your scalp. Blow dry and style as usual.

If you need a little fullness or you want long hair,hair extensions might be the way to go. When hair extensions are applied you must go back every four to six weeks to reapply the hair. This is a good time to get your hair color and cut while removing your extensions. Talk to your professional.
