Can I Get Hair Extensions? My Hair Is Short!

I have short hair now, how long does my hair have to be to get hair extensions? Blog by Jaclynn Kate

At least once a week I have a client stumble upon my blog online and then they inquire & say the same thing..."I went somewhere on a groupon and got a really bad short hair cut, how short can my hair be to get hair extensions?' Well that answer is a little difficult to answer via email. It is much easier to answer that question when you are in front of me and I am putting my hand through your hair.

I'll explain...

Ideally you would want your hair to be down to your shoulders. This give us room to blend the extensions and it helps ensure you don't have a line of disconnection. However, if you have very thick short hair you might want to add some layers in your hair to break up the bottom line, this will help blend the extensions and again ensure you don't have a line of disconnection. 

Here is a great example. This is one of my new clients who found me from my blog. She used to have super long hair & was talked into a short hair cut by another client. I spoke with her via email & asked if she would come in for a free consultation. She came in and we agreed on 80 pieces of hair extensions for her hair- with the option of adding 20 more pieces just in case the 80 didn't blend 100%. Now to me looking at her hair I would think she needs at least 20 more pieces to blend it even better, but she has left it this way and it very happy. 

She also wanted some dimension in her hair without damaging her hair. With that being said she picked out the purple extensions and we put ten purple pieces in her hair just to break up the solid color.

I have blonde hair & I bleach it. Can I get blonde hair extensions & still be able to bleach my own hair?

Blonde Non Damaging Hair Extensions In North Kingstown Rhode Island By Jaclynn Kate

Non damaging? How can hair extensions be non damaging? I get this question weekly. The answer is simple- we don't use glue, braiding, or wefts. The brand of extensions used are a micro loop process with silicone & keratin inside of the bead causing no damage. If you hair is strong enough to hold an extension, and you are willing and ready to take care of the extension then you wont have damage to your hair.

'I bleach my hair, how will that effect my extensions?' ... Well if your doing the bleaching yourself at home & expect to still continue to do it at home after getting the extensions put in, you should also be ready to have your extensions fall out. I say this because you CAN bleach your roots with extensions you just have to be VERY careful not to get the beach on the extensions. If you do get the bleach on the extension, they will break. I have many blonde bleach & tone clients who come in for me to do theirs roots to prolong the lifeline of their investment- their extensions.

Meet my adorable client Karissa. Karissa gets a very heavy highlight done by me every 6-8 weeks. She now just got 100 pieces of extensions added into her hair for length & volume. Now I can still go into her head & highlight her hair, as long as I don't get the bleach onto her extensions.

You see these extensions are 100% human remy hair & when they were being made they went through an extensive 4 day 'cleaning & bleaching' process. So if you go ahead & put MORE bleach on them, the blonde can't take it anymore & it will break.

On a side note, we used two different colors in Karissas hair cause she still has some dark pieces from being a brunette. As Karissa goes lighter with her blonde, we will switch out her darker pieces for blonder pieces to match. If you are thinking about getting extensions done don't be afraid to ask 100 questions about the process to your stylist. if he/she doesn't seem knowledgeable & you don't see certification of completion on the process, I would highly advise NOT going with that stylist. But hey, if you want to gamble with your hair- go for it.

Can I Have A High Light & Low Light With Hair Extension?

Can I Have A High Light & Low Light With Hair Extension?

Hair Extensions In Rhode Island By Jaclynn Kate

Many times I receive email inquiries from woman who already have a highlight & low light in their hair. So their concern is that their hair isn't going to blend if they do one solid color of extensions. And they're right. If I were to just go in and do one solid color of hair extensions, their hair wouldn't blend properly. What I usually do if have them come into the salon for a complimentary consultation & I color match their hair colors & match it to our extensions. 

It's that simple. Theirs NO need to order one solid color of hair extensions & THEN go back in & try to lighten them to the color of their highlights. Actually with our brand of extensions it is recommended that you DON'T highlights these extensions. They can & probably will break. 

This is my client Teresea, & as you can see in the top left photo she already had some over grown highlights, but she wanted to keep them. So what we decided to do was match the highlighted color to the hair extension & put a lot of that color towards the bottom so it looks like an Ombre color. 

Teresea put in 60 pieces to start & then came back for 20 more pieces to give her a more full look.  She likes to curl her hair a lot so these extensions work perfectly for her because they hold a curl for a long time!

In closing- if you are a stylist & are going to attempt to do a highlight lowlight extension. I'd suggest a little practise ahead of time so the client doesn't come out 'streaky'! Please email with any questions!! =]

Non Damaging Hair Extensions By Jaclynn Kate

I am asked many times when someone new inquires with me about my hair extension services, if they have to color the extensions to match their hair. I guess this question comes up a lot is cause I tend to post photos of blonde hair extensions. Whatever the case may be the answer to the question "do I have to color the extensions to match my hair' is generally no. 

With the brand of hair extensions I use, we have a wide variety of hair colors to choose from. The hair has already been throughly cleaned, processed & colored. So we tend to try to stray away from coloring the extensions if we don't have to. I have only come across the need to color these extensions when 1) their hair is a special kind of red 2) when they bough the extensions when they were blonde & then wanted to go brunette & 3)when the decided to try to add low lights.

Another question I am asked frequently is, 'what do I do if I have highlights? Will it blend'? I'd say yes. What I would then do is have you come in the salon for a complimentary consultation, color match your base color & then color match your high lights. Yup, it's that easy. Then when Im putting them in, I just make it look like you have natural highlights running through your hair.

Here is a great example of my client Marie, who received a high light/low light hair extension. I did NOT color her hair to match the extensions but just matched the hair extensions to her current hair color.

In closing- if you are a stylist & are going to attempt to do a highlight lowlight extension. I'd suggest a little practise ahead of time so the client doesn't come out 'streaky'! Please email with any questions!! =]
