With so many hair extension companies competing in the same market, it can be pretty frustrating for the consumer to decide, which brand should you trust and which to ignore.
However, when it comes to seamless and soft tape-in extensions, here are some of the tips that should help you to make the right choice (if you don’t feel like reading the whole list, we recommend going for these tape-ins):
Seamless Tape-In Extensions – Considerations
– For the extensions to feel seamless, they must be made of the real Remy human hair. Please note that some suppliers mix human hair with animal hair but that’s another story that we covered last month, see: the dirty hair extension business secrets.
– For the extensions to actually be seamless, they should include transparent rather than the regular tape. If you never heard about such tape in the first place, see our regular vs. transparent tape article.
– If the seller in confident in its tape-in extensions, they will offer a money back guarantee. Otherwise, consider a different supplier.
Having said all that, Wigsbeautymall is the company that matches all these factors, not to mention the free worldwide shipping. Wondering how much they cost? As of today, the seamless tape-in extensions are having a blowout sale, so get shopping!

Enhance Your Locks With Easy Clip-in Hair
If you're into alternating temporary low-maintenance looks, you'll love the simplicity of clip-on hair extensions. Just insert WigsBeautyMall layers quickly in the morning to make your natural locks longer and fuller. Detach them easily at night. Change your hairdo rapidly anytime. Shampoo and style your rooted and supplemental tresses separately as needed. Sounds ideal? Then review the tricks below.
Selection Criteria
You're the only person who should know that you're wearing extensions. To avoid telltale signs, choose quality human hair for a more natural look than synthetics. Refer to the WigsBeautyMall selection guide for help picking the appropriate length and weight for your clip ins.
Choose the color from the online chart that's most like your personal shade. If no available option matches perfectly, realize that your actual roots and ends vary visually. Flip your tips up to the top of your head to notice the difference. Then order a tone that blends in with your own color range.
Find a hair texture that matches your existing type (straight, wavy, curly, etc.). Avoid consistency variations that create fake, uneven looks. Select the WigsBeautyMall quality/price point ratio that suits you best. To place your order for 100-percent real clip-on hair extensions with free shipping, indicate the quantity.
Attachment Steps
Clip-in sets of hair curtains come in multiple widths with one to four fasteners. Follow these application steps:
Curl your natural hair: Create loose random waves with a curling iron. Strive for added volume, not perfectly styled locks. (Remember to use a heat-protection spray or cream on both your hair and the extensions before curling.)
Untangle and curl extensions: Remove knots from all sections with a broad-bristle brush or wide-tooth comb. Hold clip end tightly in one hand. Curl small portions with your hot tool. Or snap a piece in some head location temporarily where you can style it more easily. Then detach it for later use.
Place panels on flat surface: Let WigsBeautyMall curls cool and set. To prevent ringlets from loosening, spritz them with hairspray.
Apply back sections in rows: Make a part crossing the back of your head horizontally. Secure natural tresses in a claw clip on the top of your head to get them out of the way. Place full-width extensions with fastening teeth facing toward your scalp. Just under the part line, attach far right clasp near your ear, affix one or two middle clips, and snap the remaining far left one near the other ear. Release hair on the top of your head. Depending on the number of sections in your set, create one or more rows higher than the first. Repeat the side-to-side gripping pattern until you've clamped all back panels.
Add smaller remaining extensions: Position and affix narrow two- and one-clip strips to fill in empty spaces. Concentrate on areas under back part ends and both sides to ensure overall volume consistency.
Brush to blend: After clipping in all layers, brushing the ends will blend your rooted and WigsBeautyMall. Curl any stray strands so you can't recognize your natural ones from the extensions.
Removal Process
You should remove your extensions every night before you go to bed in order to keep your extensions in good condition. After all, buying clip-in extensions means you don't have to wear them all the time so you can give your head a rest while you sleep.
Create a part that exposes the highest layer on your head. Carefully pull on each comb holding the top row of extensions to remove from your hair. Be careful not to pull right on the extension hair or get it tangled with your own hair. Be careful not to yank on your own locks. Repeat that process, moving downward until you've detached all clips.
Washing Tips
Your clip-in extensions won't get as dirty as quickly as your normal hair, or like more-permanent extensions. We recommend that you wash them ever 15 to 20 wears, or when there is too much product buildup.
When you're ready to wash your extensions, start by detangling loose extensions. Your regular shampooing and conditioning products will cleanse and refresh your WigsBeautyMall. Holding clips, dip hair into lukewarm water from the ends. Don't wet threads securing attachments to avoid loosening the grips. Apply cleaning formula in downward motions to remove dirt along with excess oil. Rinse and repeat until water looks clear.
After spreading conditioner in a descending fashion, wait 10 to 15 minutes before rinsing. Air dry to prevent heat damage from blow-drying. Hang panels or place them flat on absorbent towels. Brush slightly extensions gently only once they are dry.
Maintenance Routine
You can reuse our semi-permanent clip-on additions as often as you wish. If you insert and remove your WigsBeautyMall frequently, maintaining your clip-in human hair extensions is vital. Store strips flat in the original packaging to avoid creases and tangles. Sew loose fasteners onto hair sections with color-coordinated thread. Before reapplying, brush extensions gently. Re-curl as necessary to achieve your desired look.

DIY Hair Lightening Tricks
Spice It Up
If you're new to the DIY life or just don't feel comfortable experimenting with your hair in a big way, this is the easiest –read, safest– way to try something new without going the whole hog.
The fastest way to changing your hair color naturally is with a quick trip to the kitchen. Yep, all you need is an innocuous little ingredient found in all homes: cinnamon.
A cinnamon hair mask is a great step for DIY beginners: the mask will lighten your hair but very minimally so, which means you don't have to worry about facing a whole other person in the mirror later.
The changes are subtle and gradual, so if you're not pleased with the method you can quit any time and that’s that.
All you have to do is dissolve a teaspoon of cinnamon in some water until you reach a paste-like consistency. Begin by wetting your hair in the shower and working a conditioner onto your hair. Once all your hair is coated, spread the cinnamon paste onto your hair, without rinsing the conditioner off. The conditioner gives the mask something to adhere to. Pull on a shower cap and let the mixture sit on your hair for a minimum of six hours. If you're game, leaving it on overnight works best. Once enough time has passed just rinse your hair clean and you’re done!
USP: Richer hair color with yummy-smelling locks. And cinnamon masks help with hair growth!
Babes And Brews
This is possibly one of the oldest natural hair lightening tricks known to beauty enthusiasts the world over. Using a tea brew is a time-tested way of experimenting with hair color naturally.
All you have to do is boil some water, pour it into a mug, add a tea bag and let it steep for around ten minutes. Once the mixture has cooled, slowly pour it over your hair, making sure the rinse coats all your hair.
Let the rinse sit overnight and then simply wash it out the next day.
You can use this technique as many times you like. I do recommend using a chamomile tea because it works wonders on the hair without stripping it off its natural oils. The mix works beautifully on dark hair, giving it a luminous sheen and adding tonality to the tresses.
USP: The chamomile hair rinse has some serious anti-dandruff properties and it works well with dyed hair, so you don't have to worry about ruining your color.
Spirited Ways
Speaking of brews, here's another concoction you can use to lighten your hair naturally at home. This one involves a walk to yet another part of the house: the bar!
Here's how you put this bad boy together: add one part vodka for two parts seltzer into a container and mix it well. For ease of application I recommend storing it in a spray bottle.
Then all you have to do is spray the mix onto your hair, making sure you coat all of it.
And it just gets better from here: step out into the sun and spend some time soaking in the rays. While you relax, the vodkas crystal blue body will work to remove brassy tones from your hair and the combination of the sun’s heat and the alcohol will bring out the hair color pigment. Think of it as a means to amping up your natural hair color and adding some serious dimension to your locks.
USP: Vodka-based hair remedies can be used for tons of concerns, from hair to dandruff!
When Life Gives You Lemons
All those hours you spent at the beach trying to get those perfect sun-kissed highlights and the secret was right there in your pantry: lemons!
Of all the ways in which you can use lemons for hair, this is my favorite. You can actually add highlights to your hair with a DIY lemon hair mask. It’s as simple as using a lemon wedge and running it over the areas you want to lighten. You know how your stylist will carefully color some sections while leaving the rest untouched?
Just mimic that action with the lemon instead. To start out, use the technique on strands close to the face (this really opens the face up) and the crown because these are the most visible, even in updos and braids.
If you want to lighten all your hair, create a rinse by dissolving 2 tablespoons of lemon juice in a glass of warm water and running the same through your hair. Spend time in the sun, letting the rinse dry. Wash it off and follow up with a replenishing hair treatment because the citric acid can leave your hair feeling slightly parched.
USP: It's really easy to achieve a high degree of control while painting on highlights with lemon slices: none of the box color kit stress here!

Styling Hacks For Thin Hair
Living with fine/ thinning hair can be extremely trying, especially if you're passionate about all things beauty and hairstyling. If you've often found yourself pining away after photos of thick braids and voluminous updos, it's time to rejoice. With my hair hacks, you can now style thin hair and enjoy the same fabulous results as everyone else.
1.Use Lightweight Products
Using the right styling products is key to getting any hairstyle right. However, with thin/ thinning hair, choosing the right products can be a challenge in itself. Regular products will weigh your hair down, making it greasy and/or limp. Look for lightweight, volumizing products. These will make hair strands softer and plumper, giving you weightless body and movement without adding bulk to your hair.
2.The Long And Short Of It
You might be tempted to rock a Rapunzel-esque braid, but let's get real for a moment: super-long cuts and hairos simply don't work in very fine hair. Long hair needs to be able to support its own weight, especially if you plan to wear it in updos and other unique hairstyles. Even if you manage to grow your hair long, it'll become brittle in no time and start fraying and looking limp. Long hair needs major natural volume. What you can do is wear your hair in shorter/ medium lengths and add layers to create volume. Feathered-out cuts can be a godsend for fine hair and you can still rock braids, updos and whatnot. And if you do need major lengths sometimes, there are always hair extensions to turn to.
3.Blow-dry For Your Hair Type
For starters, if you have very thin hair, I don't recommend using a blow-dryer daily. It can dry your hair out though using an ionic/ tourmaline dryer can help with that. Picking the appropriate styling tools can help minimize damage and frustration.
Before blow-drying work a volumizing styling mousse into your hair for some lightweight volume and dependable hold. Then flip your hair upside down and direct the air at the roots. This will create tons of volume.
4.Avoid Products That Dry The Hair Out
Steer clear of products that contain sodium lauryl sulfate or ammonium lauryl sulfate. Ingredients such as drying alcohols, polymers, ammonia and detergents are the reason why traditional hair cleansers lather up and feel so creamy and powerful, but in truth, they're stripping your scalp and hair of natural (and very essential) oils. While they're damaging to all hair types, thin hair can look exceptionally scraggly and have absolutely no strength after being treated to such products. Look for SLS-free/ organic shampoos or try a DIY shampoo recipe.
5.Crowning Glory
A root-lifting product and a teasing comb can be your best friends when you have thin hair. Look for hairstyles with volume at the crown.Anything with a bump/ beehive/ bouffant is recommend. Not only do these hairstyles create the illusion of more hair, they're also easier to style (and lighter to wear) in fine hair.
6.Fringe Benefits
A receding hairline can be one of the hardest things to get used to in life, and is also one of the most common hair woes associated with fine/ thinning hair. One of the best ways to disguise the problem is by asking your stylist to cut short, blunt bangs. These create a thick, rounded-out fringe which adds volume at the hairline.
7.Don't Straighten Your Hair
Straight hair, by virtue of its texture, sits flat. This means it invariably looks thinner, as compared to other hair textures. Curls always look most voluminous, but other hair textures can also look good. If your hair is naturally straight, consider using foam rollers or diffusers while drying to change your hair texture. If not, steer clear of the flat iron.
8.Plump Braids With Pancaking
It can be frustrating to create an intricate braid only to have it look flat and thin. But with the pancaking technique, you can fake thicker, bigger braids in no time at all. Simply tug on the loops of a braid gently, pulling it out to fluff it up a bit. Instant volume! Go ahead and try at least one braid today.
9.Parting Ways
If you've got sparse hair, avoid parting your hair. A clean part can add crispness to a look but it can also expose thinning if you end up showing a lot of scalp. Hairstyles that don't feature parts typically involve volume at the crown, messy texture or just simply end up looking like there's more hair because more area is covered. And if you do want to wear a hairstyle with a part, switch things up by taking it to the opposite side: over time hair flattens out on the side you normally wear your part and flipping it over can create some lift at the roots.

Hot Hair Color Trends for 2016
Trend spotting is great, but what if you could get in on the biggest trends of the year before everyone else? Want the inside scoop on 2016's hottest hair color trends? Read on to find out what's on the color menu.
Rose Gold
The rose gold hair color trend continues to shine strong this year. It's the perfect balance between pastel/ rainbow hair color trends and more solid washes. It's bold, but delicate. It's unicolor but dimensional. And it's edgy without being niche. Contrary to popular belief, the rose gold trend can be worn in a variety of shades, ranging from the very pale pink hue for blonde bases to a deeper, more sunset-pink for darker bases.
It wears well and looks charming even as it fades, so you don't have to touchup very often. And the best part? The color works with every skin tone.
Get rose-ready quick because the rose gold hair color trend is going to be one of Spring 2016's biggest hair color trends.
California Blonde
We’ve seen so many iterations of blonde balayage and ombré over the last two years that it’s hard to get psyched up over yet another blonde-based trend, but this one’s breaking the mold. How? Because it’s taking back everything artificial and obvious and replacing it with the real sun-kissed, faded-by-nature-and-not-by-dye effect. It's not a uniform blonde trend: it's a blonde that's perfect for your skin tone, adapted to the individual and offset with natural highlights and lowlights and a gradient to die for.
Get in the mood for warm weather with this one. Think beach volleyball, the perfect tan and margaritas by the shore.
Steel
Does the idea of black-and-blue worry you? Think again. We're talking the most fabulously edgy take on the Goth hair trend that turns up every couple of years. Think sapphires. Granite in the light. The color of midnight.
This one's especially suited for black-haired beauties but you can always go dark if your natural/current base is light. We work with a black base and add hints of steel blue to create a marriage of charcoal and Prussian blue.
Imagine the might sky, backlit by its own essence. Your very own inky canvas.
Whoever said that blue was for the boy is definitely missing out on 2016's hottest hair color trend. This lovely take on the trend is by Hugo Salon in Kensington, MD.
Violet
A bold choice, this. But beautiful in an otherworldly way. What makes this color so magical is that it strikes the perfect balance between the two Pantone 2016 colors: Rose Quartz (soft, almost powdery blue) and Serenity (pale pink). The colors of the sky at daybreak and early sunset.
Mix Serenity and Rose Quartz and you get a muted, sophisticated purple. Wear alone or as a wash over a grey base for a tone-in-tone effect.
Bold Violet
If violet is a little too subtle for your taste, you can try a more vibrant take on the hue. This bold color is on-trend, but not for the faint of heart.
Melting Chocolate
Looking for something a little more classic? The old school, chocolate brown is going to be big this year- and not just for fall. What's new, you ask? Well, we're looking at a yummy favorite, but to spice things up we're adding warmer undertones. It’s the perfect hue for olive skin tones but also works marvelously with other skin tones. Make sure you ask your stylist for warm undertones (think amber for a lighter wash or mahogany for a deeper tone) or you'll end up with a chestnut brown hue.
That said, brown in general is one of the most universally flattering hair colors, so you can pick between any number of brunette hair color options.
This year's hair color trends are breaking the barriers between the conventional colors assigned to the seasons. These trends can be worn anytime through the year, and if you’re feeling adventurous I recommend giving all of them a shot!

If violet is a little too subtle for your taste, you can try a more vibrant take on the hue. This bold color is on-trend, but not for the faint of heart.
Melting Chocolate
Looking for something a little more classic? The old school, chocolate brown is going to be big this year- and not just for fall. What's new, you ask? Well, we're looking at a yummy favorite, but to spice things up we're adding warmer undertones. It’s the perfect hue for olive skin tones but also works marvelously with other skin tones. Make sure you ask your stylist for warm undertones (think amber for a lighter wash or mahogany for a deeper tone) or you'll end up with a chestnut brown hue.
That said, brown in general is one of the most universally flattering hair colors, so you can pick between any number of brunette hair color options.
This year's hair color trends are breaking the barriers between the conventional colors assigned to the seasons. These trends can be worn anytime through the year, and if you’re feeling adventurous I recommend giving all of them a shot!

Are Hair Extensions Bad for Your Hair?
From hair loss to headaches, be it for thin or thick hair, there is an underlying opinion that hair extensions are not safe and pretty much bad for your hair. However, before holding into this opinion, one must first find out, if the actual extensions damage your hair or is it the incorrect and poor fusion methods that are to blame.
Do Hair Extensions Damage Your Hair?
If you are using them properly then no, hair extensions should not damage your hair. It's like anything else in life, even applying makeup on your face. Sure, there are some chemicals but if you are not going over the top, then there is nothing you should worry about.
The biggest issue with hair extensions is not the extensions but people that are handing them. Be it from inexperienced stylists that damage your hair or from super heavy hair sets that do indeed cause headaches / scalp pain and even hair loss. For more on which weight hair extensions you should get, please see our buying guide (hint: it's no more than 160g).
However, there are some methods that are “designed” to “damage” your hair, for example: keratin hair extensions, that are attached by melting the natural hair protein (keratin), will certainly leave a mark on your hair but as far as we are concerned, the only real damage that we count as damage is hair loss or thinner hair (most of the time it's a direct result of applying various chemicals onto hair to remove the extensions).
What Are the Safest Hair Extensions?
The safest hair extensions that we recommend and that have the lowest amount of “risk” is clip-ins. If you don’t feel comfortable wearing them and are getting headaches (could also be due to the low quality clips), all you need to do is spend few more minutes adjusting them and the issue disappears.
You don’t even need a stylist to apply them and in case you decide to go with highest quality clip-ins (from Wigsbeautymall), you can always pick just the correct weight, from 50 to 160 grams.
Hopefully, you now have a much better understanding on whether or not hair extensions are safe to use and whether or not they damage your hair.

How Long Do Tape-in Hair Extensions Last?
Whether you have already decided on buying tape-in hair extensions or not, there are few factors that one should know. Yes, we are talking about the lifespan of hair extensions.
How Long Do Tape-Ins Last?
The average lifespan of tape-in hair extensions is around 3-6 months. This assumes that you are using the high quality (and real Remy human hair) extensions (as sold by Wigsbeautymall) and high grade double sided tape.
How to Extend the Lifespan of Tape-in Hair Extensions?
The first one is pretty easy to do: since these extensions are attached using a tape, which may peel off, get some double sided tape (can be bought here with free shipping). This will allow you to re-attach and re-apply extensions when needed.
When it comes to extensions care, there are some things that you can do, including: applying hair conditioner, letting hair dry naturally and more. Going back to the example above, since Wigsbeautymall extensions are made of the real Remy human hair, you should treat them just like you would your own hair.
So while we say that these extensions last around 3-6 months, it does not mean that they won’t be damaged within first month by constant over-drying, hair straightening using bad temperatures and so on. Some of our clients have actually managed to extend the tape-in hair extensions lifespan by few months, making a total closer to 8 months. It’s all up to you.
