How To Make Hair Extensions Look Natural

Nicole Davey: My favourite tip to make extensions look natural personally for myself, is to dye the lightest blonde with my hairdye to ensure that it's a perfect colour match and also to curl/wave them into my natural hair to give a seamless look! Keeping extensions in top condition by using heat protection spray and regularly washing them helps a treat too as it keeps them as healthy as my natural hair ☺️

halohair: My favourite tip for making hair extensions look natural is definitely styling the extensions while they're in your hair, it really makes everything blend together and sit nicely if you style both your hair and the extensions during application. My other fav tip from this video is to twirl shorter hair from the base of the neck and clip it up before applying the first extension, such a great trick when growing hair out or to hide stray shorter pieces! :)

Sarah Burke: 1)  I layer my extensions myself, especially at the front sides. I measure the lengths of my hair and then using a trouser          hanger I hang a weft and begin to work on gentle layering :)      If your not confident with layering then ask your hairdresser, don't risk the extensions!!  2) Then when placing them in my hair I always take the underneath and clip it into a little bun to hide the tell tale sign of the     shorter hair :) 3) If wearing my hair curly with extensions I always curl my hair with the extensions in. While it may seem easier to curl         them first, then add to hair.. it actually works and looks more natural to have your own hair curled in the same direction       as the extensions. 4)  If wearing hair straight, straighten hair as normal then add some hairspray to an old toothbrush and brush where the           ends of your own hair meet the extensions to keep the it seamless all day :)

Rebecca Simpson: I've had many sets of extensions. From braids, microbeads, clip ins. I oddly enough found that the colour shade isn't extremely important, it is to a degree. For blondes it's quite difficult to get an exact match, although always making sure my hair was controlled with no frizz made my hair blend seamlessly together! Styling the hair altogether is extremely vital, not styling your own hair then the extensions! I really hope I win a set of extensions, they look amazing quality and this channel is creative as well as helpful. xxx

Chloe Anne Hasell: I always make sure I have my extensions cut to blend well with my natural hair, along with smooth curls to style :)

kelsey reay: I've been using extensions for around 5 years now. Everyone compliments me on my long, and very few guess they're extensions. I believe that the key to getting natural looking extensions is to firstly get a good colour match. make sure that the clips are placed close to the top of the section as possible and leave a good amount of hair on top to cover the tracks. I also find curling helps with the blending process.

GinaLucie44: I find that curling/waving hair makes it blend a lot better! I also pin up any short bits of my natural hair with bobby pins :) xxx

Brittany Andring: To make mine look natural, I definitely curl them so that they all blend and I tease them a little bit so they don't look too perfect! I hope I win the contest! I've been wanting to try this brand forever! :D

Beth-Juanita Young: I've found the best way of making my extensions look natural is to curl them or wave them and toss them around with your natural hair. Another good tip for girls with short to medium length hair is to get your extensions layered slightly to fit with the layer of your own hair, I've done this and I love it!

Jenny S: Shade matching, layering, and styling are definitely the most important keys when choosing hair extensions, but I think the best kept secrets for creating them to blend in seamlessly with your own hair is properly applying them, and to work within the same thickness/texture and length that will complement your current hair. Furthermore, caring for and maintaining your own hair health's creates a good and more manageable base for the extensions adhere to.  

Layla Priest: The best way I think to make your hair extensions look natural is to ensure that (firstly - you're hair extensions blend naturally in to your hair! by either picking colours that match your hair , or that you know will go gorgeous with the colour you have ) - I think that the dirty looks website helps you know what colour is the perfect match! Then knowing what length to get - if your hair is really short you're lucky, because it will look like layers and blend perfectly! However if you have medium length hair , I recommend getting hair extensions getting either a deluxe set of extensions that will not only thicken your hair , make it impossible to show when your real hair stops and your fake hair starts! If this is out of your price range then get extensions the same length as your hair (or as close as). I'd also recommend making sure when putting your extensions in you cover your whole head (especially if the colour is used to blend e.g. look like highlights)! Also i think backcombing your real hair (slightly, we don't want a bush on your head!) which falls on top of your extensions is a great way of hiding the clips and making your extensions look like they fall naturally from your gorgeous head! I think care for extensions is also massively important it is vital to know that THEY NEED TLC just as much as your real hair shampoo and condition! Make sure these stay tat free and as gorgeous as your real hair! Head protection is also vital if you straighten and style a lot! (bed head products really do work amazingly!)  

Tarrre: I've dyed my hair and extensions bright purple and sometimes it's hard to blend them, because it's semi-dye so it gets lighter after each wash. I like to curl everything with a thin wand and blend it all together so it looks like a light to dark purple ombre, until I dye my hair again haha!

Kalah Branch: I definitely make sure to blend in my extensions the best way possible. First by selecting the correct shade but also i find extensions with textures that match my natural hair more. I also try and purchase the best products for shampooing and conditioning the extensions so that way i can restore that feeling as if they were brand new. 

Charlie Francis: My favourite way to make your hair extensions look natural is a french plait or fish tail to the side put you hair extensions in, start plaiting your natural hair and including the extensions as you go along. Plaits are really on trend at the moment too!

Giovanna Toaldo: The best way to make your hair extensions look natural is to find the perfect shade, the number of the grams, and I always hide the short layers at the bottom of my head with bobby pins, so I won't show any shorts layers at all :)

T King: Awesome video!! a way to make it look natural is to get the closet shade to your natural hair and it will be easier to blend them in.

Becky Watson: My favourite tip for making hair extensions look more natural has to be curling them in with your own hair x

sophie clifford: I find there are many ways to make your hair exstentions blend. The first would be to get the closet colour match you can. Getting them cut in at a salon would be a great help! But if all else fails i find curling them works but id be careful not to curl them all the time as it will slowly damage your exstentions (make sure you use heat spray!) Maybe clipping them in your hair in a certain way may help to? Use the small pieces in your pack and clip them in the front at an angle. Also wearing your hair in different styles might work, with my own for example, i sometimes clip half my hair up and leave most the hair exstentions down. Hope this helps for some people and i hope i win dirty looks, already had one set, would be amazing to win some!:D xox

Jessica Jayne: Ensure you have texture products in your hair to help give it a boost, part your hair into sections and back comb the area before applying extensions, this helps give the hair volume as otherwise it will look too flat. Ensuring the extensions are in good condition and brushed through with your own hair. Never get straight cut extensions if you have layered hair this will never work

Reah Scrivener: The best way I blend my HK extensions is to brush with all my hair then curl them with them in or for a straight look I will pin all my hair to the sides for a half up half down look :)

Creepy Layla: Washing the extensions to remove the conditioning products helps blend the texture of extensions with your own hair, as no one really has hair that damn silky! It also stops them being so 'pin straight', which then diffuses the 'join' between your own hair & your extensions. Xx 

Mattea Brice: I believe curling your hair and then tossing it with the rest if your natural hair is a great way to help your extensions blend! Especially when the extensions are very natural looking and resemble your natural hair color and texture!

Lamara McBride: If you want the perfect match pick your ideal hair extensions colour and take them to the salon and ask for a colour match - perfect results, also ask for your extensions layering if your hair is layered too!

Mercedes LaCroix: whenever i curl my hair with the extensions, i always curl it with the extensions it it makes it look more realistic to me(:

Annaloa Hilmarsdottir: I used to comb the top part of my hair forward, attach the hair extension at the back and lightly back comb the top hair over the hairpiece and comb the ends of my real hair into it.  A bit of hairspray and some cleverly concealed hairpins and you're all set to go. 

Strawberry Kissys: That video was soo helpful,learnt a lot I didn't know.. Those tips are deffo going to be useful in the future! :) I went to the hairdressers about 4 years ago asking if they could cut my hair so that when I put extensions in it would look more natural.. And I seriously regret it. She cut my hair into horrible layers and the ones at the top were so short it just looked awful! :( and because I dye my hair blonde it's not in the best condition meaning even now the layers haven't grew out much, but I have found a way to help a little. To make my extensions look natural and hide those tacky layers i clip them in as close I can to my roots without them being seen. This means that my extensions are basically covering all my hair meaning all the layers! Although there are sometimes a few bits of hair that hang down that you can see from underneath which takes away from the natural look, so I find plaiting them and then clipping them round at the back of your neck is the best thing to do.. Out of sight! :) Hope you guys find this useful if you ever get a bad hair cut lol! Xx

Joanna Gracie: I got my hairdresser to slightly layer my old extensions so they blended with my hairstyle and looked more natural :)

Amy Rotheram: Definitely make sure that the shade is like your hair colour, dirty looks are brilliant especially since I'm blonde it can be hard but shade matcher is brilliant. Also using the smaller clips clip them round the front as you can angle them in anyway you want much easier as blending the front can be very difficult.. hope this helps people my friend has dirty looks I've used them as well and would love to win a set!! xxx

Lauren Roberjot: I find that to make my extensions look as natural as possible, the best way is to apply them in first of all and then curl them in with my natural hair as my hair is always a natural wave it's hard to make it look perfect. I also find then when I've had a fresh cut my hair stands out more underneath so to overcome it, I clip all my hair up first and plait a thin layer of hair at the bottom/back of my head and clip it across, and then attach my extensions to it, to get rid of any issue I have with blending! I then attach them all appropriately and curl them how I want! I sometimes find that clipping the front of my hair up or with a hair band slightly ruffled up gives it a more natural look!

Alice Sanz: I find having your natural hair cut with a feathered finish as opposed to a 'blunt' cut really helps blend in your hair extensions, as the blunter the bottom of your hair, the more of an apparent 'line' it gives between your real hair and extension hair. So I would always recommend making sure you have a natural hair cut that compliments your extensions :) 

Kathryn Chidwick: I find if you curl them along with your hair using a large barrel tong then lightly smooth out the curls with your hands or brush they blend well :)

Jacqueline Roberts: I think hair extensions look better when they are not that much longer than your real hair. Yours looks fantastic x

nina carter: I believe straightening your hair in with your extensions makes your hair look so natural and seamless.

Dionne Murray: I have blonde hair now and it's slightly darker at the ends and it's hard to make extensions look natural so I just got a mix of dark blonde and light blonde ones and i also like to tie the fronts of my hair at the back in braides to help cover any clips as my hair is pretty thin. Most people can't even tell i'm wearing extensions, another tip i also don't have them too long i like to keep them waist length looks a little more natural :) xx

Kathy McCarthy: I love these tips ❤️

Kayla Mackenzie: Wait is there a hair tutorial for how you curled your hair like this it's perfection

Pepper Martin Walker: Careful cleaning. Be sure to keep them clean but not overly. Makes them blend with your natural hair much more easily

Tracey Anne Gwynne: I find the best way to blend is to stick with the style of your hair. I have very thin hair, so I only use a few thin wefts, otherwise it looks like I suddenly have to much hair and it doesn't look natural.

Kateri Smith: Start clipping the extensions from the nape of the neck to the crown, clip individuals on the side under the bangs in the front. I have fine hair, so using more rows is more natural looking for me as it gives my hair fullness! If you just add extensions underneath and only on the bottom and none through the top I can ALWAYS tell, has a "mullet-ish" look...also adding some waves with a 3 barrel or wand help to look more natural...

Cathleen Freeman-Pask: A good haircut is my best tip for making hair extensions look natural! :)

Guro Dagsgard: I think the best way to make hair extensions look natural is to of course wear HK hair extensions and curl them while they're clipped in your hair!

Rebecca Green: to make hair extensions look natural, i would get the closest colour and then use layers

Sophie Michael: I find the best way to get extensions to look natural is to have them trimmed and blended in your hair and then wave them with a large barrelled wand!

Danika: Best way to make them look natural (besides accurate color of course) is by point cutting the end to make them blend better!!

Sylvia Gill: First get the correct colour match for your hair, I have previously dyed them in order to do this. then straighten them and if possible get your hairdresser to cut long layers. I backcomb where I want them to go, clip them in then comb real hair over to hide and use hairspray to finish, some days are better than others and practice makes perfect !

Twiddle Dee: I'd love to try hair extensions as my hair is so thin :( x

Sidney Zimmer: I find curling my hair with my extensions help it blend better with my short hair

Chely Margarita: I got hair extensions that were thinner than the thickness of my own shoulder-length almost-blunt-cut lob-type hair. I should've gotten a 220 gram set, but I got a 160 gram set bc I didn't know. I fix this by taking the 3 bottom sections & tying them back like you did with your bottom section. Is there anything else you recommend? Besides buying another set? Lol

Kristen S.: THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THESE BEAUTIFUL YOU'RE PHENOMENAL XXX

Inna Rodionova: Adding extra volume on the sides to make sure the front layers don't show out!!

【Sƚҽϝϝ🌎✌️】: Hello I've been looking to get extensions recently due to a bad salon experience. My hair is now super short approximately 3 inches in the back. I've been emailing the Dirty looks customer service back and forth but I don't seem to be getting anywhere. I was wondering what set would blend best with such short hair??

Glitz and Glamour Makeup: the length part was really involved and helpful

MEGGO YOUR EGGO: Do these extensions work for African American hair and how many would you need if your hair grow medium length in the front but long in the back?

Tali Jahsel: There are many ways to make your extensions look natural if you know what you're doing. If you have short hair and you purchase 18+ inches of extensions your look will be off without making them look proper. When you put in your first track of extensions you can clip up against the hair on the back of your head, that way that track of extension gives off the illusion that your actual hair is that length. If you have layers, it is best to go to a salon and ask them to layer your extensions. Now with coloring, find the color that matches your hair, or if you prefer to have your hair an unnatural color, try to shower with your extensions still on so when you shampoo your hair/extensions will be the same.

Shawna Maddy: It's all about blending for me (:

livee28: The way to make hair extension look natural. Email dirtylooks/headkandy and send them a pic of your hair and they will email you with a shade that fits your hair color. I treat my headkandy extensions like my own hair. I shower with them and let them air dry and comb them once hey are dry from bottom to top lightly.

Keysia Colenburg: I think the length part was really helpful I have seen a lot of girls that alway have their extentions in to long and it Doesn't look good

Anneka Hulse: I find matching the true color really works 

Russel Jacobs: You actually can see your weft in the mirror. It is sticking out.
