Short hair, or longer hair – that is the eternal question that women struggle with when it comes to hairstyles of their choice! However, times have changed and it is no longer necessary for us to have to commit to just one style! If it is your desire to cut your hair short, you must not deprive yourself of the pleasure of doing so anymore, as ITIPS Extensions can very well come to your rescue. In fact, the Itips Extensions come in handy for those times when you have excessively damaged hair, or an accident in the styling department, or even for patients of alopecia and other baldness causing diseases.

This article is a guide to the uses of the Itips Extensions, so read on ahead!

How to go about it

Extensions actually work best in hair that is fairly voluminous when short. The density of the shortest part of your hair is where you should consider the length and volume of the extension you intend to use. The fact is that you would want your Itips Extensions to be completely concealed and blending in with your natural hair. Some prefer to color and highlight their extensions to achieve a natural look with tactfully placed highlights. Another important point to factor in is to use ITips Extensions of the same texture as your natural hair for best results.

How Do ITIPS Extensions work?

Itips are synonymous with stick tip and micro ring hair extensions. These are the newest innovation in the field of hair extensions and consist of hair strands that are glued together at the tip. This is by far, the safest way to achieve perfect hair extensions with minimal damage. There is no involvement of heat in installing Itips hair extensions, and only through a micro ring, these extensions can attach to your hairline and create volume and texture only seen on celebrities.

What you need for this method of application for Itips Extensions is a hair hook tool, and hair pliers. Once the links are fit flatly against your scalp, they become airy and weightless, adding only volume and length, without any of the discomfort. First, the hair hooking tool is used to pull a small strand of natural hair through the ring, and then, the ring is tightened to give it a natural finish.

The most wonderful part of this is that the links come in various colors to be easily concealed between your hair.

How long can ITIPS Extensions last?

The Itips Extensions are the longest lasting type of hair extensions available in the market right now. These extensions are durable if maintained well.

So, how do you get rid of them? You simply let your hair grow out! As your hair grows out and gets longer, the micro-links are positioned lower in the lengths of your hair, and can be removed thereafter. It is recommended, that for the longest lasting look, you should move the Itips extension links back up to the base of your scalp every six to eight weeks. This, unfortunately, has to be done by a professional who is experienced in the work.

You may wonder how to have these Itips hair extensions removed completely, in case you change your mind. The answer to this question is that you can have them removed before the hair grows out, but will need a professional for this as well. This is a lengthy process and each ring has to be unclasped individually.

Hair health after Itips Extensions?

The health of your hair will be relatively undamaged after using these hair extensions.

However, there will be a sizably large amount of build-up of shampoo, conditioners, and hair products that will have accumulated behind the micro-links. A lot of hair shedding can also be expected if the extensions are allowed to remain in your hair for over a month, and this is nothing to be alarmed about. So if you see a lot of hair-fall immediately after having the extensions removed, do not be alarmed.

Conclusion

The use of Itips Extensions is becoming more and more prevalent as the best method to style hair as these give long term solutions. However, these extensions do need some amount of professional maintenance and care. These are perfect for women with short hair who are looking for a dramatic, but relatively short term transformation, and are completely heat free to install!
