How Many Flat-Tip Extensions Do You Need for a Full Head?

One of the most difficult parts of the hair extension installation process is deciding how many packs to use. What makes this step so difficult is that there’s no clear cut formula. It will vary depending on your client’s hair thickness, texture, style, and desired end result, as well as the method selected. It’ll also depend on another key consideration: extension spacing. So how do hair extension stylists go about calculating the ideal number of packs, or arranging the perfect hair extension spacing for their clients—particularly for our newest hybrid method (Flat-Tip extensions)? We checked in with pro hair extension stylists Kayla Laumann (@kaylalaumann.hairdesign) and Mallory (Lane) Chafins (@mallorylanesalon) for their take on possible solutions to this problem.

How to Fix Matted Hair Extensions!

Matted hair extensions are a client’s (and stylist’s) worst nightmare. They’re ugly, uncomfortable, painful to untangle, and difficult—if not impossible—to fix. Depending on the level of knotting, matted hair extensions can mean that the hair extensions are ruined, and that the client’s own hair has been damaged, too. But the worst part is the occasional need to chop the hair off to correct the problem, ruining the whole purpose of hair extensions—to add length and volume. So what can be done? Apart from preventive measures, like properly caring for the extensions, brushing hair regularly with a boar hair brush, and...

What’s the Secret to Maintaining Your “After” Look?

We all love a good before & after, especially when we’re talking about our own hair extension transformations. But how do you keep your “after” hair looking as chic and styled as the day you got it?
