in barrettes, you can attach these extensions. It is a quick and easy process to ensure the pressure-clips on all edges of the hairpiece are securely fastened. Curl and colour have been baked into the hair extensions so you can be sure you will not see fading or drooping. If you are choosing synthetic hair, note that these types of extensions cannot be blown dry, flat-ironed, or have any type of heat applied to them. They are meant to be used as they appear so you may want to purchase both a straight and a wavy piece if they are synthetic. The 100% human hair pieces can be washed, blow-dried, permed, curled, flat-ironed and styled as you would your own hair.

Care For Your New Hair

Synthetic hair does have the look and feel of human hair so you can still achieve believable looks with the less expensive of the two types of extensions, but if you have the money, the human hair gives you that little extra quality and more styling options.
With either piece, wash hair after every few wears with a light shampoo in warm-to-cool water, finger comb, and lay flat to dry. Your new hair pieces should be treated like cashmere sweater.

The next time you see Jessica Simpson-or any celebrity for that matter-with a hairstyle you want, you will be able to be your own stylist and achieve the same look. Pretty soon, you will be the person people are trying to copy.
