How to Blend Long Extensions with Short Hair?

Okay, so now you have your extensions - let’s talk about how to seamlessly blend those long extensions into your short hair. Here’s the trick to creating a flawless, natural look where your extensions and short hair come together effortlessly:

1. Prep Your Hair

Start with clean, dry hair. Gently detangle any knots or tangles, and then decide on your sectioning strategy. To get the most natural look, divide your hair into sections, which helps to distribute the extensions evenly. Make sure to leave a layer of natural hair at the top to cover the tracks of the extensions.

2. Choose the Right Length and Volume

When applying extensions, ensure that the length of the extensions matches your desired style. For short to long hair extensions, you might need to layer the extensions to create a seamless blend. 

3. Style to Perfection

Once the extensions are in place, it’s time to blend them. Style your natural hair and extensions together using a curling iron or flat iron for a seamless, blended look. Soft curls or waves help create a natural transition between the two. 

4. Finishing Touches

After you’ve blended everything together, finish with a light hairspray or serum to keep your style in place without weighing it down. For extra shine and smoothness, consider using a leave-in conditioner or hair oil.

How to Curl Long Extensions with Short Hair?

Curling long extensions with short hair can seem tricky, but with the right technique, you can achieve a natural, blended look. Here’s how to do it:

  • Step 1: Start by curling your natural hair with a curling iron or wand. Keep the curls loose for a more natural blend with your extensions.

  • Step 2: Apply a heat protectant to your extensions before curling them.

  • Step 3: Curl your extensions in the same direction as your natural hair to ensure they blend seamlessly.

  • Step 4: Once both your natural hair and extensions are curled, gently brush them out with a wide-toothed comb for a smooth finish.

  • Step 5: Finish with a light hairspray to hold the curls in place without weighing them down.
