Jessica Smpson Hair Extensions, How to Care For Them

Jessica Simpson Hair Extensions are very versatile and can be worn all day, every day or just on special occasions. If you're on the fence about dropping the ching ching on a set you should read this....

If you want to know if Jessica Simpson hair extensions are right for you, read the following questions and answers.

Q. How long does a set of extensions last?

A. Three months for the synthetic extensions and one year for the human hair extensions. Of course, this is with daily wear. It also is dependent upon the proper care and storage of the product. Make sure to read the care instructions on the package for more details.

Q. Will the extensions fall out?

A. No, the hair extensions will not fall out of your hair. There is a chance that they will slip down if they are pulled. However, most of the plastic clips have a rubber coating that is a non-slip grip to prevent slipping with pulling, but they will still slip if pulled hard enough. It is easy to reapply the hair extensions, though. Just reach under your hair and redo the clip. Also, the area of hair where you want to apply the extensions can be teased and then the hair extension can be reapplied.

Q. How can I store my clip–in hair extensions so they stay nice?

A. When storing your hair extensions, they need to be kept clean and dry. Putting the hair extensions in a plastic bag will keep them looking clean, dry, and ready to wear. With every day use, synthetic hair extensions should be washed every four (4) to six (6) wearings and human hair extensions should be washed every three (3) to four (4) wearings. Try not to wash them any more frequently than this. If they are not worn all day and every day, wash the hair extensions when the fibers begin to look dull. Also, if you want to keep human hair extensions wavy, the curl pattern that is wanted needs to be set. Do this by setting the hair extensions on hair rollers that conform to the size of wave wanted before storing them.

Q. So can they be cut?

A. Yes, they can be cut. However, they should be cut by a professional so that they are not messed up as they do not grow back like hair grows : ) The synthetic hair extensions should be cut with a razor to get any layering and fringe that is wanted. The human hair extensions can be cut just like human hair.

Q. Can I Curl My Hair Extensions?

A. It depends on the brand that you buy. Most of the hair extensions have memory that keeps the style. They should be kept away from heat settings, and you may try to set them on curlers without heat, but it is not advisable. There are some brands that allow low heat application, so they can be put on curlers and a blow dryer can be used on the low setting in order to get them to curl. It is not advisable to use a curling iron as they tend to get quite hot.

Q. How should I shampoo my Jessica Simpson Hair Extensions?

A. If you have synthetic hair extensions, use only shampoo that is made for synthetic hair. If you have the human hair extensions, use shampoo that is made for chemically treated hair. These tips also apply for other hair care products, but no more than shampoo should be needed. Remember that no matter if you have synthetic hair extensions or human hair extensions, you need to make sure they are dry before storing them.

Jessica Simpson Hair Extensions: Choosing between clip-in and weave-in

Gotta Have That Jessica Simpson Hair: Weave-In and Clip-In Extensions Can Do the Trick for You

If you are a Jessica Simpson fan, then you are well aware of the fact that she has tried a number of different looks with her hair. She might have had everyone fooled until she went chin-short, just to go long the very next week. This isn't unheard of in the celebrity world, except for the fact that she went short one day just to go super-long the next. What's the secret to this fabulous celebrity hair that Jessica Simpson boasts? Her secret is hair extensions,and hair extensions can be your secret as well.

Now that you know that you have the option of hair extensions to help you get the look that you want, the possibilities are endless. There is one thing that you have to decide before you start putting together hairstyles of all lengths, and that is whether you are going to deal with weave-in or clip-in extensions. clip-in hair extensions are certainly the least expensive but they tend to look better and be easier on the hair, while being better for your hair at the same time. If you aren't worried about how long they will last or anything else and are more worried about getting your hair done in as short a time and budget as possible, you may want to consider clipped in hair extensions.

What is the Difference Between Clip-In and Weave-In Extensions?

Clip in extensions are quickly becoming the extensions of choice for celebrities. Most people wouldn’t really want to have extensions in their hair for only a night unless it was for some special occasion, but that is just what clip in extensions are for. They lengthen the hair and add fullness for a set period of time after which they are easily removed.

Weave in extensions are a bit different. They are supposed to last longer, so it is best to use human hair as it is more easily styled and takes to heat better than most of the synthetic brands of hair out there. Human hair can be dyed beforehand to match the hair on your head if need be, whereas synthetic hair cannot be styled in such a way.

Whether or not you want to deal with clip-in or weave-in extensions is completely up to you. The differences are subtle, but may be important for the event that you have in mind or the look that you are going for. If you really want that Jessica Simpson-esque hair that you have been dreaming of now is the time to get it. So grab some synthetic hair, grab a photo of the former Mrs. Lachey and run to your stylist as fast as you can!
