It's safe to use styling tools like blow dryers, curling irons and hot rollers on your hair extensions – just be sure to keep direct heat off the fused bonds that hold the extensions to your real hair to avoid weakening them.

One thing you MUST do is brush daily using a special loop brush. Without regular brushing you can get matting or tangles, which can damage the hair.

Hair extension prices depends on whether you opt for synthetic or human hair. Synthetics can cost up to $US500; real human hair extensions are priced from $750 to $US2,500, depending on the length and amount of strands needed.
