A Beginner’s Guide to Hair Extensions for Men


As you probably already know, hair extensions are not only for women. Men’s hair extensions are becoming more and more popular, mainly because they provide them with a boost of confidence, as well as help them achieve the look that they want to have.


However, when it comes to knowing what to do with hair extensions as a man, choosing the best types is only the beginning – and the hard part -, especially if you don’t have a friend that you can rely on to tell you more about extensions. Therefore, in the following article, we’ll provide you with a beginner’s guide to hair extensions for men. Let’s begin!


How to choose the right extensions

Naturally, an essential thing that you must take into account is the color of your future extensions. Keep in mind that you may have a hard time finding a color match for you.


Still, even when that happens, you shouldn’t worry. If needed, you can dye your hair to match the color of the extensions – or, if you buy high-quality extensions, you could dye them instead.


Contrasting and color

When choosing extensions, don’t try to match their color to your natural one. For example, if you plan on using them as highlights, you’ll have an easier time finding a contrasting color. Moreover, if you feel like you want a bold look, you can also go with brightly colored hair extensions!

Maintenance - Quality

First, it is worth mentioning that hair extensions require quite a lot of maintenance. You may have to buy yourself special shampoos, brushes, as well as conditioners designed especially for extensions.


In short, you won’t have it easy trying to achieve the look that you want. Moreover, the quality of the extensions is essential as well.


For example, if you want to blow dry your extensions, you’ll need to buy some made from thermofiber or monofiber so that they withstand the heat. On the other hand, high-quality extensions won’t tangle as much and may require less maintenance, while low-quality ones will have to be replaced more often.


Putting them on/in

If you’re a first-timer, you should have a professional put your extensions in – this depends on the type of extensions that you want to use as well. For example, if you want to conceal thinning hair, then you will have to rely on permanent extensions that are woven directly into the hair – mainly because they do a better job than clip-on extensions. However, permanent extensions come with a difficult install process – which is why you should rely on a pro.


The bottom line

Overall, approaching hair extensions as a man is not something that you should either avoid or consider too difficult. You can check our mens hair extensions process here:
