1. Curl the extensions with your natural hair

This is a great hack, just take a piece of your own hair and a piece of hair from the extensions and curl these extensions. This will help blur the line of your hair from the extensions. That way when you brush your hair out, it will flow seamlessly into the extensions.

2. Choose the right color

When installing hair extensions, you should choose matching the color to your hair, or you can opt for a different color. You can even blend two colors. When it comes to short hair, it can be easier to go with a lighter color than your natural color. This will help to blend the extensions in more easily.

3. Blend the side

A common mistake that people make when trying to hide hair extensions is blending out the ends. They fail to realize that blending out the ends doesn’t help blend in your extensions.

For example, many people choose to install an entire head of hair extensions, which can be too much hair. This is a common mistake because we all have sucked into the idea that having more hair is always better. However, this can be very unaesthetic, even worse on short hair. It’s better to choose the right number of wefts that you think will look good on your head. If you have very short hair, you can go with just one.
