Hair Extension Mistakes to Avoid


Getting the perfect look with hair extensions can be a total game-changer if you avoid a few common slip-ups. Whether you’re a pro or new to the hair extension game, keeping these in mind will save you time and make your mane look flawless.



1. Choosing the Wrong Colour

The number one mistake? Extensions that don't blend. Make sure you’re matching the extensions to your hair’s undertones, not just the surface colour. If in doubt, consult a stylist or ask for a sample before you commit. You can also grab a few test colour samples on the Medusa website HERE

2. Not Prepping Your Hair

Skipping prep means your extensions won’t hold as well, leading to discomfort or a less natural look. Make sure your hair is clean, tangle-free, and dry before applying your extensions for a seamless finish.

3. Overloading on Extensions

It’s tempting to go all out, but too much volume can actually put strain on your scalp and make your look feel heavy. Less is often more when it comes to creating a natural, effortless vibe.


Avoid these simple mistakes, and you'll be looking gorgeous in no time! With a little care and the right technique, hair extensions can blend seamlessly into your everyday style.
