I want Hair Extensions - what do you recommend?
Hair extensions have been seen on every self respecting celebrity possible over the last few years and they are showing no sign of shifting. It is thanks to the fact that extensions have been used by so many celebrities that they are now widely available to us everyday people.
Salons all across the UK now offer extensions to anyone and everyone! Extensions are thankfully a hair trend that isn’t limited to the world of celebrity. Also thanks to the growth in popularity when it comes to extensions they are now available in a range of styles and can be attached in a variety of ways so no matter what style, condition or colour your natural hair is you will be able to enjoy all of the benefits that having extensions applied can bring!
Before you can however even contemplate booking an appointment to get your extensions applied you need to make sure that you have made several decisions about what you want from them. These decisions include aspects such as the length you want your extensions to be, they can be any length up to around 24" but most salons will advise you to try and not go longer than 18". You also need to decide what colour you are going to choose for them; remember it is important that you choose a colour that is most suited to your natural hair so that they can be blended in to match it easier.
Once you have made decisions such as the above it is a good idea to book a consultation with your stylist so that you can discuss what attachment methods are best for your extensions and so you can decide what type of hair should be used. These are important when it comes to ensuring that you get the most out of your extensions and so that you make sure the ones you decide on are best suited to your hair type.
During your consultation with your stylist you will be informed about the different forms of hair that can be used for your extensions. The two main prime examples are human or synthetic fibres. Synthetic fibres are generally less expensive than human hair and comes in a bigger range of colours and textures. However out of these two types it is always human hair that comes as the most recommended. The decision about which ones to use is up to you but with synthetic fibres you will struggle when it comes to styling your hair as you are restricted when it comes to using heat on them so you may not be able to use straighteners or curling tongs as they could potentially melt the synthetic fibres.
With human hair you can get what are known as different grades and these are generally sourced from places such as India, China and Eastern European countries. Once you and your stylist have decided which form of extension is best you can move onto the next decision, which is what form of attachment method you are going to opt for. The main forms of attachment that you can choose from are glued, bonded, wefts and clip in.
All of the decisions that you make when it comes to your hair extensions should be made with the help of your stylist. So if you are interested in gaining hair extensions book yourself a consultation appointment today!
