Hair Extensions: Hair Fit For A Princess
Billions of people all around the world tuned in to watch Kate Middleton walk down the aisle to marry Prince William last week. As well as being a great royal occasion for the whole country, the ceremony also sparked women from all over the world to lust after Kate’s gorgeous long locks. Women are walking into salons the world over asking for the “Kate” look in a bid to look like the princess. The “Kate” look consists of luxurious, bouncy locks that shine with health and form effortless gorgeous waves.
Kate’s hair style has sparked a wave in natural, elegant styles but whilst some lucky women like Kate are blessed with naturally long, thick, bouncy locks, others of us who are not so fortunate have to cheat a bit. This is where hair extensions are a lifesaver for women all across the world.
Hair extensions are the modern woman’s way of achieving the hair of their dreams. Hair extensions have come a long way since they first came on the scene, now you have the luxury of choosing from a range of different hair types of varying qualities and numerous different application techniques. Some hair extensions are better than others and if you want to nail the natural look a la Kate, then you should get the very best quality that you can afford.
Hair extensions fall into two major categories: real human hair and synthetic hair. Synthetic hair is cheaper but the down side with this type of hair is that it doesn’t always look that natural. The trick with hair extensions is to achieve a look that looks as natural as possible so that no-one ever need know that all the hair isn’t your own. You don’t want your locks to look fake or mismatched as this defeats the object of having extensions in the first place. Synthetic hair is often quite hard to style but once it is styled it does hold very well. The advantage of having human hair extensions is that this hair looks and behaves like your own. You can style it, wash it, brush it and even colour it to suit your style and it will look bouncy and beautiful.
If you can afford to buy human hair then you should as you won’t regret it. There are many different qualities of human hair available and you should always try to get the best possible. The highest quality hair will be of virgin quality meaning that it will be in beautiful condition having never been coloured, treated or had any sort of heat damage inflicted on it. This type of hair looks the most real and will give the best results.
Next you need to decide which application method you are going to have. This will largely be influenced by your budget, preferences and lifestyle. Your stylist will talk through all these issues to make sure that the application method suits you. Application methods include single strand application and weft as the two most popular and within these there are glue methods, fusion methods, bonding and many more. New technologies are being developed all the time to make hair extensions look better, last longer and to speed up the application method.
Once you have had your hair extensions fitted, it is important to look after them properly. This involves following all after care advice and keeping up with maintenance.
Hair extensions are great if you want to change your look. Your long, bouncy locks will be the envy of all your friends, just like Kate’s are!
