Add Length and Style With Hair Extensions
Hair extensions come in a variety of types including bulk hair, yarn, plastic, falls and CyberLox. If you select a synthetic hair then you will probably getting hair made from Kanekalon or Toyokalon. For the best look you should use human hair, however, if you can't afford human hair extensions then there are several high quality synthetic hair extensions available.
There are several ways to attach hair extensions to your natural hair. The first way is to use a stand by strand method. This method usually will last about 6 months before it will need to be redone. If you don't want the extensions to last this long you can use alternative attachment methods like: net weaves, the Malaysian technique, Keratene bonding, sew-in or bonding.
When you shop for hair extensions you have several options. First you can buy bulk hair. Bulk hair is made up of loose strands in a variety of lengths. You take this hair to your weaveologist to get it attached to your natural hair. Falls are another type of hair extension that you can buy. These are the easiest to apply and remove. This type of hair extension comes as a pony tail or attached to a hair comb. To attach these hair extensions your simply tie it to your own hair or insert the hair comb into your hair where you want add fullness.
Your hair extensions will be applied randomly in rows throughout the rock bottom of your hairline. They're applied directly to your own hair (hence we warn about them pulling on your hair, promoting further bald patches/hair loss). Once they are attached to your hair, you can wash your hair and style it as if the extensions were your actual hair.
There are a positives and negatives on hair extensions. The positives appear to out weight the negatives.
Positive Reasons for Hair Extensions
Thin Hair? Go to your local salon for hair extensions. A few hours later, you'll walk out with a full thick head of natural looking hair.
If you keep your hair short while of your thinning hair--this is your opportunity to have long hair. Put it up or leave it down. The option is yours!
Up for a drastic change? Give yourself a total make-over with a new color and longer hair.
Negatives? Perhaps
If you're thinking about hair extensions, you should do your homework. High quality extensions can cost anywhere from several hundred dollars into the thousands. We know, WOW. That's a pretty hefty price tag to pay every three months (maybe sooner!).
If you're already thinning from hair dyes, perms, or long hair that was worn too tightly--hair extensions may promote further damage. You should consult with your beautician before deciding if extensions are right for you. Explain your situation and any trepidations you may have. If you're experiencing hair loss--you must discuss these details. Your beautician may have an entirely strange solution!
