Find out everything you need to know about Hair Extensions
Hair extensions dont have to be a clich; they arent just limited to models and WAGs; in fact this trend is one of the most versatile styles that you can wear. They are a lot more adaptable than a lot of people tend to give them credit for. For example when you say extensions to someone they will automatically think of unrealistically long hair. Yes length is one of the factors that you can achieve with the use of them however they are also great for adding volume, texture, fringes and curls as well as being a risk free way of experimenting with colour on your hair.
Wearing hair extensions can add a subtle change to your hair as well as changing your appearance to be more sophisticated. Basically with the use of hair extensions you are able to create any look that you have ever wanted. If your hair is too thin to create the perfect up-do then by applying extensions you will be giving your locks the volume that they need to carry off the style in the best possible way. Also if you want a change and feel like expressing yourself through bold colour in your hair but you dont want to use harsh colours to dye your hair then extensions would let you try out different colours in different places without causing any damage that may be associated with bleach etc.
This hair trend has been around for a good few years now and shows no sign of slowing down, especially when some of the top A-list celebs have been and still are sporting them. Mischa Barton, Kate Moss, Angelina Jolie and Kirsten Dunst are just a few of the celebrities that have been sporting this hair trend. They have all used this trend as a way of bringing that little bit extra to places such as the red carpet and the best celeb parties around.
Celebs arent however the only people who are able to get their hands on this trend thankfully, everyday people like you and I are able to take advantage of this trend thanks to the fact it is now widely available from a number of salons all across the UK, just make sure that the salon you visit is trained and experienced in the application and removal of hair extensions.
When it comes to the lifespan of your extensions they will generally last around three to four months but this generally depends on how well you treat them and how much you look after them. By using specialist shampoos, conditioners and masques on your hair extensions you will find that they stay in the best condition for longer.
If you are debating whether or not to have extensions applied then there are a number of factors that you should keep in mind, which includes the following:
You need to ensure you choose a style of extension that matches your natural hair; this includes colour matching your natural locks to them.
You should always ensure you use a soft brush on them.
Attempt to always gently tie your hair up before you go to sleep, this will help to prevent against tangling.
Make sure you never go to sleep when your extensions are wet.
In order to prevent your hair from tangling you should run your fingers between the extensions.
It is also important that you dont use any silicon based products on your extensions as this could lead to the braids slipping.
You shouldnt use extensions that are more than twice the length of your hair and it is important that you dont have them applied below your ear line.
If you are one of the many people who are looking into the idea of having hair extensions applied just make sure that you look into all of the pros and cons of doing so.
