Should you choose to get Human Hair Extensions?

When it comes to hair extensions they have severely advanced since they first arrived on the scene back in the 1980's. On their first arrival they were simply dismissed as a fad, which at the time came as no surprise as the quality, choice and application was of very poor standards. In our day and age however, the methods, style and choice that are involved in extensions has sky rocketed. A skilled stylist can now choose hair extensions that are virtually indistinguishable from your own locks. They are now also available in human hair as oppose to just synthetic materials and trust me, out of the two you will want to be opting for human hair extensions.

The benefits that are associated with human hair extensions just keep on coming, for one they can be styled after they have been applied, which enables high flexibility and naturalness within your daily style. They are also a lot easier to look after. The reason that I say this is down to the fact that there is no need to treat your extra length any differently to your natural locks; even a trained eye wouldn’t be able to tell you are wearing them.

They have become extremely popular, especially in the last ten years. The reason for the surge in popularity comes from the fact many celebrities have taken advantage of the added length and volume that they can bring. Celebs such as Jennifer Aniston, Sandra Bullock, and Nicole Kidman have all been spotted sporting them and these are merely just a few of the famous women who have 'faked' it.

The one thing that is very important to remember however is the fact that with human hair there are a number of types that you can opt for, some examples of these are seen below:

Remy - this is when all of the strands are strictly organised with the roots in one direction and the tip to the opposite end. This type of extension is said to last a lot longer than non-remi hair and luckily for you will stay shiny and tangle free a lot longer as well. What is the reason for this? Well it is thanks to the fact every strand of hair is biologically keratinised so the skin cells are organised in layers that overlap one another.

Asian - this is generally course and grows very dark naturally and is also extremely straight. This type of hair is however generally only really suitable if you are Asian and you don't colour your hair.  

The type that you choose comes down to personal choice and what your stylist feels is best for your hair type. So if you are currently on the lookout for human hair extensions book an appointment with your stylist today and start your transformation now!
