Why Use Hair Extensions?
The hair industry today offers a huge array of styles and colours that we want to try and included in this is using different kinds of hair extensions to achieve these looks. Celebrities especially show us the versatility that hair extensions can give us - one day a short pixie cut and the next long flowing curls. No longer are extensions the luxury of the rich and famous we can all enjoy the versatility of different styles.
Extensions are attached to your hair using a number of methods from individual strands of 0.5 grams to 1 gram of hair being attached using glue, thread, shrinkies or rings to a weft being sown in, using rings, glue or a combination of a couple. Your own hair being mixed in or being braided totally and just having extensions.
There are various reasons to get extensions, but some of the most common are:-
+ If you have poor hair growth and/or damaged hair, extensions can add length, volume and give your natural hair a rest.
+ to get a new look
+ to add bounce
+ add colour without using chemicals
When getting extensions there are some things to keep in mind:-
1) Get your hair extensions put in by a professional, especially the heat fusion methods. They may look easy to do but if you don't know the correct way to apply, maintain and remove the extensions you can end up causing more damage to your hair.
2) If any of the bonds feel tight, always let the technician know so they can loosen that bonds and make the extensions as comfortable to wear as possible and not damage the roots of the hair.
3) Get the best quality extensions you can afford, this isn't about profit it is about the most natural looking and long lasting product. If you don't know about the grading of hair or what the best type is always ask for advice.
4) Remember to care for your natural hair too. This way when you decide to take your extensions out (if ever :-)) your hair has been replenished by its rest.
There are also a number of types of extensions.
COLOUR
If you want to add colour, highlights, lowlights without the chemical treatment process then hair extensions are great. You can go bold or subtle; primary colours or pastel, the choices are pretty much endless. You can add colour for a short time or for the duration of the extension life without any chemical process on your hair. Also if your hair won't dye a certain shade it doesn't matter, you can still have it.
EXTENDED LENGTH
This is one of the most common uses for extensions.to add length to your natural hair. With modern methods you are no longer required to have longer hair, a skilled technician can add extensions to even a short bob or a long pixie cut.
WEFT EXTENSIONS
To add volume and thickness to hair that is naturally thin and light; weft, especially the LA Weave, adds this much desired volume. You may have always wanted a particular style, but couldn't try it due to your thin hair. All that is over now.
SHORT EXTENSIONS
Like I mentioned above, hair extensions can now be added to short hair to give you a new style, from long to asymmetrical, angular, longer sweeping fringe, height and volume to a graduated bob. You name it and you can most likely have it.
So no matter what you want long term, short term, revolutionary change of style there is an extension for you.
You're hair style is not limited by your hair, your only limitation is your imagination.
