Hair extensions were first practised back in the 1980’s, but were cast aside until recent years due to a lack of developed methods. They are actually pieces of hair that can be attached to your natural hair or scalp and they add to the thickness of your hair or the length. Understanding a little about hair extensions could spare you time and cash, particularly with all the various styles and fashions available in recent times. Just about everybody prefers natural human extensions as they’re generally easier to take care of than others out there.
They come in all kinds of varieties and can be pre-coloured, pre-highlighted or pre-permed with curls or a body wave. Depending on the method of applying them, you may need to have your hair extension re-applied after six or eight weeks, or they might last up to four months. Re-attaching is generally required because our natural hair continues to grow, the bonding agent becomes loose, life happens, and you’ll need to re-adjust and maintain your hair’s appearance.
Hair extensions can be applied in a variety of ways depending on your needs and budget. For a fun, inexpensive, and temporary change of style, consider clip in extensions. These can be bought from most hair extensions shops or online stores. Ponytail extensions are popular choices in clip-ins. Though clip-ins are generally not available in subtle colour variations, they can still be purchased in the common shades.
There are a few things you can do to get the most out of your hair extensions. They can be shampooed, styled and brushed the same as your natural hair, but don’t try to alter their colour. This should be done professionally. The most important thing is to be gentle with it so as to increase the life of the bond attaching it and use a soft bristle brush, to brush out tangles from the bottom ends up towards your head. At night, to avoid matting, tie it up or braid it if it’s fairly long, and never sleep with wet or damp hair. Avoid using any silicone-based products or conditioners on the extension where it is bonded to your natural hair, as this will make the bond slip off.
In the society that we live in today it has become second nature to plug a hairdryer, straightener or curling tongs in as part of our daily routine but can these appliances still be used on hair extensions? If your extensions are made from real hair then the answer is, yes you can! However if you are using synthetic hair you shouldn’t be using straightening irons or curling tongs as they can damage the extensions. With regards to the frequency of having hair extensions fitted then providing that your extensions are applied and removed correctly, meaning no damage has been done then you can have your new extensions applied the same day your old ones come out. It is still advisable though, that you give your hair a break once in a while.
