Create Instant Beautiful Long Hairstyles with Hair Extensions
The state of our hair very often reflects the state of our
health. Long, silky, healthy hair can radiate beauty, fitness
and youth!
Hair extensions are becoming an increasingly popular way of
instantly getting that long beautiful hair some of us can only
dream of! Growing your hair long takes 5-6 years at an average
of 1 cm per month! Hair extensions can give you around 21 inches
of thick hair in just a few hours!
There are two main types of hair extensions. Hair extensions
can be made out of synthetic fibers and are referred to as
synthetic hair extensions or out of human hair and referred to
as human hair extensions.
Human hair extensions tend to be the preferred kind of hair
extensions because they look and feel a lot more natural then
the synthetic kind. Also, heat cannot be applied to most
synthetic fibers causing some inconvenience if a person needs to
use some hair appliances. The downside of human hair extensions
is that are usually much more expensive then the synthetic ones!
Notwithstanding, there is no fixed price for human hair
extensions because this differs according to the quality, style
and length of extensions required. Hair extensions that are
untreated and uncolored usually cost more because they are more
durable!
A change of hairstyle is often enough to make you look more
sophisticated, younger or simply different. Hair weaves are a
good idea for those who fancy some braids, dreadlocks or simply
a fuller head of hair and a different look! Hair weaves are
another form of hair
extensions and can also be made out of synthetic or natural
hair. There are three types of hair weaves:
(1)Bonded Hair Weave - This is the least durable kind of hair
weave and only lasts 1 month until it would need to be replaced.
This kind of hair weave gets glued to the scalp
(2)Braided Hair Weave - This is a 2 step procedure. The natural
hair is braided along the center of the scalp (under the hair)
and then the hair weave gets sown into the braids. This type of
hair weave normally lasts around 2 months.
(3)Fusion Hair Weave - This is the most lasting kind of hair
weave, since it needs be changed every 3 months. This procedure
involves waxing the hair weave to the natural hair.
Both hair extensions and hair weaves require considerable
maintenance. The hair need to be treated with gentle respect and
cleaned and moisturized daily with a good conditioner. Remember,
that while natural hair gets the necessary oils and moisture
from your scalp, hair extensions and hair weaves don't! Also,
depending on the style and procedure for your hair
extensions/hair weaves, you might also have to visit the
hairdresser every 6 weeks to fix your hair extensions due to
your natural hair re growth.
Whichever kind of hair extension you choose, always consult
your hair specialist for advice, and pick the safest procedure.
Finally, enjoy your beautiful hair!
