What You Should Know About Hair Extensions

Hair extensions can add a lot to your appearance. Stylish human hair extensions are available in the market that can augment your wardrobe to a great extent. If you want to have beautiful, voluminous hair, use a hair extension of good quality. There are 2 basic processes of applying the extensions namely: individual strand extensions and wefts.

Individual Strand Extensions

In this process, small amounts of the hair extension are taken and then applied to particular areas of your hair. The application could be done through weaving, gluing, heat fusing or clamping with the help of polymer, wax or metal rods. Other than clamping, the rest of the techniques require covering your hair with a substance made of chemical elements. This type of human hair extensions do not last very long. After using them for a couple of months, you will find that you will have to replace them with new ones.

Wefts

Wefts are easy to apply. These hair extensions have an appearance similar to that of curtains. They are joined at the top and flared at the bottom. They come in two varieties – handmade and machine made. The latter can be cut according to your desired size and have continuous widths. They are applied with the help of clips or small braids made by sewing them. Handmade wefts that come from Europe provide a very realistic look. Virgin or raw hair weft, made in Europe, can bring a beautiful, natural look to your hair. But it is incredibly expensive and rare.

There are various qualities of hair extensions which determine how natural they will look and how long they will last.

Apart from quality, you have to keep in mind the hair extension cost. A lot depends on the price you pay to enhance your appearance.

However, be wary of fake promises and products offered by seedy salons and questionable ‘beauty experts’. The best and safest way to go about is to do your own research. Search the Internet. It is a vast source of information and it can provide extremely useful advice as well. Visit websites of companies that have years of goodwill and scores of satisfied clients.
