Hair Extensions As Hair Replacements
If you have noticed that you are developing bald spots or that your hair is thinning due to alopecia, hormonal changes, medication, etc., then you probably have been looking for anything that would improve the situation you hair is in. The one thing you may not have heard or even thought of for improving your hair are hair extensions. They are traditionally meant for extending the length of your hair, but there are extensions known as filler extensions that are designed to add volume and length.
Can Hair Extensions Damage My Existing Hair?
Some hair extensions can damage your real hair. This is especially true if the one applying them is less than knowledgeable or isn’t proficient with them. Some hair extensions can also be heavy and adding heavy hair extensions on your real hair can put stress on the roots which can cause further damage. This is not to say all hair extensions or applications cause damage. The right extensions applied by an experienced hair stylist can create the look you want without any damage to your existing hair.
What Methods Are Used For Applying Hair Extensions?
There are several different methods used to attach hair extensions. The quickest and least expensive option is the clip-on variety of hair extensions. There are others that are glued to your hair at the root level with a keratin-based adhesive. Then there are those that are attached with a special tape.
Does It Take Long To Get Extensions?
The process of using hair extensions for filling in thin or bald areas of the scalp isn’t long. Yes, you may have heard some Hollywood celebrities tell how they spent over eight hours at a salon to have hair extensions applied but that is not the case at The Hair Studio and Wig Salon where we can apply then, in most cases, in just about two hours because of the type of extensions we use and the skill of our trained hair specialists.
