Hair styling has taken a new twist, with curls and streaks gaining prominence. For those suffering from hair loss, hair extensions are the new trend. They are a quick fix solution to your hair woes.
Strand by strand
Hair extensions are lengths of either real or synthetic hair that can be affixed close to the scalp through a number of systems. These methods are great for concealing thinning or hair loss in concentrated areas.
When well matched in colour and texture, and professionally applied by trained professionals, hair extensions mix in and move naturally with your own hair. They can provide volume, extend hair and add highlights or lowlights without the harshness of colouring your real hair.
Some extensions can be worn continuously for up to 5 months. Hair extensions come in many colours, textures, styles and lengths to match any hair type. Natural or human hair extensions can be coloured, set, curled or treated. If you don't want your extensions at some point in time, you can head back to the salon and have them removed.
How it's done
Invisible hair weaving is a new method of extension that uses no braids or glue to attach the commercial hair to the natural hair. The attachment is virtually invisible to the eye. Hair extensions are made from a range of human and synthetic fibers. Synthetic hair in general is less expensive than human hair, and is available in a wide array of colours and textures, from natural to extraordinary.
