THE IMPORTANCE OF HAIR

Hair Extensions for women can be compared to a cosmetic surgery procedure in that it can greatly enhance a person’s appearance making them feel more confident and happier with their overall appearance.

Hair Extensions when applied in a safe fashion by a competent technician are a fantastic style option that can turn even the limpest locks into a glorious fashion accessory.

Hair Extensions can be a fantastic boost for fine or thinning hair but they can also be a disaster, so if you have decided to get hair extensions service and you have thinning or fine hair you have to be thorough when researching the hair extension techniques that interest you. Avoid cheap hair extensions and visit a hair extension expert who can work their magic on your hair.

WORKING WITH THE NATURAL HAIR FALL AND GROWTH CYCLE

The hair extensions you choose must be designed to work with your natural hair cycle; if your hair extensions are not temporary then it is essential that the hair extension attachment can stay safely anchored over time without putting extra strain on the natural hair as your hair periodically sheds. Some hair extensions need to be replaced as the natural hair sheds, whilst some hair extensions require top-up (maintenance appointments) to counteract the deterioration of the hair extension attachments. If your hair extensions will need maintenance over time, remember to factor this into your hair extensions cost, otherwise you may find your hair extension service might not fit your budget in the long term.

HAIR EXTENSIONS ON FINE/ THINNING HAIR

Firstly, it is important for you to define whether your hair is fine or thinning. If your hair is fine then it may be your hair simply has a low density or that your hair shaft diameter is smaller than average. If your hair is fine it is important that the individual hair extension attachments are able to be varied to suit your personal needs.

Example; Pre Bonded Hair Extensions are only available in predetermined sections, although your hair extension technician can adjust the section sizes slightly (by cutting the bond in half) it will still not be tailored to your own individual hair density.

If your hair is thinning, it is important to try and ascertain why. Thinning hair can be a result of a poor diet, stress or simply a natural part of the aging process. Sometimes women think their hair is thinning when in actual fact their hair is breaking as a result of chemical treatments like colouring or hair straightening or excessive heat damage. The gradual loss of density can lead women to believe that their hair is thinning when in fact the hair shaft strength has been seriously compromised. Ensure that if your hair is thinning, you can at the very least stabilize this type of hair loss, as over time innaproppiate hair extensions can exacerbate the problem. Address the problem by visiting a Trichologist or your doctor to ascertain the cause of hair loss, rather than ignoring the problem as thinning hair, in its early stages, has a better chance of recovery.
