If nature has not endowed you with long, shining, thick locks, you can still have them. For many years only performers and the wealthy had access to extensions. Check out these different extension styles to determine which might be the best for you.
Salon Extensions
Extensions are strands of hair that are skillfully placed, giving the appearance of a fuller or longer head of hair. They can be made of a synthetic or human hair and are glued into place, lasting about two to three months. Your stylist will help you choose a color that matches or complements your own natural hair and will then order them for you. When they arrive, your salon will call you to set up an appointment to have them attached. Plan on a visit that lasts from one to six hours if your stylist is experienced with hair extensions. Removal takes about an hour or two. Styling your hair with extensions is just about the same as without; just be sure to be gentle when brushing.
Clip-on Extensions
If the high cost of extensions has kept you from taking the leap, consider clip-on extensions. A good set of human hair clip-on extensions can cost as little as $60. The name of the product is perfectly descriptive. Each set of strands is attached to a tiny clip. By clipping the strands discreetly hidden under your own hair, you can have a full head of hair that matches the beauty of salon applied extensions. Most women who choose to use clip-on extensions have them trimmed by their stylist. Simply attach your extensions and go to your appointment.
Extensions can greatly enhance the look of your hair style and your pride in your appearance. Be sure to chat with your stylist about the many options available before you make your final decision.
