Hair extensions have been around for years and are quite popular. Natural hair pieces can be bought from any reputable hair salon, or purchased from online beauty supply stores. If you are considering using hair extensions or hair pieces, few things need to be considered that will help you choose the right natural hair extensions or hair pieces. When it comes to hair extensions, there are two basic categories: synthetic and natural hair extensions. Quality natural hair extensions can be cared and styled like your own hair, whereas synthetic hair extensions can be damaged if you use curling or flat iron. Natural hair pieces are more expensive, but last longer and also give the best natural look. On the other hand, synthetic hair extensions are more affordable and perfect for those who like to change hair style often.
Another thing to consider is the type of natural hair extensions, such as curly, straight or wavy. Other thing to keep in mind is the color of natural hair pieces. Make sure you choose the color that perfectly matches the natural color of your own hair. The next thing to consider is natural hair extensions attachment technique. Most long-term natural hair extensions attachment methods allow sleeping with extensions, and doing normal hair styling and hair maintenance. This does not apply to clip in hair extensions as they are easy to attach and remove on your own. Also, never sleep with your clip in natural hair extensions.
When deciding on natural hair extensions attachment method, such as fusion or glue, it is very important to select a professional hair salon to do the job for you in order to avoid any damages to your hair follicles. There are also other types of installation techniques, such as weaving, bonding, lace fronts and tracking. When using hair extensions it is important to use professional services to achieve a natural look. The quality of the hair used for extensions can vary as well. The terminology you need to know is:
- Virgin hair – a hair that has never been colored or chemically processed.
- Remy hair – term that is used for high quality, long lasting and tangle-free hair.
- Single drawn – hair is gathered and collected.
- Double drawn – hair is gathered more carefully, and these extensions are more expensive options than those in single drawn.
If you have any questions about synthetic or natural hair pieces, look for a professional hairdresser that provides quality hair extensions services and has experience with all hair types.
