Damaged hair and extensions

Getting hair extensions when your hair is damaged

Hair extensions involve attaching human or synthetic hair to your natural hair by one of many different methods. The hair can be attached strand by strand--where the strand is about 20-30 hairs, or they can be attached in wefts, where the hair is attached at the top by a tiny little curtain.

Some of the methods available today include fusion, bonding, sew-in, mini locs, clips, sleeves, links and string. Some methods are more suitable for damaged hair and will even help to improve the condition of the hair.

The hair stylist that does extensions should be properly trained to deal with all sorts of hair situations. If the wrong method is used on damaged hair, it can result in the extensions pulling out the natural hair--even resulting in permanent hair loss.

So, the morale of the story is, DO YOUR RESEARCH on hair extensions before you get them. Don't just make an appointment somewhere and get extensions. Research all the different methods available, schedule several extension consultations (even if they charge for them) because in the end you are making a big investment financially as well as emotionally.

If you get bad extensions, not only will you have thrown away your hard-earned money, but also you will be scarred emotionally if you have any kind of hair loss or permanent damage to your natural hair.
