Hair extension method question answered



As the editor for the Hair Resources Network, I frequently get Emails from consumers about hair extensions. Below is a question about different hair extension methods.




Question: I have been in search of a method to apply hair extentions. I DO NOT WANT GLUE. I want something harmless to my hair. I have used Bellargo in the past. But now on the road cannot find someone that knows that method so need something easy for a hair dresser to apply without a ton of thought




Answer: There are many different hair extension methods available today. Since improper attachment and removal can cause severe damage to your hair, I wouldn't recommend going with just any stylist, especially one that isn't trained.

Since hair extensions have become so popular, there are many more trained hair stylists that offer the service. We have published an Ebook that details all the different methods available. It is available at http://www.hairextensionsexposed.com/

If you would like to research the method yourself, I would recommend visiting our Hair Extensions Resource Center at http://www.hairresources.net/ Just follow the 'Hair Extensions' link and go to '6 Steps' to getting hair extensions. I believe some of the methods are listed in Step 3.

FYI--All methods can cause damage to the hair. For non-fusion (non-glue) methods check out: Pro Styles, Hair Locs, Euro Locs, Mark Barrington, Dome. Extend Magic, Ultratress

If you are interested in doing the extensions yourself, check out Protac--visit http://www.shrinkies.net/ and also http://www.doctoredlocks.net/ You should be able to purchase supplies from these places. Also check out a brand new DIY extension method- http://www.tiffanytwist.com/ The Hair Extension forum at http://talk.hairboutique.com/ has a lot of posts from people that do their own extensions. It may be very useful if you want to do them yourself.

Should kids get hair extensions?

I recently read that Kate Moss allowed her 4-year old daughter to get hair extensions. The pre-schooler now has long blonde hair all the way to her waist. I have to say I am a little shocked. But then I think, why am I shocked?

I guess the primary thought that I have is Why are we so keen on having our kids grow up so fast? What's the hurry? You can only be a kid for so long, then it is gone. Then there are adults who go back and try to act like kids. Just doesn't make sense to me.

When I was in school, I couldn't wait to get out and get my own job--make my own money. Now that I have done that, my thoughts are --what was the big hurry.

So, what do you think about Kate Moss's 4-year old daughter getting hair extensions? Leave your comments below.

Hair extensions for your wedding?

You have the perfect wedding dress picked out, all of the party details in place and now you are trying to decide on how you will wear your hair.

If you love the look of a long beautiful hair style for your wedding, but you only have medium or short hair, then you may be in luck.

Hair extensions are very popular today and offer the flexibility of getting long hair in just a few hours. Human or synthetic hair is attached to your natural hair by one of many different methods for a free-flowing look.

For best results, you should plan to get hair extensions several weeks before your wedding to make sure everything turns out okay. Sometimes the hair extensions can fall out or cause major matteing and tangling---if the extensions are not attached properly and if cheap, inferior quality hair is used---so you wouln't want any suprises like that just before your wedding.
