1. Hair extensions are expensive. Not only are they expensive to get, they are expensive to maintain. If you want to keep the long hair look, you will need to go back to your stylist every 6-8 weeks (depending on how fast your hair grows) and have them removed and re-attached closer to the root area.
This beautiful blonde 'do, see photo left, has long layers cut around the back and sides to encourage the bounce of the curls which add movement and shape. This curly hairstyle is great for those looking for a simple yet stunning look to compliment a log face shape.
This maintenance visit every few months will cost money, and depending on what type of hair is used for your extensions, you may have to purchase brand new hair every so often and the extension hair can become tangled and unusable.
2. Hair extensions can damage your hair. If the extensions are not attached and removed properly, there is the possibility that your natural hair will become damaged- even permanently damaged. This is why it is essential that you select a hair stylist that is trained and certified to attach extensions. Special training and certification is mandatory for most of the major brands of extensions.
3. Daily maintenance can be time consuming. Depending on the type of extensions you get, your daily habits may need changing. Examples include using special shampoos, drying the hair completely, de-tangling when necessary, avoiding swimming pools, etc. Be sure to ask your hair stylist what limitations the hair extensions will have for your daily routine and lifestyle.
