Many women excitedly look at permanent hair extensions only to dismiss getting them after finding out the cost. The cost of the hair can be high, along with paying a stylist to attach and remove them. Not to mention the fact that hair extensions can cause damage to your natural hair.
A great alternative to permanent hair extensions is clip-in hair extensions. The clip-ins cost just a fraction of what regular extensions cost, plus they have several added benefits. You can attach and remove them whenever and however many times you want. Generally speaking, they do not cause damage to your natural hair. The quality of the hair used in clip-ins depends on the brand that you get and the manufacturer. It is better (although more expensive) to get human hair clip-in extensions than synthetic ones. Human hair can be styled with a curling iron or flat iron, will look more natural and will tend to tangle less if the hair is a certain quality.

How to get hair extensions
Once you have decided to get hair extensions, you may become overwhelmed with all the different methods and stylists available for hair extensions. There are many different ways to attach extensions, from clips, locs, links, fusion, bonding. And there are many different types of synthetic and human hair.
Each method has special characteristics that can be suitable for various types of hair situations. For example, damaged or thinning hair might be best suited for synthetic hair extensions because they weight much less than human hair extensions and will be less stressful on the roots.
If is always recommended that you schedule several hair extension consultations with different hair stylists before actually getting hair extensions. Be prepared to ask questions during your consultation so that you can compare notes later.

Long term use of hair extensions can cause hair loss
Hair extensions are the fastest way to get a long, beautiful hairstyle. Many women are becoming addicted to the popular service, having extensions attached and removed for years.
Many celebrities that have worn hair extensions for years are now paying a big price with bald spots and hair loss. The weight of the extensions on the natural hair causes the hair to fall out in patches and create bald spots. Long term use of hair extensions may not be a good idea for hair health.
Many hair stylists recommend removing the extensions every few months and giving the hair a break from all that extra weight. In most cases the hair loss or bald spots will regain normal hair growth. But there are cases where the damage is permanent.

Question about hair extensions that fall out
Getting hair extensions can be a big task. There are many different types of hair extensions and methods for attaching them. See letter to the Editor below about specifics of getting hair extensions.
Questions for the Editor:
When extensions are guaranteed, are fallen extensions reattached at no charge, or are you expected to pay for the hair again.? Please let me know what is typical or most common.
Managing Editor Response:
These are very good questions that you are asking. There is nothing worse than paying thousands of dollars for extensions and having to go back and have to pay to re-attach any that have fallen.
If your extensions fall out, you should definitely try to save them so that the stylist can just re-attach them, and not have to use more extension hair. If you don't save the fallen extensions, you will probably have to pay for more hair.
Most reputable extension stylists will offer so many re-attached hair extensions as a part of the fee you pay for the extensions. It is normal to have a few extensions fall out.

Clip In Hair Extensions
Permanent hair extensions can be a little pricey. If you are really considering getting them, you might want to start out with the clip in version. Quality clip in hair extensions can last several years and have the great feature of being clippin in and out whenever you want.
There are many online stores that sell clip in hair extensions. Be sure to check out what type of hair is being used for the extensions. Cheaper hair will tend to matte and tangle easily. It is better to go with a more quality clip in so that you can wear it much longer.

Getting Hair Extensions? Which method will you choose?
Many men and women rush, with excitement, to their local salon to get hair extensions as fast as possible. Is this the best way to get hair extensions?
Actually no. It is a known fact that any type of hair extensions can cause damage to your hair. The key to not getting damaged hair is to select the right hair extension method and select a hair stylist that is properly trained and even certified to do extensions.
If you get hair extensions at any salon without checking things out, you may very well end up with damaged hair. Not every hair extensio method is suitable for everyone. Actually there is no one 'Best' hair extension method. Rather, there are hair extensions that might be better for you hair.
A lot of the hair extension methods have been designed for specific hair, i.e. damaged hair, thinning hair, thick hair, etc. By doing your research and checking out the stylist you will be more likely to have a positive experience and minimize the possibility of damaged hair.

Hair extensions falling out with hair attached
Question: Hello! I got a full head of extensions not too long ago and I have had nothing but compliments about them.
I would like to know if anyone has a problem like I have had. My extensions have totally fallen out with my own hair attached to them . I have lost about 12 of them so far.
It's like my own hair has rejected the extensions.
Please advise me what to do
Answer: I would be very concerned if your natural hair was falling out along with the hair extensions. It is very normal to lose a few extensions here and there, but it is a totally different thing if your natural hair is also falling out with the extensions still attached.
Basically what this means is the hair extensions are causing so much stress on your normal hair that the weight of the hair extension is pulling out your natural hair. This is not your hair rejecting the extensions. You could end up with permanent hair loss.
Have you checked back with the stylist that put the extensions in? What has he/she recommended? Most stylist would recommend removing the extensions immediately.
If I were you, I would get a second professional opinion if your stylist doesn't think there is any problem. You are running the risk of permanent damage.
If you love the look of hair extensions, there are alternatives to the human hair extensions. For example, synthetic hair extensions weigh about 1/3 the weight of human hair and look just as natural as human hair. Maybe this would be a route for you to go.

How to choose hair extension stylists
Choose Your Hair Extension Stylist Wisely
There are many important factors you must consider before choosing your hair extension stylist. Getting hair extensions is not like getting your hair cut or even colored. Attaching and removing hair extensions requires a certain amount of skill and training. If the stylist you select doesn't have the proper training you could end up with empty pockets and damaged hair.
Here are a few guidelines to selecting your stylist:
1. Schedule at least 3 hair extension consultations.
2. Verify that the stylist has the credentials/training they say they do.
3. Get at least 3 references from each stylist and call them all.
4. Read every little word on any contract they give you.
5. Ask exactly what happens if something goes wrong.
5. Call the Board of Cosmetology in your state to verify the stylist does have a cosmetology license and check if any complaints have been filed against him/her.
6. Check with the Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints have been filed against the stylist of salon.
7. "Google" the salon/stylist and hair extension method.
8. Visit Hair Extension forums and check if anyone has mentioned the stylist or salon.
9. Take notes during your consultation so that you can better compare salons/methods later.
10. NEVER NEVER sign a contract during the consultation. Always go home, do research and homework and read the contract in full before signing.

Common myths of hair extensions
There are many common myths about hair extensions that you will hear repeated over and over again. There may be a small amount of truth to these myths, but in the end they are only myths.
1. Hair extensions do not cause any type of damage to your hair. This is something that many hair extension companies will say. The truth is, you are attaching additional hair to your natural hair by one of many different methods. The added hair can cause extra stress on your natural hair at the roots, because of the extra weight and at the point of attachment, where the extension is attached. Every method of hair extensions has the potential to cause serious damage to your hair. The key to minimizing any damage to your hair is to select your stylist and hair extension method very carefully. A well trained hair extension stylist that uses a quality hair extension product can attach hair extensions to the natural hair with very little damage.
2. Hair extensions are undetectable. No matter what method of hair extensions you go with, there will be a point of attachment. You will definitely be able to tell that there is an extension in your hair. The key to making the hair extensions less detectable to other people is--again---a well trained hair extension stylist with experience at blending in the extensions with your natural hair.
3. Cheap hair extensions are just as good as the high priced ones. When it comes to hair extensions (there may be a few exceptions) the more money you pay, you are likely to be getting better quality hair and a better trained hair extension stylist. Human hair that has very little processing is more expensive and will tend to last longer without tangles. A high priced hair extension stylist is likely to have attended special hair extension training classes and received many hours of training. They charge higher prices because they must recover all of their costs for training and upgraded equipment.
These are just 3 common myths about hair extensions. For more details you can purchase our Ebook on hair extension methods, costs, stylists, consultations and more. Visit http://www.hairextensionsexposed.com/

Hair Extensions Costs
One of the first questions that many women ask when they start thinking about getting hair extensions is "How much do they cost" This is probably not the place to start, but it will give you a good idea as to whether you should pursue getting hair extensions.

What should you ask the stylist about during the consultations. What are the major red flags you need to be aware of during a consultation. Are there warning signs for a bad hair extension stylist?

Options for hair extensions
So, you want to get hair extensions......
Today there are so many different options for hair extensions. If you are pressed for time and money, there are clip-in extensions or temporary extensions that last for just a few weeks. If you have time and money, there are the more permanent type of extensions that can last for several months.
In between the two extremes, no money and plenty of money, there lies many different hair extension methods to choose from. Each method has distinct advantages over others and you must carefully compare these methods to choose the right method for your hair type.
Not every hair extension method will work for everyone. Be aware that some methods have been exclusively designed for different types of hair, i.e. damaged hair, thin hair, thinning hair, etc.
It is very important that you schedule 2-4 hair extension consultations and compare methods and costs before you ever make the decision to extend. And whatever you do, don't every sign an agreement during the consulation. Always wait a few days to read over everything very carefully and prepare a list of questions that you might have.
Hair extensions have the potential to cause damage to your hair. Take your decision to extend very seriously. If things don't go right, you could end up with damaged hair....and lose tons of money trying to fix problems.

What to do when you get bad hair extensions
Question and Answer session with Hair Resources Editor
Dear Editor: I recently had work done at a hair extension salon and I look just awful. I got professional opinions from other experts and they said I should at the very least get some of my money back and I was overcharged for half a head of hair (I look like I have a mullet).
The stylist has refused to do anything about my dissatisfaction and has claimed that since I am not a hair expert I have no right to tell her how much I should have paid and no right to go to other professionals for their opinions. I did not read your guide and get a guarantee before hand :(
Hair Resources Editor Response:
Unfortunately all methods of hair extensions have the potential to cause damage. The expertise of the stylist can make or break your hair during the attachment or removal process. Another major factor is if you are starting with thin or damaged hair. There are methods that are actually designed for damaged hair and they are much gentler on the hair. Synthetic hair may be a better option since it weighs about 1/3 the weight of human hair and puts less stress on the roots.
As to whether you should get your money back or not, that is a very gray area. Many stylists require you to sign a waiver that if anything goes wrong they are not responsible. You would need to prove that the salon/stylist was negligent in attaching/removing the extensions. In the end, the salon has the right to charge whatever they want for their services and hair and you have the option to not pay for it.
The time to investigate whether the salon was charging you fairly was before you got hair extensions. In our Ebook, Hair Extensions Exposed, we recommend that clients schedule 2-4 hair extensions consultations at different salons offering different methods so that you can compare costs, methods, etc.
The real focus right now should be any damage that has occured to your hair. Has the salon offered to remedy your situation in any way, and did you sign any sort of disclaimer? Your options right now are to file a lawsuit and/or a complaint with the cosmetology board in your state or resolving the issue with your stylist.

Bad Hair Extensions Experience

I got professional opinions from other experts and they said I should at the very least get some of my money back and I was overcharged for half a head of hair (I look like I have a mullet). The stylist has refused to do anything about my dissatisfaction.
Two things that a lot of hair stylists have said is that the hair extensions that my stylist attached are very damaging to African American and ethnic hair and that the chemical used to remove the bonds is equally damaging. Many said they never would have used this process on my thin and damaged hair and that it will just damage it further...have you heard anything to that extent?

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.
