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.

Finding a hair extension salon

Hair Extension Salons

Finding a reputable hair extension stylist or salon can be rather difficult today. There are many unscrupulous businesses that claim to have trained hair extension stylists when in fact they don't have any.

Hair disasters such as damaged hair after hair extension removal, permanent hair loss and other devastating problems can result when a hair extension stylist is not properly trained to attach and remove hair extensions.

There are several ways that you can check out a stylist before getting hair extensions. Below are just a few:
1. Verify with the specified hair extension company that the salon/stylist is indeed trained and certified for that method.
2. Call the Board of Cosmetology and the Better Business Bureau in your area to see if any complaints have been filed.
3. Go to your hair extension consultation prepared with a list of all the right questions.
4. Email editor@hairresources.com to see if anyone has complained about this salon.

These are just a few steps that you can take to avoid hair extension disasters. After all hair extensions are quite expensive, so you need to investigate and thoroughly research every detail before you get them.

Less expensive hair extension method

Florida based company, Richard Gizzi & Associates, has developed a less expensive, high quality hair extension method

Hair extensions are a great way to get instant long, beautiful hair in just a few hours. Most women today want to get human hair extensions, where actual donated human hair is used for the extensions. There are other methods that offer synthetic hair extensions. Some of these methods are also gaining popularity as the quality and realness of the synthetic fiber hair has improved over the years.

This week at Hair Resources, we interviewed Richard Gizzi of Richard Gizzi & Associates, in Ft. Myers Florida. He discussed the details of his new hair extension method called FLhair Xtensions. The Xtensions are available in strand by strand and also in grafted form for hair loss clients. Both methods use Euro-Asian human hair that is processed for tangle control, color selections and chemical texturizing at a production facility in Asia. Textures and waves for both Caucasian and ethnic markets are available in all popular colors in 16” hair lengths.

The FLhair Xtension method is easy and quick to put in and take out, making it a preferred method among hair stylists. Each hair stylist is trained and certified in the method before they can attach hair extensions on clients. Because of the quick installation, removal and streamlined production, FLhair Xtensions are available for a much lower cost than traditional strand by strand hair extensions. A typical full head of extension hair will run around $800.

Traditional methods require the hair stylist to invest from $2,000 to $5,000 for training, equipment and certification. Flhair Xtensions allows the stylist to add hair extension services to his or her salon for a fraction of the cost.
