When you start looking into getting hair extensions, you may run into salons that offer weaves.
A weave is when all of your natural hair is braided. Then the stylists will take a hook and needle and sew in the hair extensions into the braid.
The service can be a little pricey--around $500 or more--depending on the quality of extensions that you get.
There are disadvantages to getting a weave. Typically a weave will last anywhere from 6-10 weeks, usually a little bit less than other types of extensions. Also, if you don't go with an experienced hair stylist, your braids could be done to tight on your head. Overly tight braids can contribute to scalp soreness, itchiness and even permanent hair loss. The stress of the hair pulling too much on the scalp can cause the natural hair to fall out at the roots.
If you have ever worn your hair in braids, it can take some getting used to. I know that I experience itchiness even when the braids are not too tight.
But the weave is viable option for getting long hair and one big advantage is that it does not use any sort of chemical or adhesive--which in the end will be better for your hair.

Where do you find a hair extension salon
If you are thinking about getting hair extensions, you may be wondering where you find a hair extension stylist. There are many different options to finding a hair stylist.
1. Ask someone who recently got hair extensions. This is a great way to find a stylist, since someone who is not happy with their extensions will not recommend the stylist to anyone else.
2. Search online. There are many hair extension salons that have websites now. If you search for the terms 'hair extensions' and 'your city name', you will probably find a salon close to you.
3. Research the hair extension methods first and then call the hair extension company directly to find a certified stylist in your area.
It always recommended that you set up several hair extension consultations so that you can compare methods and costs. More hair extensions info

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.
