Hair Extensions Question
Many people wonder about the specific details of hair extensions. One frequently asked question is "How long does the natural hair need to be to get hair extensions attached?"
The answer is "It Depends" Don't you just love those answers!
Let me explain. Every hair extension method has different requirements for attachment. Some hair extensions can be attached on as little as 2-in. of natural hair. Other methods require your hair to be 4-5 inches long.
To find out the specific details about every method you can contact the hair extension company directly or visit their website. Most websites have these details listed, while you may have to send an Email to some companies to find out the information.

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 methodHair 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.

Very thin hair after hair extension removal
Hair Extension Questions
Question:
I had a hair dresser put in hair extensions. I had seen some of her other clients with extensions. My extensions were applied with the metal bands and my hair is fine but I had alot of it.When she removed the extensions I ended up with REALLY thin hair. Can you give me some info on why and what to do about it. I am really upset about this and feel totally ugly. My hair won't hold a curl put in by a round brush and blow dryer either.
Answer:
I am sorry you are having trouble with the look of your hair after the extensions. We frequently get Emails from people that have very similar problems. Even though you know you are not alone, it still makes you feel bad.Anyways, I am not a professional cosmetologists and can not offer a professional opinion. However, I have done extensive research on hair extensions and can provide you with tips and advice that I have come across over the last few years. Of course this info is Use At Your Own Risk.
There are several reasons that your hair seems to appear very thin after removing the hair extensions.
1. Normal hair loss every day is 100-150 strands of hair. When you have hair extensions attached to your normal hair, this hair still falls out, but remains attached to the extension hair. This leaves less of your natural hair holding the extension in place. If you leave the extensions in too long, or your hair is fragile, then the weight of the extensions in the hair can actually pull out the natural hair along with the extensions, causing very thin hair or even permanent hair loss. Did you lose a lot of extensions when you were wearing them? And how long did you have the extensions in your hair?
2. Perception--After having beautiful thick hair for awhile, you get used to it. When they are removed your hair appears super thin. Do you remember the thickness of your pony tail before your hair extensions were attached. I.E. was it the size of a quarter.
3. Your hair stylist did not remove them properly. Most damage occurs during the removal process. Did you check out your stylist (i.e. call references, see before/after photos, etc.)
Solutions to get your hair back in shape.
1. Treat your hair very carefully. Try not to do any chemical processing, such as perms, color, highlights.
2. Switch to a thickening shampoo/conditioner. Some shampoos/conditioners I have heard (in various forums) that are good are the Nioxin ones and Aveda Hair Thickening Shampoo . My husband has a hair thinning problem and I ordered the Nioxin system for him. It makes his hair look more healthy and thicker. Follow this link for Nioxin Scalp Therapy System 1 for Fine Hair and other Nioxin Products..
3. Start taking vitamins that are specifically for your hair. I know that Nioxin has vitamins that I have heard work. You might want to ask around or research on the Internet for others. Here is another link to check out:Nature's Bounty Vitamins for the Hair, Tablets Future Hair Extensions?
If you had the human hair extensions, maybe your hair is too fragile to hold the extra weight of the human hair. Maybe you should try synthetic hair extensions. Synthetic hair weighs about 1/3 the weight of human hair and is much gentler on your natural hair. Synthetic hair nowadays looks just like natural hair and is less expensive than the human hair extensions. Check out these methods: www.prohair.us , www.domecosmetics.com
Finally, there is a Hair Extension forum over at HairBoutique.com You can browse and read thru posts concerning people with the same problems that you have, or even create a post yourself. There are many professionals that visit the forum and offer advice. Go to http://talk.hairboutique.com and scroll down to "Hair Extensions"Finally, for additional info on other Hair Extension methods, refer to our brand new site, www.hrhairextensions.com
Hope this information is helpful and that you can quickly restore your hair back to a healthy state.
