Great Alternative to Permanent Hair Extensions

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.
