Importance of proper care of hair extensions
When it comes to hair extensions there are a few aspects that should
be known before visiting your salon. Being informed can ensure that
you get the product that you want and that you are not an unhappy
client. The most popular hair extensions are human extensions as
this offers you a more natural look and feel. There are several
reasons why a person would opt for hair extensions; the need for
a longer hairstyle for a wedding or prom or for preventions of the
signs of hair loss. The different extensions and means of applications
will depend on the your use of the product.
The various application methods of hair extensions
When it comes to attaching hair extensions to your hair there are
various methods that are available. The first method that can be
used is gluing the hair extensions in place; the glue can be a hot
or a cold glue. Many people feel that the hot glue is not flexible
and does not give a natural feel to the extensions. The cold glue
however is preferred as it is more flexible and allows for more
natural hair extensions. Gluing the extensions onto the scalp allows
the extensions to last between 3 and 6 months with proper care of
the extensions. The second method is when the hair extensions are
sewn into a track on your head. This track is generally known as
corn rows and can be hidden by your natural hair. The number of
tracks will depend on the number of extensions, this however needs
to be re-sewn every 6 to 8 weeks due to hair growth.
It is important that hair extensions are properly treated as this
will ensure that the extensions last as long as planned. Shampooing,
conditioning and moisturizing are important steps in the care routine.
Although most of you may not include moisturizing in your hair care
routine it is essential for hair extensions as they do not get the
required nourishment from the scalp.
