Hair Extensions and the common Questions and Concerns PART ONE

Even though it has been a good few years now since hair extensions exploded onto the style scene they are showing no sign of disappearing anytime soon! It seems we are all still craving the luscious long locks that are provided to us through the use of extensions.

This long lasting hair trend can do so much for our overall look as extensions can be used in a number of different ways. They can be the perfect solution if you are trying to add colour, highlights/lowlights, volume and of course length. There is so much room for you to experiment with them that it is no wonder so many people are deciding to give them a go.

As the hair extensions trend is one that has been around for a while now and has no sign of going away it comes as no surprise that there is now an array of choice when it comes what type and style of extension you will gain. The choice of extensions and how to treat them, style them and have them applied and removed is however something that can often cause a lot of confusion and as a result there are a lot of myths flying around that extensions can damage your hair etc. So to help you sort fact from fiction and to gain a grasp of just what you need to do where your extensions are concerned here are some of the answers to the main questions and concerns that crop up about hair extensions:

• How long does my natural hair have to be to have them applied?
The answer to this question really depends on the type of extension that you are having applied; however the general starting length for natural hair can range from one inch to four or five inches. Many stylists require your locks to be at least three or four inches in length for them to feel comfortable about applying hair extensions.

• How much will having them applied cost me?
There isn’t one set price for hair extensions. The amount that they will set you back depends on certain factors such as your location, the salon you visit and what type of hair is being used. The method of attachment is another factor that may also affect the price of your extensions. In some salons you may be able to buy what is known as a package deal whereby you are paying for your extensions as well as products that can be used to keep the extensions in a good condition and your blow dry. You will however more than likely be paying anything between the regions of £150, £300, £500 to £1000.

• What do I do if they don’t suit me after they have been applied?
Before you have the extensions applied you should have a consultation with your stylist during which they will be able to advise you on what style you should adapt with the extensions and what type are best for you. If however you are still unsure after your consultation it may be a good idea to opt for a temporary method such as clip in extensions just so you can get a feel of them and then decide whether you want a more permanent form of attachment.
