Hair Length

Hair extensions are ideal for gaining a variety of hair lengths. This is a way to embrace hair integration by having hair extensions put in.

This allows women to feel good about themselves and be able to create a new image ‘on the go,’ giving confidence and heightening self –esteem.

The Hair Fiber

Many of these hair extensions come in different styles and varying hair fiber. So, if you wanted human hair or synthetic hair, you could choose either. Human hair extensions are more expensive, but last much longer. You can apply heat to human hair while that may only be possible on some synthetic fibers.

Many celebrities wear hair extensions and have been doing so for a while. In fact, it is because of this why the public caught on to this trend. Famous people like Racquel Welch and Jessica Simpson have been known to wear extensions. In the past, the regular person may not have been able to afford this process, but it has had a turn around and now anyone can get hair extensions.

Micro Extensions

There are also different methods on how to install hair extension. Your hairstylist will definitely have to consult with you first to determine what you desire and how to get the hairstyle that you want.

The hairstylist will combine each of your natural hair strands with each hair extension strands. Usually, the same hair color is recommended, but you can also have a blended look. This technique is called micro loop. The weft hair extension is similar where it uses loops or rings. However, instead of a single hair strand, a weft or track of hair is used. Other methods include gluing the extension to the hair scalp. Another method is clip on, which is the cheapest process and easiest. You could also do a sew in, but this is a longer process, but also could last longer.
