You have had with it with your current hairstyle and are gradually convincing yourself that the addition of hair extensions will provide you with the lush, long strands that you desire. The only problem is, you don't know if you are ready to commit to permanent extensions, or if a semi-permanent or temporary solution is more beneficial for your lifestyle. Seek guidance from a qualified beautician in order to attain the style that you desire and the degree of permanence that will work best for you.
Learn About Synthetic And Virgin Strands
Synthetic and virgin strands that are natural are the main types of extensions that are on the market. With synthetic strands, expect hair that weighs less than your natural hair and strands that are a uniform color.
Virgin hair strands have never been heat-processed or dyed. Natural strands tend to be a wide range of colors, and this will allow a beautician to closely match your new extensions with the original color of your hair.
Natural strands that have the same thickness and curl factor as your real hair will also ensure that your updated appearance will look realistic. Virgin hair will probably cost more than synthetic hair, but if you are interested in keeping your new extensions for a while, then natural is the way to go because the bundles of hair that you purchase can be refitted numerous times.
Choose Temporary, Semi-Permanent, Or Permanent
Temporary extensions tend to contain large bunches of hair that are each attached to a clip. Each clip can be secured near the nape of your neck or back and sides of your head to provide discreet coverage. Temporary extensions can be worn on a daily basis, but should be removed every day or two so that you can alleviate your head from the extra weight and allow your scalp to breathe.
Semi-permanent extensions are attached with hairstyling tape. Tape is secured near the roots of natural strands on your head. A professional fitting is necessary so that your natural hair is not damaged during the installation process. Semi-permanent extensions can remain attached for several weeks.
Permanent extensions require micro rings during the installation process. These tiny rings are secured to the natural hair shaft, close to the roots. The micro rings are secured underneath the top layer of hair so that they are not visible.
Once hair grows out, permanent extensions need to be removed. This may not be necessary for several months. With all types of extensions, hair strands should be treated with care. Hair can be washed and combed like normal, and as long as the strands are not pulled roughly, the extensions will remain intact.
About a year ago, I started thinking about different ways that I could make myself stand out to employers. I started taking a careful inventory of what I was doing and what I needed to do, and I turned to a friend of mine who happens to love beauty and fashion. She talked with me about skin care and updating my wardrobe, and I was really happy with everything she showed me. Within a few weeks, I felt like a brand new person, and it was really obvious to see how much better things became. I wanted to start a new website all about creating a better life for yourself, so I made this blog.
