Studying Hair Extension Techniques

If you are finding that your hair is falling a bit short

, and what you are really after is long, luscious locks in the style of your favourite celebrities, there is a surprisingly huge range of ways to make this happen. If you are unacquainted with the world of hair extensions, it may be worth your while to do a bit of research, and try a few methods to see which ones suit you best.

Hair extensions can be sewn in where hair is literally sewn onto your own hair or bonded. Bonding and sealing extensions require the use of special hair adhesives so as not to damage the wearers natural hair. It is an approach to extending hair that lasts for a shorter period of time in comparison to the sew-in weave. It involves the application of hair glue to a section of wefted hair then onto a persons natural hair. This technique is commonly used and does not cause damage to the hair unless taken out without proper directions from a professional. It is advised that weave bonding be installed for no more than three weeks because the glue begins to loosen at that point.

Similar to bonding is fusion, in which a kind of glue gun is used to attach human hair extensions to individual strands of one's natural hair of about 1/8 to 1/4 inch squared sections for a truly authentic look. This may sound unnerving, but the results can be fantastic. Another option for fusion attachments is using hair which is pre-tipped with a keratin adhesive. A heat clamp is then used to melt the adhesive to attach the extension hair to the natural hair. Fusion weave allows you to wash your hair frequently a huge hygiene bonus and to use regular hair products like gels, which is another advantage of this method of hair extensions.

You will be able to choose between real or synthetic hair extensions. The former is preferable for obvious reasons they look far more realistic and they are also safer to use, and you want to minimise the potential damage to your hair as much as possible.

These are the best longer term options for hair extensions, so if you are looking for a hair boost just for a night out or a day at work, you might want to look around for more temporary options such as flip-in extensions that can easily be attached and removed whenever you want.
