Hair extensions are the perfect way to achieve the kind of hair you have always longed for. Many of us want long hair but are unwilling to wait for it to grow to the desired length, or do not have hair that grows fast. Also, there are many people who have thin hair and wish to make their hair look thicker and healthier. Extensions are the perfect solution to such problems.
Hair extensions can be broadly divided into two categories, which are real hair and synthetic hair. Extensions made from real hair are quite expensive but they do have many benefits. They are much more natural and easier to blend in with your real hair. Also, they can be washed and styled just like real hair so you can try out whatever look you want. Synthetic hair is also very popular, mainly because it is so easy to work with. Synthetic extensions are usually in the form of clip-ons, which means all you have to do is clip them in with your natural hair and you are good to go.
Nowadays, many new techniques have been introduced in salons for extensions which give long lasting and natural results. Bonding is one of the most popular methods these days and although it is complex and expensive, many people are very satisfied with the long lasting results. With the binding method, extensions are bonded onto your real hair with a solution that is specifically made for this purpose. These extensions last for up to six months if you take good care of them. The fusion technique is also gaining popularity amongst women. In this method, protein glue is used to fix the hair extensions in place and these also last for many months.
The best thing about extensions is that it is not difficult to wash and style them, regardless of the type of extensions you are using. If you use a gentle shampoo your extensions will last a long time, and you can style the hair in whatever way you want. In this way, you can experiment with different styles and looks as you please.
