It is believed that the art of extensions has evolved over the years. Today, you shall come across multiple extension systems using different aids like heating and melting etc to add the extensions to natural hair. For this purpose, either human or synthetic-made extensions are used and at times, a blend of both. The extensions generally seen in the market are hair strands that are knotted together by a tip made of a material that is first melted and then bonded to the hair. You may find tips that are color-blended and tend to match any hair color.
When it comes to applications of the extensions, they are always applied in rows. The stylist works up to the back of the head towards the crown area. A notable fact is that extensions should not be applied at the top or even along the hairline as that might give an unnatural look. Also, they should be not be too close to the scalp as they would certainly stick out and be easily detectable. The best thing about extensions is that once they are applied, you can also have them cut and styled as you want. Even though, you might have to take care of them by using some special shampoos and conditioners, a wide tooth comb is also recommended by stylists to avoid any pulled-out hair.
Nowadays, many companies are manufacturing and offering hair extensions in variety of colors while some are available with highlight effects as well. They do not have any chemical damage on natural hair and thereby, are largely preferred by women.
