subject: Hair Extension Options To Suit All [print this page] When your hair is short, it can seem like ages for it to grow and the more you look in the mirror, the longer it seems to take. The best thing to do whilst waiting is to go for hair extensions and with so many options available, there is sure to be one suitable for you. There is no permanence in having your hair extended although you can consider short or long term extensions. Three weeks to three or four months is about the time frame within which you can choose, depending on your preferred choice of method. The most advantageous effect and benefit is that within a very short space of time you can have the sort of luscious curling tresses that you could only ever have dreamed about before. The glamour of the celebrity look is only a curling tong away.
It is very common nowadays for human hair to be used and in fact a whole industry has grown up out of this with Asia being the largest supplier in the world. The use of human hair in extensions, as opposed to a synthetic product, is now widespread due to safety factors and because the human hair has a far more authentic, natural look with the optimum texture and condition. Most people would never be able to detect when someone has extensions using human hair as it blends in so well with natural hair.
Synthetic hair extensions will never quite make the same grade in realistic imitation. Prices today are far more affordable for human hair, too, which has opened up the market to a far wider range of people. In addition, time taken to apply the extensions has shortened with more modern techniques; it is no longer a case of the wealthy with plenty of leisure time who can afford both the cost and the time of sitting for hours and hours in a hair salon.
There are various options to choose from when you decide to have extensions applied to your hair and this will depend on your lifestyle choice to a large extent. For some a quick option of having flip-in hair extensions, for example, means you could be on the way to that special night out with a luxurious head of hair fanning your shoulders. Lengths can be up to 22" although no more would be recommended due to adding too much pressure on your scalp.
