subject: Investigate Longer Locks Via Hair Extensions [print this page] If you want to try on some long hair for size but dont want to wait for your own hair to grow out, you could always try having hair extensions put in. No method of hair extension is permanent, so theres no need to worry that you might not like the results. Its a relatively quick way to inject some glamour into your look without committing to it for very long. Extensions made with human hair usually last around three months. However, with good care they can last longer.
You might associate hair extensions with reality TV stars, but the art of integrating hair has a long and illustrious history. Cleopatra was known to wear wigs and to have human hair added to her own as a symbol of her status as queen, to which jewels and other adornments could be attached.
Human hair extensions are the most sought after, not just because they look more natural but because they are actually safer to use. Human hair has become more widely available in recent times and is now sold at competitive prices; Asia is one of the largest suppliers of human hair in the world today.
People choose real hair because it provides the best texture and condition and they look much more realistic in comparison to synthetic hair. In fact, human hair extensions blend in with your natural hair and the untrained eye will not know the difference. It is important to note that when people choose their human hair they usually opt for anything up to 22 inches. Anything longer than this may put extra pressure on the scalp; this can even lead to damaging your own natural hair so this is not recommended.
Traditionally, hair extensions were only worn by the very wealthy who could afford both the cost and the time spent sitting in a salon chair: possibly up to fifteen hours. Thankfully, its elitist association has disappeared, and it is used by celebrities and non-celebrities alike. Singer Jessica Simpson is a big fan, and she has her own line of hair extensions and accessories.
Hair extensions are so well produced now and the attachment process so refined that having this procedure done can really make you feel special. Some women want fusion hair extensions for going on holiday, while others just want a bit of temporary follicular glamour for a big night out: the possibilities are endless.
