You should know what to expect before going to the salon.
You may ask would hair extensions cost a fortune. The answer is yes.

You would find hair extensions online with complete instructions which guide you how to apply it. So if you feel adventurous, you can buy a do-it-yourself kit and save significantly.

The two major types of hair extension are individual strands and wefts. There are details of how to apply them. Individual strands are attached one piece at a time to your own hair, usually using glue, or with waxes and polymers. The problem here is that most of the attachment methods require coating your natural hair with rather unfriendly chemicals. Attaching these extensions isn't a problem, but removing this type of extension can seriously damage your hair.
Hair weft is another kind of extensions. It is braided into your hair and there is no need to use chemicals. A weft looks like a curtain of hair held together at the top and hanging freely toward the bottom. It is braided into your hair around the midline of your head - about ear level. And your own hair needs to be braided every two months.
Hair for extensions can be either synthetic or real human hair. synthetic hair extensions are cheaper, of course, but you get what you pay for - they look like artificial strands attached to your hair. They're not very pleasant to the touch, either. Human hair used for extensions gives better results. The hair of human hair extensions differs by origin. Choosing which type depends on what you like.
