Tips On How To Buy Hair Extensions

Buying hair extensions is not an exact art because there are a lot of suppliers out there in the marketplace, and there are a number of different types of hair extension as well when it comes to the method of fixing them. 

The first thing is to be certain what you are looking for. Do you want to add thickness and volume to your hair, length, or both? Before you start asking around, you need to have a list of questions ready. These should include asking what hair types the supplier offers, what type of attachments they have available, and what is the life expectancy of the hair extensions. You should tell the supplier what type of hair you have – whether it is thick hair, medium, or very fine – and ask if their type of attachment is suitable. You would also want to ask how often you would need to visit for servicing. Bear in mind that you will need servicing and you should be prepared for the cost of this.

Choosing the best hair extensions for your hair type is essential. There is a condition called traction alopecia which is hair loss caused by constant pulling and breakage of the hair as a result of very tight braiding, badly fitting extensions, etc., continually pulling on the hair root. It is vital that you get the right type of hair extensions for your type of hair. This means doing some research, because there are a number of different types of fitting and everyone has different ideas about which is best.

You need to see samples of the hair that is offered, and also what it looks like after it has been worn for some months. You also need to make sure that you use a reputable salon. Look online for reviews or on social media. If you have any friends who have used the salon, ask them for their opinions. Make certain that you use only top grade hair extensions: they cost more to begin with, but you will save money over time rather than buying one which is only going to last a few weeks.
