Did you know that the history of
clip in hair extensions goes all the way back to the time of the ancient
Egyptians? For hundreds of years, only people who were wealthy could afford to
purchase these elegant hair pieces. But today, the game has changed altogether.
Clip in hair extensions (human or synthetic), micro links, and other types of
hair accessories have all become affordable enough so that they are accessible
to women across different backgrounds and walks of life. Now anybody can enjoy
them!
Hair extensions can be used for
many reasons. These include providing a solution for women suffering from
alopecia or slow-growing hair, having an alternate look available for women who
are always on the go, or wanting to experiment with a new hairstyle without
having to make an actual change to your real hair. When it comes to clip in
hair extensions, one can choose from either synthetic ones or those that are
made of human hair.
Human hair extensions are often
the preferred choice for many women as they are extremely long-lasting and can
endure heat and processing to achieve a variety of colours and textures.
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about synthetic extensions. Synthetic
hair extensions tangle and mat easily and cannot withstand heat application or
colour alteration. On the other hand, extensions that are made of human air can
last for years provided that they are given proper care and maintenance.
However, because of the said reasons, hair extensions that are made of human
hair are slightly more expensive than synthetic ones.
Clip in hair extensions come in a
wide range of colours and textures. When making a purchase, you need to
consider these carefully if you want your extensions to look as natural as
possible. In other words, people should not be able to distinguish the
extensions from your natural hair, unless of course that is your goal. These
days, with the sheer number of clip in hair extensions and micro links
available, you should be able to find the colour and texture that is just right
for you.
When it comes to application,
extensions can be applied in several ways. The first is the bonding method.
This method uses glue on the wefts of the extensions. These are then attached
to small sections in the natural hair. The second method is the sew-in method.
Here, a hair-weaving needle and thread are used to sew the wefts of the
extensions into braids that are formed using the natural hair. Lastly, fusion�the
most expensive method among the three, utilises a special wax and applies the
hair extensions to the roots of the natural hair.
