The Art Of
Artificial Hair Extensions
Artificial hair extensions are often used instead of human hair extensions for a variety of reasons including price and variety of colours; so let’s take a closer look at these little synthetic gems to find out if they’re right for you.
What Are They Made Of? Quite simply they are made of synthetic materials so if you feel uneasy about human hair extensions then these are the extensions for you!
How Are They Attached? Theses synthetic extensions are usually applied without the need of glues, bonds or excessive heat. The popular methods of attachment are braiding hair extensions which can last six to eight weeks,
wonderful weave-ons or wefts
which last up to 10 weeks,
clip in hair extensions
which you can slot into your hair daily and of course the
marvellous micro rings
which are more time consuming to apply but then can last up to ten weeks.
If you’ve opted for mono-fibre hair extensions then a small section of your growth hair is wrapped inside part of the fibre. The outside of this wrap is then heated to seal the fibre. Because your hair is wrapped in the fibre and the heat used is equivalent to straighteners, your own hair is not heated or damaged in anyway by the application.
However only the clip in extensions should be taken out without the aid of a professional. In order to preserve the integrity of your own growth hair always get a professional to remove hair extensions for you – only if you feel practiced enough should you attempt to do this yourself.
Where Can You Find Them? Any salon worth its salt will sell artificial hair extensions in some form or another. However there are also a wealth of online stores that also sell synthetic hair extensions… and yes, you’ll find them at our store too!
What Colours Do They Come In? The great thing about artificial hair extensions is that they have the ability to closely match and blend colours to your own growth hair. They can also come in bright colours so if you’re after a funky new look then they can be just the ticket!
Will The Hair Look Artificial? If you get neon green hair then yes they will! If however you are after something that matches your own growth hair then you’ll find that if they’re attached well, passers-by will be none-the-wiser! As always there will be a level of care and maintenance needed for synthetic hair extensions and you can learn about
