The truth about hair extensions

continued from page 1
Alternatives to hair extensions
From a professional point of view, if your hair is styled any other way than long and down, do not get hair extensions sewn or glued into your hair, as they will more than likely show. If your hair is long enough to get up into a ponytail, do that and just clip an extension piece into it. These do no damage, need no hairspray, are low maintenance and look great. They can be bought at a beauty supply shop really cheaply and are so much better for your hair and for your budget.

I wear a different clip-on extension almost every day. They look completely real and are not very expensive. However, be sure to curl them using rollers with no thermal styling, since they are not made of real hair and may burn. The best way to maintain and wash them is to soak them in cold water with a capful of baby shampoo, and then rinse in cool water, do not use anything hot. Let them dry naturally in the air and they should be like new.

There are different kinds of hair extensions; some clip on, while others require weaving, gluing and wefting. I personally prefer the clip-on type because they are easier to attach to your hair and you can take them off anytime. Plus they are better for your hair than having them glued or woven, which can make your hair weaker over time - this is because of the chemicals in the glue and because weaving pulls your real hair too tight.

Clip-on hair varies in price, depending what type, colour, length and quality you want. In general, the longer the hair, the more expensive it will be.
