Hair Extension
The main reason for hair extensions is to increase the length of hair. It can also cover up a bad haircut. If you want to add some color and dimension to your hair, you can use a different hair color shade for the hair extensions without having to color the natural hair. Hair extensions also add volume to the hair. Thinner hair is made to look thicker with hair extensions, for example. Using hair extensions is also a way to change the hairstyle without actually cutting and changing it with the natural hair. Using too many chemical-heavy products and heat-involving hair appliances can damage your natural hair . The hair extensions create a layer between the natural hair and the products/appliances.
Real vs Synthetic
Hair extensions can be made with real hair or with synthetic fibers that emulate hair. Real hair, of course, is the hair extension type that will look the most ideal and ‘real’ but it also faces the problems that any real hair face – fizziness, etc. Hair extensions made of synthetic fibers are more durable but have a plastic-y look to them. Real hair extensions are costlier than synthetic hair extensions but last longer.
