Hair Extension

To some extent we will do anything just to make ourselves beautiful and never care about the long term side effect.

Recently, I intend to make hair extension because it looks beautiful, thicker, wavy, and elegant. As curious as I am, I make a research about hair extension. How it can damage our hair.

So here it is…

Finding out about all the methods of hair extensions is probably the MOST important step.  You should allow extra time to understand the methods and also the next step to select the best method for your hair situation. 

And just like the drug commercials we see on television, the side-effects of hair extensions are very real and you need to know what they are. 

 Important notice for all hair extension methods

Hair extensions can cause permanent damage to your natural hair.  Every hair extension company out there today claims that their method does not cause damage and even more companies claim that the condition of your natural hair will be improved after wearing hair extensions. 

First, the hair that is used for hair extensions comes in wefts (hair that is attached together with a tiny little curtain at top, or in individual strands of hair.  A strand of hair is considered 30 or more individual strands of hair.   Hair can be human hair or synthetic hair.

Each strand of hair on our head has a cuticle, or layer if you will, that is going in a certain direction.  All of the cuticles of the hair on your head are going in the same direction.  So, when you talk about adding hair to your head, it is important to understand the cuticle and how it is important to the look and feel of your hair.

Normally people pay four thousand dollars for the kind that are put on individually with clips, which need to be put in and taken out with a tool that only salons have! They have to be adjusted every month.

Your hair will coming out along with the extensions! There will just no more hair below the clip of hair extension hair. The hair was just GONE. It will break off at hundreds of different places where the clips were attached.  It will looks like a horror film!

So I called my sis’s hair consultant, Christy. Roughly, she gave the same feedback. Your scalp will get itchy, you'll feel uncomfortable to sleep and bla,bla,bla. Advised me to take supplementary such as Vitamin E to produce oil to make hair grow healthier.

Moral of the story, don’t depend on something to make u feel good bout yourself or let your confident boost by wearing something fake. Just let your natural beauty speaks to itself. Buat apa nak depend on something untuk nampak cantik kan and look horrible without it. It is unworthy to sacrifice our natural beauty for the sake of the fake thing.

 Confidence is sexy especially  when u are comfortable with your own skin. Feel good about yourself. Love your skin, love your hair, love everything in you! Never leave home without it!

Excuse for cosmetic product la. It is beauty enhancement. We need to maintain our beauty. Just to appreciate what God gives us. We need make up to look natural.

Back to Christy:

You wash your hair everyday la. It will grow in a month! No need hair extension one!

Does anyone have an experience doing hair extension?
