Reasons to try hair extensions
There are many reasons to try hair extensions, and we’ve tried to narrow it down to just four of the biggest choices.
They give you options to change your hairstyle
Using clip-in hair extensions can be a fantastic way to change up your hairstyle now and then. It gives you lots of options to play with and you can get really creative with your hair if you’re open to experimentation.
They’re surprisingly easy to use
Hair extensions are extremely easy to use. People often think that wearing hair extensions takes up a bit of extra time in the morning and they can also be a little annoying to remove. But it really takes no time to clip them onto your hair and how you style it is completely down to personal preference.
They don’t cause damage if you’re careful
People often think that using hair extensions causes damage to your real hair. In reality, you can only really damage your hair if you’re not being careful with them. For instance, if you clip heavy extensions full of accessories onto the very ends of your hair, then there’s a good chance that it’ll feel heavy and will potentially pull your hair down. As long as you’re careful with how many extensions you use and the weight of them, there should be no damage to your hair.
It adds volume to your hair
One of the keys to a beautiful hairstyle is adding plenty of volume to give it a luscious appearance. Hair extensions are a fantastic way to bulk up your hair to make it look full of life, but you may need a considerable number of extensions depending on the current status of your hair.
Reasons to avoid hair extensions
But hair extensions do come with a few downsides. Here are the two biggest ones that we could think of.
Good hair extensions cost a bit of money to maintain
Maintaining hair extensions can be costly, especially if you’re getting ones made from real human hair that has been made ethically and responsibly. As long as you treat your extensions as you would regular hair, you can keep them for a very long time and continue to reuse them over and over again.
Some hair extension companies are exploitative
Exploitation in the hair extension industry isn’t unheard of, but there are plenty of ethical companies that are completely transparent about their processes and how they get a hold of their hair to use in extensions. Always look for a reputable company to get your hair extensions from so you can avoid supporting these shady practices.
