Hair Extension Methods

Are you interested in elongating, thickening, or beautifying your hair?  Then hair extension methods are the exact way to go to achieve new heights of glamour with your hair. 

Models, celebrities, and socialites are all sporting the new trend - hair extensions.  With the right hair extension methods you too can add flair to your look easily with many different methods.  Don't be fooled by astronomical hair salon prices for applying hair extensions, or even the price of the hair itself.  There are many ways around spending unnecessary amounts of money to achieve the look you want.  For one, buying your hair wholesale is a good starting option. That way you always have extra hair and tracks in case you want to try a new method, and you can experiment until you find a way that works for you.  When buying your hair in bulk there are a lot of factors to consider such as length, price, color, and most importantly, human, synthetic, or mixed.  Human hair always conveys a more natural look and can blend with your real hair quite beautifully.  Human hair is also good cause you can do whatever you want to the hair, including using heat to curl, straighten or dyes to alter the color.  With synthetic hair it is not always guaranteed that you can alter it like that and sometimes synthetic hair is considered a more one time use kind of thing.  Synthetic hair is always ridiculously soft and luxurious however.  With the hair extension methods of mixed hair it seems you get the best of both worlds, although the hair might not be as long lasting as human hair.

Once you buy your hair you might be puzzled as how to actually get it to attach to your hair (whether permanently or not).  There are quite a few hair extension methods that you can do yourself or ask a friend to help.  The most popular, clip in extensions, is not permanent but reusable.  There shouldn't be any discomfort if the clips are placed in the correct manner.  For a more permanent application, you can use glue to glue wefts/tracks to the roots of your hair at the most bottom layer.  This of all hair extension methods may get messy!  So we suggest you ask a friend for help.  Another way to apply hair permanently is to have it sewn in, like gluing, to the roots of your hair.  You cannot do this yourself at all, because it involves skilled braiding (cornrowing) and sewing the tracks to the braids.  This is the most long lasting of the methods that won't break the bank.  You should seek a professional if you are interested in other methods such as strand to strand hair bonding, which is a long and expensive process.
