Natural Hair Extension

In the world of hair extensions, a natural hair extension is truly the cream of the crop. These are of the quality that no one will even detect that they are not truly your own hair. The look and feel is that of real hair and depending on how they are applied, no one will be the wiser.

With synthetic extensions, the hair is often plastic and shiny. They will practically scream fake hair. While there are some good quality synthetic extensions, they are few and far between. You do have a choice and that choice will determine how you are perceived—as a fake wannabe or as a natural girl next door.

When you choose to go with extensions made of real hair, you will retain your right to hair privacy. Only your stylist and you will know the real truth. Volume and length will be gently and easily applied without compromising the integrity of your natural hair. Your hair will appear natural in every sense of the word. Your extensions will feel like your own hair. You may even forget that you are wearing hair extensions.

There are many different methods to apply a natural hair extension. You may choose to have them weaved into your own hair. In this process, your stylists will make a pathway around the head that is close to the scalp. The extension hair is sewn directly onto the pathway. Your own hair will lie over the pathway giving it a look that is natural.

The next technique is called strand by strand or fusion. In this technique, your stylist will grasp each strand of hair in small sections. Your stylist will use heated adhesive sticks made especially for the extensions. They will use a special type of glue gun to put the extensions into place. The stylist will add the extension hair directly to your own hair. Your hair will then lie over the top of the extension, giving your hair a natural look.

Bonding is the easiest method. A special bonding glue will be applied onto the extension hair. This will then be applied to your hair at the roots. This method is considered to be temporary.

When you choose an extension made of real hair, you have the option of coloring your extension to match your own hair. You will also be able to choose to have highlights and lowlights.

You can even get the extension permed if you so desire.
