Hair Extension Results

If you are spending your hard earned money on a product or service, you naturally want to get your money’s worth, right? And naturally, if you want some hair extensions, then you want to have the perfect result, right? Most salons and stylists would promise to give you the ‘perfect result’ each time you ask. But what entails a “perfect result” when it comes to hair extensions anyway?




But let’s get some things straight first. Hair extensions will never be perfect. ‘Perfect’, for me, would mean permanence. And let’s face it, if you get some hair extensions, you’d be lucky if they last for the better part of the year. However, you can get as close to perfect as you can – and in the case of hair extensions, near-perfection means the maximum amount of longevity and excellent quality. Make sure you deal with a reputable vendor who is well known in the industry.
Maximum Longevity

Hair extensions typically last for four to six months. But that really depends on the type of fusion you used. Hot fusion in hair extensions is a very popular method and it costs less but its longevity is lower than that of cold fusion. Cold fusion has just recently been rising in popularity, it definitely lasts longer and produces better results.Longevity also depends on how you take care of your new hair extensions, here are some hair care tips. If you don’t follow your stylist’s instructions to the letter, then your hair extensions wouldn’t last as long as your stylist promised that they would. Using too many chemicals would also shorten the longevity of your extensions because too much chemical treatment would destroy the hair’s cuticles. And the cuticles are usually the ones offering protection.
Excellent Quality

Also, the state of the cuticles has an influence not only over the hair extension’s longevity but also on the quality. Chinese hair usually doesn’t last very long since it is excessively treated with chemicals and its natural cuticles have already been removed. European hair is also good but it’s really hard to find genuine European hair in the market. And also, you could expect that European hair has already been treated with chemicals even before it was cut. Good quality Indian hair, on the other hand, has good longevity because its cuticles are still intact. Indian hair is not called virgin Remy hair for nothing. It is known for it’s durability and beautiful presentation. Women in India use natural herbs to clean their hair so their cuticles are usually in good health. Indian hair extension history is very meaningful and has deep roots, it’s all a very interesting process!

Excellent quality also means that your hair extensions should look natural. And for this, the type of weft is vital. Hand-tied wefts usually look more natural than machine wefts. Some people feel that machine wefts are more durable and have thinner wefts, it really just comes down to personal preference. Here are a couple more important tips you should keep in mind.
