Many people look at photos in the media, and see these women with their lush long hair, and think ‘Why isn’t my hair as nice as that?’ Fact is, most people’s really isn’t. Celebrities and models have a team of hair stylists behind the scenes, with loads of options for colour, volume, length and style.
While more traditional methods of hair extensions are still widely used, such as the single bond (glue in) and micro-rings, some of the old school applications have turned out to be quite damaging to your own hair, and can therefore leave you with less than you started with!
Another fear is the ‘extension look’. Where you have loads of ratty tatty ends and its glaringly obvious you are wearing naff cheap extensions. If you can live with that, you can source your hair cheaply and be content with looking like a knock off queen.
However most of us don’t really want to rock the trailer trash look, so salon owner Fen spent a lot of time researching methods of hair application, and now has something for everybody.
You may have heard of Tape in extensions. Sound scary? Well, if youtube home videos are anything to go by, these can be just as bad as other methods if in the wrong hands. If you choose a stylist who has a proven track record with these, you’re in safe hands. Fen has been experimenting with this method for years. The hair is well sourced from several well known hair extension companies, who actually exist, rather than an ebay shop.
The method is quite simply, two thing wefts of hair, both with skin friendly tape, are adhered to eachother, with a section of your hair sandwiched in between. NO heat is needed with these, and a full head can be applied professionally in less than an hour. These extensions are quite easy to maintain by yourself, and reusable. Once every 4-6 weeks you pop in, have them removed, and rotated, this means that your own scalp has a chance to breathe and the extensions are not constantly on one area of the head, which can cause traction alopecia if prolonged wear takes place.
What is also great, is that you can use these extensions for a host of uses, filling out thinner gaps, blending growing out hairstyles, or even creating a completely new one on shorter hair.
Prices start from only £260 for a regular full head, and with your rotation at only £38 a go, its not more expensive than a regular salon appointment.
Fen has trained extensively with many different companies who offer this application method, and knows the necessity of quality and value too. She herself has had ‘dodgy’ extensions fitted by a ‘qualified’ hair extension technician.
So if you’d like some length in your life, contact the salon now for a free consultation.
