Are hair extensions a problem? Are they expensive? Do they not look natural?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It seems as though there\u2019s been a cloud of misconception about hair extensions since the moment they became popular. It seems few who haven\u2019t tried extensions know whether they are a literal weight on your shoulders \u2013 or a relief. For some, hair extensions are just a versatile accessory designed to help you get creative with your hair, but without any significant commitments. For others, they are a life-saver and the only way to achieve length and fullness.<\/span><\/p>\n If the jury is still out on whether they\u2019re the right choice for you, here are some hair extension myths debunked that shouldn\u2019t stand in the way of your decision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The days of exorbitant prices and exclusivity in the hair extension world are over! Synthetic extensions are just okay and a cheaper option, but you just can\u2019t beat the duration and quality of their natural counterparts. Hair extensions are a worthy investment of typically a couple of hundred dollars and mean you\u2019ll get to play with your look for weeks and months to come.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n All and all extensions have become more affordable and less exclusive for everyone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Many worry that hair extensions won\u2019t blend naturally, causing an unsightly, fake look. Thankfully, there\u2019s new technology that flawlessly color-matches for your hair, as well as state-of-the-art application methods that\u2019ll make them blend in seamlessly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n At Elan, we offer Bonded, Volume Weft, Tape In, I-Tips, Clip In and Halo Hair Piece, giving you many different blending options to select the right one for you. It will appear that your hair miraculously grew out overnight!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This particular myth isn\u2019t entirely untrue. However, there are many ways you can have your hair extensions applied. Some methods include using glue or heat on your hair, but these aren\u2019t the only methods out there. The most common and safest forms of hair extensions are clip-ins, Tape Ins or Bonded.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you or a friend have ever gone to the salon and asked for your locks to be donated, then you have a taste for how human hair extensions are sourced. People worldwide can cut and sell their healthy hair for a fair price, and reputable salons will often have partnerships with trustworthy manufacturers to ensure that your extensions come only from a willful participant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Many of us know the sensation of cutting off a few inches of hair and suddenly feeling 5 lbs lighter, so you may think the opposite is true. You may think that adding hair to your head will make you feel like you\u2019re carrying extra weight or that you\u2019ll have something tugging on your scalp and causing you discomfort. While there\u2019s a very brief adjustment period after putting your extensions on, there\u2019s no need to worry about the potential of headaches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, if this is a concern for you, you can always request that your hairstylist test your tolerance before deciding how much volume you\u2019d like on your hair.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n You may think you can only wear your hair extensions down and in silky smooth waves, but that\u2019s not the case at all. Hair extensions were made to play around with, and they give you the freedom to explore a plethora of hairstyles for all occasions. Try them in a high pony, regal princess braids, or down and casual.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n While an initial consultation with a licensed hairstylist is highly recommended (available with us here at Elan!) at the start of your hair extension journey, you don\u2019t have to wait to snag an appointment at the salon to maintain your hair extensions or even to put them on. Once you learn, you can take them home with you and experiment as you please.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Are you a hair extensions convert yet?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Are hair extensions a problem?
