Be-Weave It or Not! 9 Common Hair Extension Myths Busted

Share on:

Hair extensions have developed into the go-to solution for creating luscious, voluminous styles. They are being used to grow out a short hair, imitate bangs or simply to elevate your everyday dull mane. Available in an extensive range of textures, colours and types, they add dramatic length and volume to hair.

However, some people still have concerns regarding hair extensions, which obviously holds them back and makes them cautious about making the leap.
 
Here we’re going to reveal the 9 most common myths about hair extensions.

 

MYTH #1: EXTENSIONS ARE USED ONLY FOR VANITY PURPOSES

Several people believe that a beautiful head of hair is a desire, not a necessity. Yet roughly 40 percent of women experience thinning of the hair by the time they reach 35. A lot of hair loss problems are manageable, and in some situations, the hair may regrow.

Although, a more suitable solution for thinning hair is hair extensions created to blend in with the real hair and provide a thicker looking appearance without causing any harm to the hair. The extensions with the lightest body are used for fine hair. These extensions are applied strand by strand to achieve a natural look.

 

MYTH #2: EXTENSIONS ARE OVERPRICED

 

Some women believe that the average person can’t afford hair extensions. Several years ago this was true when the cost of hair extensions was so high that only the rich and famous could afford them. Nowadays you don’t need to pay a small fortune for high-quality hair extensions.

Yes, natural hair extensions have somewhat higher prices than synthetic extensions, but they make up for it in duration and quality, and for that matter, they can last a long time if taken care of, and you will certainly get your dollars worth!

 

MYTH #3: EXTENSIONS RUIN HAIR

This is one of the biggest myths about hair extensions and some women avoid trying extensions due to fear of damaging their hair. It is important to mention that professionally applied hair extensions will not affect your natural hair at all. It also depends on the type of extensions used -glue-in cheap hair extensions that are glued in the hair can cause damage because the extensions will take some of the natural hair with them when they are pulled out.

While strand by strand, soft bonding hair extensions are not just long-lasting but also some of the most comfortable and safest ones. It is also important to follow the proper hair care routine to prevent any breakage or tangling and ensure that you use specific hair extension maintenance products.

 

MYTH #4: EXTENSIONS ARE HARD TO MAINTAIN

Properly installed hair extensions don’t require any professional care on a regular basis. The truth is that they are much easier to take care of than you think—for starters, it is all about being patient. As soon as you start to gain knowledge on their application and aftercare; maintaining your extensions become stress-free and easy!

 

MYTH #5: THE SOURCE OF THE HAIR IN NATURAL HAIR EXTENSIONS IS QUESTIONABLE

People from all over the world have been donating or selling their hair for an incredibly long period. High-quality human hair extensions from reputable salons come from regular, living individuals. What also gives premium extensions durability and high quality is the fact that they don’t get swept off the floor of a salon but instead come right from the donors long, healthy thick hair.

 

MYTH #6 EXTENSIONS WILL STOP HAIR GROWTH

Normally, hair grows about half an inch a month and will continue to grow, with extensions or not.  Extensions are greatly used when women are trying to grow out their natural hair. Nevertheless, you will be amazed how noticeable hair growth is with some types of extensions. And as the hair continues to grow, you should get your extensions redone every few months.

 

MYTH #7: EXTENSIONS WILL BE NOTICEABLE THROUGH YOUR REAL HAIR

Professionally done natural hair extensions use the latest technologies, they are expertly colour matched and blended seamlessly into your hair. This means that it is nearly invisible to the onlooker’s eye. There is, however, one exception to this myth — colourful hair extensions.

With these extensions applied to your hair, you, in fact, want the colourful locks to be noticed! The trick is the same, where and how you attach the strands so that colours are noticeable but the tape-in, clip-in, or glue-in parts are undetectable!

 

MYTH #8: EXTENSIONS ARE UNCOMFORTABLE TO WEAR

Beauty doesn’t have to be a painful task. When extensions are installed properly by a professional you will not feel any pain, either while they are being installed or when wearing them. It is common for some to experience slight discomfort in the first couple of days that the extensions have been put in (either while wearing ponytails or during sleep). But extensions are meant to fit your hair as naturally as possible and should feel just like real, natural hair within no time.

If you’re not comfortable taking that route but still want to dramatise your hairstyle, you can always choose the five-minute clip-in extensions for a drastic change to your look!

 

MYTH #9: EXTENSIONS AREN’T COMPATIBLE WITH ACTIVE LIFESTYLES

While there are some precautions you can take to help your hair extensions last, extensions can be worn at the gym. If you have clip in hair extensions we recommend removing them before you work up a sweat, but tape in hair extensions are applied using an adhesive that can withstand sweat.
 
There have been many concerns in the beauty industry regarding the use of extensions. So, we felt the need to bust the top 9 hair extension myths so that you can have a clearer picture and make informed decisions about your hair!
