Where did this obsession with thick, beautiful hair begin? The answer: In Hollywood, of course, where most fashion statements begin. Actresses (and actors) who needed to go from short hair to long hair in a heartbeat found Hair Extensions much simpler and more natural-looking than wearing a wig or hair system. With Hair Extensions, they didn’t have to worry about losing their hair while tussling in a love scene or swimming on the beach.

And the audiences? Well, we all ooh’d and ahh’d over their gorgeous locks. We wanted hair like that, too. As Hair Extensions made the red carpets, gossip magazines and onto our grocery store shelves, the market for Hair Extensions exploded into neighborhood hair salons and Hair Replacement studios. And many of us paid dearly to get them.

Granted, few of us will ever look like Nicole or Sienna or even Rachel on ‘Friends.’ And frankly, most of us don’t need to. We have plenty of hair. For most, Hair Extensions are a fashion statement. Or a nod to our dreams of looking like … them. But for others, having full thick hair is something they have only dreamed about.

Ree Galloway knew all about baby-fine hair. She’d been born with it. Her hair was so fine, a baby barrette could practically hold back all of it. And in her thirties, with the stress of a pregnancy and a full time job, her already thin hair began to fall out. Stress-related Alopecia, or hair loss, like this is often temporary, but that doesn’t make the problem any easier to live with.

Ree’s issues were entirely different from the normal Hair Extensions candidate that can walk into any local salon for a quick fix. Her hairdresser advised her to seek out Hair Replacement experts who knew how to apply Hair Extensions to thinning hair to provide the greatest benefit. Ree did just that and found a local clinic where the Hair Replacement technician explained to her the different options for Hair Extensions.

At the bottom of the list, she explained, are synthetic Hair Extensions, which are cheap and, frankly, look unnatural. At this Hair Replacement clinic they didn’t offer anything but genuine human hair. Asian hair is beautiful, but is always dark and straight and course textured to start with. So many Caucasians prefer European hair, which is often lighter in color originally and has a more compatible texture-again, a little more expensive. African American hair was even trickier to match, but that clinic also specialized in nonsurgical Hair Replacement in that area.

Ree’s next decision was which type of Hair Extensions would work best for her? The ones she saw most in salons being applied were individual strands either glued or clamped in place. These Hair Extensions are great looking, the technician explained, but there are drawbacks. Inevitably, they damage your hair when they are removed. And for people with already challenged hair, like Ree’, that can be a problem. Plus, they cannot be reused. After the hair grows out, these Hair Extensions are thrown away and new ones must be purchased.

The other option, the one many people seem to prefer is hair wafts. These are long sweeps of hair attached to combs, which are sewn into a tiny horizontal braid on the scalp. Not only is the process less damaging to hair, but also these wafts can be used over and over again once they are purchased. And when you consider how expensive Hair Extensions can be, recycling them seems a pretty good economical decision. With Ree’s type of hair loss, the wafts turned out to be her choice. The technician matched her hair color exactly and attached hair waft Hair Extensions that filled out and filled in the hair she had lost.

Getting her Hair Extensions applied by a Hair Replacement expert turned out to be no more expensive than using her own hairdresser and for the money, she got exactly the look she wanted. A year later, when her baby-fine hair began growing back in, Ree decided to keep using her Hair Extensions, because she’d discovered what so many people with her problem do: a full head of hair gave her confidence. She never again needed to worry that someone was staring at her thinning hair. Best of all, you can treat Hair Extensions just like your own hair. Once the wafts go in, they stay in until they grow out enough to be removed and re-attached.

Whether you’re dealing with permanent hair loss due to an accident or illness, or you’re experiencing some temporary hair loss, Hair Extensions may very well be a viable option for you. They work best in cases where the hair loss is not severe and where the client still has enough hair to conceal the Hair Extensions or wafts.

Once you decide you are going to take the plunge and pay that initial cost, which kind of Hair Extensions are right for you? Some of your decision will depend on your issues. The truth is, for many people, like Ree, getting Hair Extensions is not a fashion decision. She wanted Hair Extensions to feel good about herself. Getting first class human Hair Extensions through a reputable Hair Replacement clinic is, no question, a costly venture, but well worth the price if your self-esteem has been damaged by thinning hair. Because feeling beautiful is not just for movie stars any more.

Hair extensions were once only a popular option for many cultures other than the Caucasian race. Especially popular in the African American community, they can be purchased in large or small quantities, and in various colors, textures, and grades. In today’s society, celebrities are making hair extensions a popular choice for people of all cultures, races, and origins. There are many different kinds of hair extensions that you can buy, and you should be fully informed as to how to shop for them properly, as well as using them properly, before you invest any money in the process.

First and foremost, you need to know how to choose the hair extensions that will work best for your hair. You can find hair extensions salons that can help you with the entire process from start to finish, but if you’re looking to shop on your own, here are some tips to help. The color range varies, and covers the entire spectrum of natural hair colors and synthetic hair can even be purchased in more unnatural colors such as blue, green, orange, bright red, and yellow. If you’re buying naturally colored hair, the box will have a number on it, which denotes the color. Usually, 0 is the lowest number, which is black, and they go up from there. The exact number depends on the manufacturer, and it can vary from one to the next.

There are also many different textures of hair extensions to choose from, depending on the type of hair you have. You can get any style you want, from curly and wavy to straight, thin, Asian-style hair. Human hair has many fewer options for texture than synthetic hair, so you’ll need to keep that in mind when you’re choosing what kind of hair you want. Next up is the quality of the hair extensions that you buy. Virgin hair is known as hair that hasn’t been colored or processed in any manner. It is cut to maintain direction and can be sold in bulk or on pre-formed pieces and wigs. Remy hair is the other type of quality available. It refers to hair that is all human, and the hair is organized with all the roots at the same end. It’s much longer lasting and stays detangled longer on average than synthetic hair.

There are many different ways to integrate these pieces once you’ve purchased them. Whether using ‘track and sew’ processes which stitch the extensions right into the natural hair, or bonded glue or clips to attach the extensions, you should research all options before you choose your method of integration. Unless you’ve been doing your own for an extended time, hair extensions salons will usually give you better results than doing your own.

A concern not only experienced by men but by a growing number of women is Alopecia, or the excessive and abnormal loss of healthy hair. Disturbing situations and genetics can be the cause of hair thinning and loss and also by hormonal ups and downs, too much physical force or lack of good nutrition. An important first step is discussing hair loss with your doctor. There is a selection of treatments on offer these days that make hair loss or thinning hair more bearable. For thousands of people globally, everyday is a "bad hair" day because of the dilemma of thinning hair or baldness. These factors affect both men and women, hair thinning and loss usually occurs for:
Men The most well-known pattern of hair loss is a thinning crown or receding hair line. Due to the presence of a derivative or by-product of testosterone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT) hair loss happens. This hormone can contract the hair follicles and has a larger effect in the mid-anterior scalp and temples. Some categories of male hair loss are: Chronic Diffuse Alopecia - can happen because of nutritional, metabolic or endocrine matters. Acute diffuse alopecia - occurs from physical or psychological reasons such as hormones, nutritional shortages or medications. Androgenetic Alopecia - occurs because of genetic sensitivity to male hormones. This hardly ever affects women.
Women Hormonal fluctuations, ie during pregnancy, childbirth or use of some methods of contraception can result in hair thinning and loss. Also experienced by females: Traction alopecia - this is caused by harsh hair styles, for example ponytails that are pulled too tight, cornrows, braiding or too frequent use of hair extensions. These actions pull at your hair over time but loss can be helped if recognized and dealt with early on. Anagen effluvium - this is due to chemotherapy. The matrix of the hair becomes broken and results in the hair shaft narrowing, eventually splintering.
Men and women can minimize or even prevent hair thinning or loss, if detected early enough, by using several over-the-counter treatments such as: Daily vitamin supplement - look for ones labelled especially for hair and/or nails and are fortified with Vitamin B3 (niacin), this protects the hair shaft, and antioxidants, to ward off damage from free radicals. A shampoo that states "revitalizing/fortifying/energizing" - this will nourish and protect existing hair while removing oils that can block the follicles and prevent re-growth. A weekly use, leave-in scalp treatment made with essential oils - oils such as lavender and orange will relax and unblock hair follicles to promote growth, regulate oil production and maintain cell repair. As with any treatment, results will vary and may to need to be continued on a constant basis. Also, allow approximately 6-8 weeks before seeing results.
Disguising hair loss techniques: Maybe it’s time to consider some techniques to disguise your hair loss if you are dissatisfied with your thinning hair. Whether you’re male or female losing hair due to genetics, stress, medication or a medical circumstance you can use these methods to help you cope. Using a Thickening Hair Shampoo or Conditioner Use a thickening hair shampoo and conditioner intended to camouflage hair loss by making the hair seem to be thicker. Brush your hair lightly after you have shampooed and conditioned to prevent losing even more hair, and let your hair dry completely before you comb or brush it.
Hair Styling Methods for Thicker Looking Hair Here are a few methods and styling products that can be used, if your head of hair is not as thick as it once was, to keep your hair looking its best. Blow drying thin hair for a fuller appearance. For thinning hair, try blow drying your hair after you have washed and conditioned it and then comb your hair in front all the way back. Use a light hairspray or a mousse to keep your style in place. The blow drying will prevent your hair from matting and make it appear thicker than it is. Opt for hair texturizing lotions and creams that will provide you with abundance and volume. Use a leave-in hair conditioner as they can make your hair appear fuller and more textured. Pass up on hair gels as they matte your hair together and exaggerate your hair loss.
Hair extensions are a quick and simple method Use a professional hair salon to get natural human hair added to your hair. This may last you for several weeks or several months. Hair extensions are used for women and men, with thick long hair to camouflage the fact that they are losing hair, and are an easy way to change your look.
Blow-dry your Hair Consider blow drying if your hair is thinning on top to give it added texture and body and to give your head more coverage. Brush it into a quiff on top of your head by brushing it from the forehead up. Maintain the style with a little hairspray. If your hair is thinning throughout, this is a good way to make your hair look fuller. Chaps -Getting a Buzz from your Hair The buzz cut is a way to disguise the fact that you are losing hair. Businessmen, sports stars and actors all use this as a classy, style that is easy to maintain. Groom your scalp daily and remove the hairs you have left for a clean, fresh look by using a wet-dry electric razor. If you’re disturbed about your hair loss or if your hair is starting to thin, make an appointment with your hairdresser or barber and request some advice on a fresh, new look. There are plenty of hair styles to choose from that have you looking great.

Technorati Tags: Hair Extensions Are Not Just For The Celebs

Hair extensions are a hot trend with all women. The intrigue is sparked by the convenience and aesthetic of owning one or more hair extension pieces. Like purchasing a wig, owning hair extensions provides the opportunity to change your look with ease without the hassle or the expense of attending professional salons.

Types of hair extensions

Clip-on extensions are the most popular form of extensions. They are easy to use and are not harmful to your own hair. You can choose from synthetic hair extensions or natural hair extensions.Hair extensions are now one of the most sought after ‘must have’ beauty accessories around and if you are anything like me and do not want to have to wait and grow your own hair, hair extensions are great because they allow you to have long hair in an instant. This means you can have your own hair cut very short but by adding some hair extensions it will look as though you have very long hair.

To start you have to understand what hair extensions are. Hair extensions are strips of real human hair. The strips of hair come in a package and they can be attached via different methods. Some people sew it in, some glue and some use methods such as fusion or Clip-in. Since hair extensions are made from human hair it can be styled like real hair. That means you can wash it, style it , curl it or do any other style that is possible. Hair extensions can last up to 6 months to a year, depending on the type of hair that you receive.

Hair Extensions can also give your hair volume, length, highlights, lowlights and texture instantly. A tiny attachment piece is placed 1/4" away from the scalp and human hair is blended to match a clients color. Hair extensions are made from a range of human and synthetic fibers.

Human hair extensions are available in two basic formats — strands and wefts. The strands format involves adding small sections of hair to your existing hair. Wefts are large clumps of hair attached at the top. Human hair extensions can be applied in a variety of ways. One popular method is to sew the extensions into small cornrows. Professionals will often sew strands with subtle color variations — this tends to give the extensions a more natural look. Hair extensions can also be weaved, braided, fused, clamped, or glued.

Hair extensions can be pricey, ranging from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars—again depending on the method and the quality of hair. Generally speaking, the higher the price of the hair, the higher the quality. Although you should be aware that the human hair industry is not regulated and it is hard to verify quality in some cases.

Hair extensions are here to stay. Women will always want to use fake hair to ensure that their beauty is maintained. Using these extensions is another way that they achieve this. While it is very popular, there are still different ways to attach the hair. The hair can be attached either as a Clip-in or through fusion. In the end extensions make a woman look good.
