5 common myths about hair extensions
Because we want to offer you the desired look every time, the perfect hairstyle for the occasion or event you are about to attend, we provide you with professional products and hairstyling specialists who can help you in this regard. You have no reason to worry, you will be in good hands and you will notice, just like all the other clients who have visited our store, that the results we can offer you will exceed your expectations.
We know you have questions, we know you want some clarifications regarding hair extensions, the type that suits you, but such things should not stop you from giving yourself that hair you only dream of, because Mother Nature did not bless you as much as you would have liked in this regard.
If extensions can help you considerably, there is also another side to the situation. We refer here to some preconceptions, so-called myths surrounding extensions. Here are the ones most frequently encountered among our clients, myths about which we will tell you a few things.
1. Extensions affect aesthetics
The catch here is that once applied, the extensions will look visibly different from the natural hair they are applied to. To a large extent, such a myth is true, but only if the hands applying the extensions are not professional.
This is not the case with the hairstyle specialists at Belher, so even if you have, for example, clip-on extensions that you were told you can apply yourself, to make sure they won't be visible and won't clash with your natural hair, choose to have them installed by us.
Maybe you worry about an inappropriate color choice or the application of extensions resulting in disproportionate volume or uneven lengths. Our specialists will ensure that such drawbacks are avoided, helping you both in choosing the right color of extensions and in applying them evenly so that they flatter you.
2. Extensions are not suitable for every hair type
Some opinions say that for fragile and thin hair, it is not advisable to apply extensions. Since quite a few women are in this situation, we bring good news!
Extensions can be applied regardless of hair type, with a suitable solution for everyone. The only condition is that the installation is done by a professional hairstylist who will know how to choose the right type of extensions depending on the natural hair type they will be applied to.
3. Extensions are hard to install
Partly this myth is true, because not every type of extension can be installed by a person who is not specialized in this field. Clip-on types can be easily attached and removed by the wearer, but when it comes to other types of extensions such as keratin or sewn-in ones, they definitely need to be installed by a professional hand.
4. Extensions damage hair health
We also debunk this myth, as extensions do not affect the wearer's hair in any way if applied correctly and properly maintained. Without being affected in any way, the hair follows its natural growth cycle, and the wearer enjoys the desired look.
5. Extensions are hard to care for
Another myth says that hair extensions are hard to care for. This is absolutely not true!
If we talk about natural hair extensions, care and washing are done similarly to natural hair, with special products, about which we can provide you with more information at our salon. Practically, such extensions can be washed, dyed, and styled just like the natural hair of the person wearing them.
When it comes to synthetic fiber extensions, there are indeed some restrictions regarding dyeing, heat treatment applied to them, or styling - our experts can always offer you recommendations in this regard to ensure a sufficiently long usage duration of the extensions.
