Did you know that about $90 billion is spent worldwide on hair care products around the world each year? Though this includes many different types of products, a large chunk is certainly hair extensions. Hair extensions are quite popular across the world. In this blog, we’ll explore why that might be with some benefits that hair extensions have for their wearers.
About Hair Extensions
Though they may end in a similar result of longer, thicker hair, there are several types of hair extensions used by people across the world. Fusion, or bonded, hair extensions are quite popular. These are extensions that are heat-bonded to your natural hair, so some length is required. Another type of extensions is tape-in extensions. These, as the name implies, are attached to the natural hair via double-sided tape. Finally, a weave, or sew-in extensions, can be applied. This is when natural hair is braided in rows and strands of hair are woven into the natural hair.
Regardless of type, hair extensions also come in a variety of quality levels. As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for when it comes to hair extensions. Be sure to do sufficient research prior to going through with the styling so that you can be sure you get the exact look and feel you are going for.
Benefits of Hair Extensions
Though there are many types and price ranges for hair extensions, the benefits largely are the same regardless. Some of these benefits include:
Boost Confidence
Hair extensions can make you feel really good about the way that you look, which can help boost your confidence. This can ultimately help you be more successful in work and in social settings.
Easy Maintenance
Hair extensions are relatively low maintenance in nature. Some hair extensions even come pre-styled, so that your morning hair routine slims down to almost nothing! Who doesn’t love the idea of spending time doing what you’d like to be doing instead of in front of the mirror?
All the Length, None of the Time
Many people struggle with the amount of time it takes to grow one’s hair out to the length it would be with extensions. This can take years for healthy hair and even more for unhealthy hair. Getting extensions is like skipping the line of hair growth and going right to the desired result.
Easy to Change
If you get tired of the hair extensions, they are fairly easy to remove or change. If you aren’t loving your current style, you can look for another with different texture, color, or other desired characteristics.
Hide Split Ends
Hair extensions are really great for hiding those pesky split ends that you can’t seem to get rid of no matter what. This is because these take the bottom position of your hair and will hide the ends of your hair, no matter which type of extension you choose.
Add Volume
Many people choose to get hair extensions simply to add more volume to their hair. This is certainly a great benefit of having extensions that many enjoy, especially those with thinner or more naturally flat hair.
