Most hair comes from India, Russia or South America, and is value priced.
Hair from Europe tends to be better quality however will be substantially dearer.
Indian hair is very thick and strong and is usually straight and can be cut, dyed, coloured and set to any desired hair style.
synthetic extensions are also available, and were popular for years before human hair was mainstream.
However, synthetic hair never really replicates the properties of real hair, and is now regarded as a poor choice, however its price is low and thus it is still attractive for some consumers.
Techniques for attaching hair extensions are varied, and it is best to ensure you are aware of all the alternatives before you commit to a technique, or are forced into one by a pushy hair stylist.
Extensions come in what is termed a 'weft' of hair, which is essentially a matched parcel of hairs that will then form the basis of the procedure of attachment.
Methods of attachment include bonding, gluing, weaving, braiding or using small anchors to attach hair.
Extensions usually require at least 3-4inches of hair to be successful and are also a viable option for those with thin hair, as a medium to thicken hair to cover bald or thin areas.
Extensions are an expensive process, however if money is not an option, you will be very impressed with the results! Expect to pay at least $500 for an extensions job, which will require further on going maintenance at around 3 month intervals, as hair grows out from under the extensions.
Surgery: Gone are the days when hair implants resulted in a awful looking checkerboard scalp and vicious sores that took weeks to heal! Modern surgery replaces lost hair in a non offensive manner, with the least amount of scalp damage possible.
You will receive hair roots that are genetically disposed to be strong and resistant to DHT effects, and will last your lifetime.
These are taken from the rear of the scalp, and inserted under the hair loss effected areas to thicken and disperse new growth where it is needed.
Again, it is not a cheap route, but modern techniques have made this option all the more realistic for sufferers to explore.
Hair Thickners/Volumisers: Some shampoos claim to have thickening properties, and this is true to a certain extent.
What occurs is the hair shaft is opened along its length and stimulated to obtain a larger girth.
This measure is temporary and can lead to weakening of the hair over time, so is recommended as an in-frequent measure for styling purposes or similar.
In addition, some powders available on the market can promote thick hair, covering bald patches.
These are a 'shake on' application and again, are not permanent, purely a cosmetic option.
However, if it makes you feel good for that special night out, then its all the more worth it!
