How bad are the hair extension damage your hair? Do they really bad?

From hair loss to headaches, whether it is thinning or thick hair, there is an underlying view that hair extensions are unsafe. People say they are harmful to your hair. However, before sticking to this point of view, you must first figure out whether the actual hair extension will damage your hair! Or maybe the wrong and bad fusion method should be blamed? Some women add hair strands weighing 300 grams or more! Others ignore the general advice, which is the first reason this belief is deeply ingrained in our hearts.

1. Do hair extensions damage your hair?

If the hair extensions are properly connected, they will not damage your hair. Like everything else in life, technology is important. Even applying makeup on the face can damage the skin. Yes, there are some chemicals. However, if you do not exceed the top, then you don’t need to worry.

What can cause hair damage?

The biggest problem with hair extensions is not hair extensions, but the people who install extensions for you. Whether it's an inexperienced stylist that damaged your hair, or it comes from an extra-thick hair cover that does cause headaches/scalp pain or even hair loss. Please refer to our buying guide for more information about the weight you should receive for sending and receiving. What is the magic number? The weight should not exceed 200 grams.

In addition, when someone tries to install the hair extension by themselves, the hair extension may cause damage. When someone doesn't know what they are doing, DIY installation is easy to make mistakes! Especially when we talk about more complex methods, such as hot fusion or cold fusion. If you are not a professional or at least have some experience with these methods, then you are likely to do something wrong and eventually damage the extension or your natural strands. Again, this is not the extension's fault, but the bad installation. Anyone who is not confident about applying any extension type at home should contact an experienced hairdressing professional.

Damaging hair extensions by design

Now, some methods will deliberately "damage" your hair. For example, keratin hair extensions are attached with the help of melted hair protein (keratin). These will definitely leave marks on your hair, but as far as we are concerned, this damage is intentional, just like sticking fake nails.

No real damage can be counted as damage. In other cases, you will not suffer from hair loss or thinning hair. In most cases, this is a direct result of applying various chemicals to the hair to remove grafts.

2. What maintenance is important?

Another reason some girls end up damaging their hair is to avoid improper or improper hair care. Each extension type has some maintenance requirements, which should be followed to keep them and your natural strands healthy and beautiful.

Those who ignore these rules may end up in a mess. For example, if you don't comb your hair, your natural hair and extensions will all be entangled. To create dreadlocks, there is no other way to remove the extensions other than forcibly pulling them out, or worse, cutting off the hair.

This may sound extreme to you, but unfortunately, not all girls take maintenance advice seriously and end up harming their locks. If the washing is not done properly, there will be problems with the washing. Hair is always more sensitive when it is wet, so if you pull or pull the hair, or scrub it very hard, you may cause damage to the hair. Therefore, we always advise our customers to care about their extensions and be more careful.

Another thing to consider is sleeping with extensions. Before you go to sleep with your new hair, first check whether your hair extension type can sleep. For example, you can use hot fusion, cold fusion, and tape insertion to extend to the bed. On the other hand, we do not recommend using clip-in or flip-up extensions to sleep all night.

In addition, if you are using any semi-permanent methods such as keratin extension, microbeads, or tape, please don't forget to reinstall your extension.

3. What are the safest hair extensions?

The safest and lowest "risk" hair extension we recommend is the clip-on hair extension.

You don't even need a stylist to apply them if you decide to use the highest quality clip-ins (from SeamHair). You can always choose the right weight, from 50 to 200 grams.

The application of the clip in the expansion does not involve any chemicals, glue, tape, heat, beads, or anything similar. It consists of weft yarns with clamps and can be installed safely and easily. You can do it at home, even if you didn't do it right the first time, you can remove the weft at any time and start again without causing any damage or pressure on your lock.

Do hair extensions cause headaches?

What if you feel uncomfortable wearing them and have a headache? This may be due to improper connection of the clip or excessive hair. For the first solution, all you need to do is take a few more minutes to adjust them and the problem will disappear. Another thing to avoid is sleeping with plug-in extensions. This is not a permanent method and you should not use the clamp to sleep. That is by design. Doing so will not only cause damage to the hair extension, but it will also cause damage to your hair.

What if you need a more durable 100% safe method? Cold fusion, also known as microring extension. These will fuse your strands with small loops or beads. There is no heat and no glue is needed. The beads are also easy to remove without causing harm. The hairstylist only needs to open the beads and the hair extension will fall off immediately. For more safety, we recommend that you hire a professional hairdresser to fix the beads.

Conclusion

Hope you now have a better understanding of whether hair extensions are safe to use and whether they will damage your hair.
