Introduction to Hair Extensions Consumer Guide

Preface

If you are going to invest the time and money to get hair extensions, you need to know all the facts as hair extensions are NOT a one size fits all.
 

This book was written to present all the facts in one place and to save you valuable time and money in your quest for hair extensions.

Hair Extensions-The complete consumers guide to getting hair extensions will bring you the very latest solutions and advances in hair extension methods. Much of the info on hair extensions is very hard to find and many salons/stylists and hair extension companies can be very secretive about their methods.

Armed with all the facts you'll be able to make informed choices about the type and method of hair extensions to pursue. All attempts have been made to include the most recent and factual research about hair extensions. However, there is no guarantee that future studies will not change the recommendations and information presented here.

Introduction

          We would like to EXTEND a warm welcome to everyone!!! May your hair extension decision be made with knowledge! We start with the hair that is used for the extensions, as there are many different terms and definitions for human and synthetic fiber hair. Your stylist will typically select and order the hair. Then we move to the methods to attach human or synthetic fiber hair extensions. Some methods will work better than others, depending on the condition of your hair and the purpose of your hair extensions. An experienced hair extension stylist will be able to tell you more about what method will work best for your hair situation.

There are companies that offer hair extension training for cosmetologists, or they just sell hair extension kits and products. We have included many of the hair extension companies that train and certify stylists. 

The consultation for hair extensions can be instrumental in alleviating many possible problems. Find out what is supposed to happen in the consultation, what your stylist should be asking you, and what you should ask your stylist. You must come to your consultation prepared with the right questions. We have compiled a list of various detailed questions for you to ask your stylist.

Many things can go wrong with hair extensions, thus making your research even more important. Some women have reported their hair falling out, the extension hair severely tangling, or even extreme discomfort with the added weight. Be aware of what can go wrong. Also important--each U.S. state and other countries have different requirements for doing hair extensions. Make sure your stylist has the proper license and training. This is in addition to making sure your stylist has the proper training for the type of extensions you are getting.

Finally you need to know how to find a hair extension salon in your area. Information on finding a stylist is included in the information for each of the hair extension companies. Hair Resources is always available to help you find a hair extension stylist in your area if you do not wish to contact any of the companies directly. Just send an Email to support@hrhairextensions.com  and list cities and zip codes that you would like to find a hair extension stylist and we will do our best to get you several different salons that offer some of the different methods available. If you still want to know more about hair extensions, we have included all of our website references, book references and individuals that we have spoken with in preparing this book.
