Hair extensions are a great way to add immediate length, volume or highlights/lowlights without chemical processing to your hair. Human or synthetic fiber hair is attached, by one of many available methods, directly to your natural hair. 

Extensions have become more and more popular in the United States in the last ten years as advancements in hair extension methods allow the extensions to stay in the hair on a more permanent basis.  (Permanent meaning a few months)

In the 1970’s many African American Salons started doing hair extensions by sewing human hair wefts (human hair attached together at the top) into corn rows. As more and more women desire popular long hair styles, the hair extension industry in the United States has evolved to offer many different methods of attachment.

Once thought to be only for the rich and famous, hair extensions are now widely available to everyone and are much more affordable than in the past.

As research and development continues in the hair extension industry, the consumer is offered many different systems for adding hair extensions, making the hair extension decision more complicated. What system will you go with? How will it affect your natural hair? Should you use human hair or synthetic fiber hair? Which stylist do you pick? How do you take care of the extensions? How long do they last? The questions go on and on. Finding the answer sometimes can require a lot of research and digging. Hair Resources has already done a lot of ‘digging’ into hair extension methods based on inquiries about hair extensions from consumers around the world. This resulting book will educate you about the various methods and systems and answer your questions so that you can make an educated decision regarding hair extensions. There’s always a little comfort with knowledge. This book is not intended to tell you that one particular hair extension method is good and another one is bad. All hair extension companies claim that their system or method is non-damaging to the natural hair and all hair suppliers claim that they have the best quality human hair.

We will provide you with the descriptions of the methods, contact info for each of the companies and many other resources where you can read about people who have had hair extensions. With all of this information, you can make a better decision on what hair extension method would be best for your particular hair situation. We would like to answer all of your questions. However, if your particular question is not addressed, please Email it to mailto: support@hrhairextensions.com and we will do our best to
get you an answer. Also, we encourage you to visit our brand new forum for Hair
Extensions, located at http://www.hairresources.net and discuss your experience with hair extensions, or perhaps give someone else encouragement to get or not to get hair
extensions.            Enjoy!  Editor, Hair Extensions
