It is fine to want to be frugal in certain aspects of your life. You want the cheapest price you can get on gas, food and clothes. It’s important to stretch your finances as far as they can go, especially in a failing economy. However, there are some things you should never be cheap on. Hair extensions are one of these things. You might be tempted to go out and purchase cheap hair extensions, especially if you’re going to an event that only lasts for a short while, such as prom or a wedding. But there are some things you need to consider before you make your final decision.

When has quantity ever been better than quality? Many people live by the idea that they can go to a discount store and get more in quantity for the price of one quality item. We’ve all done this before. One bottle of name brand water may be worth three bottles of store brand water. In this case, you’ll buy the store brand, because water is water. But the same can’t be said for all items. Quality hair extensions are much better for your hair than cheap hair extensions. Unlike water, hair extensions should be considered a long-term investment.

Good hair extensions do not kink or matt up after a short period of time. You shouldn’t have to fight with your hair extensions when you try to treat it like your own hair. Cheap hair extensions are made from synthetic hair. It’s better if you stick with human hair for hair extensions. You can find human hair in any colour that you want. Once it’s attached to your hair, you can treat it just like your own hair. In fact, human hair extensions need to be washed and conditioned in order to keep their healthy look about them.

How long should quality hair extensions last? It depends on the methods used to attach them to your hair. If they’re braided or twisted in, they can last up to three months. If they’re attached through micro rings, they can last up to five months or more. Cheap hair extensions, on the other hand, last a bare minimum of one week. They can’t be reused either. Once they’re done, you’ll have to go out and buy more. Do the math. Would you rather buy new hair every week, or every three to five months?

Clip in human hair extensions have their place in the beauty world. They are used to fill in or fill out parts of your hair when you’re wearing certain hairstyles that require lots of volume. Celebrities use these hair extensions as a quick fix for a hair style that needs to be just perfect for only a few hours. They are normally only supposed to be in your hair for 12 hours or less. This is really stretching it. The ideal time period is actually 6 hours or less. However many people think that they can wear clip in extensions for longer than this period of time. They feel that it’s harmless and that it won’t damage your hair if you use it every once in a while.

This assumption isn’t entirely true. Clip in human hair extensions can damage your hair. They add stress to your hair and to your scalp. If you use clip in extensions in roughly the same spots on a regular basis, you can wind up thinning out your hair in those spots. You can also wind up pulling your hair out if they aren’t removed the proper way. There are alternatives to clip in hair extensions. These methods are stress free on your hair, and are not easy to detect. They actually help protect your hair from damage, and last much, much longer than traditional clip in extensions.

One method is the micro ring. The micro ring is just a very tiny ring that is attached to your hair by or near the roots of your hair. The ring itself is the same colour as your hair, so it is difficult for others to tell you’re wearing extensions. It is lightweight, so it doesn’t weigh down your hair and make your head feel heavy. And because it’s a ring that surrounds your hair, it doesn’t put stress on your hair either. This is a great alternative to clip in human hair extensions, gluing and braiding. It can add volume and colour to your hair without the normal damage that comes from wearing hair extensions.

Micro rings are often used by people who have thinning hair as well. They can cover up bald spots or patches where your hair is thinning. Again, there is no added stress to your hair with micro rings. In fact, unlike clip in human hair extensions, using micro rings actually makes your hair healthier. It surrounds your hair with the extension, so that your hair isn’t exposed to the normal, everyday activities that damage it.
