Application
The hair extensions is braided around the real hair strands and heat sealed with a bonding agent. Always get hair extensions done by a professional hair dresser. If you attempt to do it yourself, you might end up spoiling the whole look as it is a very complicated and time consuming procedure which has to be done according to specifications.
Although, how long you want to keep your hair extensions is totally your decision, normally well applied extensions last for anywhere from three to four months.
Hair extensions need to be cared for in the same manner as chemically treated hair. Use good quality hair products as hair extensions wear off slightly with every wash.
To remove the hair extensions, gently snap the seal by twisting it. Better still, get the extensions removed professionally.
Disadvantages
The glue burns your hair ends.
Excess pressure on scalp due to weight of extensions.
However, the advantage of quickly having a great new look far outweighs the disadvantages.
