Are Extensions Bad for Your Hair?

There is a myth running around the beauty world that hair extensions, real or fake, are bad for your natural hair and scalp. Well, this is wrong. Hair extensions will only damage your natural hair and scalp if they are applied wrong or not taken care of. Like any cosmetic procedure, upkeep is crucial and how the application process proceeds is even more important.

If you buy hair extensions with my company, Pelo Hair Los Angeles, or any other company- the key is to have a professional apply the extensions. According to Allure.com, “Professionals should have undergone training; this is not something you want to have done at your local nail salon. And you should go back to your stylist for maintenance at least once a month. The stylist will make sure that the extensions are on properly, and if one is pulling at the hair, they'll remove it and reapply it the proper way. They can also rotate the areas that they put the hair extensions on so it's not the same group of hairs under stress every time. Rotating means less damage to the hair follicles. “

Clip-in hair extensions also don’t pull as much as other extensions. If you have a super sensitive scalp, or prior damage, then this may be a good option. Again, no one type of extension is better than the other re: damage. In fact, damage is very minimal when hair extensions are applied correctly and well cared for.

June and July weddings are on the rise for 2013. Wedding planners are stating that more and more women are choosing to get married in the summer, where years past it was the spring. Another trend that is emerging is long bridal hair. Years past women would request fancy or simple up dos. Either simple or intricate, a bride's hair has been traditionally off of her shoulders in years past. 2013 is going to be different. Women are requesting long, simple hair to mirror short simple gowns.

We source bridal hair from temples in India. We dub our Indian hair as "bridal hair" because of its wavy and silky texture. The hair can be worn natural, or you can flat iron or curl it. It is perfect worn as long flowing locks, especially on one's wedding day. You can view our Indian hair by clicking here: http://www.pelo-hair.com/#!indian-hair-/c1ycn
