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.

Still have questions? Please feel free to call or visit me at the store. I’m always happy to offer insight on our products and hair extensions in general.

Until next time,

2013 Emmy Edition

Hi Everyone, As you know, I went to the GBK Emmy event in September. We had a lot of celebrities stop by and grab some Pelo Hair Los Angeles products. A few even tried on our upcoming line of hair crystals. I thought I would post a few photos and videos below, linking each person's suggested product with the same product sold on our website! So, go ahead and browse and contact me with any questions. I would love to provide you with the same hair products loved by celebrities (oh, and at affordable prices).
