Have you always wanted to try hair extensions but have been too scared to commit? With the media pointing out celebrities with bad hair extensions, the thought of hair extensions may have made you want to run far away from any hair salon offering this service. However, the technology of hair extensions has advanced greatly within the last few years, that you no longer need to fear “stringy” hair or visible bonds.
We’ve broken down the top benefits of wearing hair extensions just in case you needed any more reason to schedule your first hair extension consultation.
Add length, volume and instant gratification.
You no longer have to wait patiently for your hair to grow. Hair extensions give you the ability to add instant length, usually from about 12 to 22 inches, depending on the brand or method.
Women with thin, fine hair can also benefit from hair extensions. By using hair extensions to add volume, your hair will appear thick from root to tip!
Confidence booster!
A major benefit of hair extensions is they can make you feel more feminine and attractive. You’ll be excited to wake up in the morning and take the time to style your hair.
Let’s not forget to mention that adding length and volume to your hair can also make you look younger. You would be surprised how many years just a few extra inches of hair could take off your appearance.
Experiment with different hairstyles.
From ponytails to top knots, the possibilities are endless. Hair extensions are also the perfect way to add chemical-free color or highlights without causing damage to your natural hair.
Easy maintenance
Soon after application, hair extensions will start to feel like your natural hair and daily maintenance will be a breeze. With the exception of not using oils or silicone-based products at the root, your daily routine can, for the most part, remain the same.
Tired of long hair?
Don’t worry, semi-permanent hair extensions can easily be taken out by a licensed cosmetologist.

I appreciate how you mentioned that hair extensions can add up to 22 inches of length to your hair instantly. My friend is self-conscious because all of her friends have long, beautiful locks that they like to braid, and her short hair doesn’t allow for her to join in. It’s great to hear that hair extensions might be just what she needs to feel like she fits in among her friends. Thanks!

I liked what you said abotu being able to experiment with different hair styles. My hair is too short to do much with and I tend to find myself wanting to wear a ponytail or a bun some days. It’s definitely something that I’ll look into because it would be fun to play with my hair more.
