About 80% of women desire to have longer hair and fuller hair. We spend a significant amount of time researching ways to grow our hair, as well as a significant amount of money on products and services to aid our healthy hair journey. Rather than freaking out about the rate that your hair is growing or giving up on your hair journey because of your hair’s manageability, why not wear extensions.. After all its instant gratification. You get to choose the length and density you want your hair to be. Speaking of manageability this brigs me to my next point.
Protective Styling
Most of us naturals find our hair regimen to be a lot of work and it can be very time consuming. Wearing hair extensions allows you time away from caring for your natural hair while still looking beautiful. When trying to grow your hair, in most cases leaving your hair alone is the best thing you can do for your hair. The less you manipulate your hair the more your hair can grow. Extensions are a way for you to wear heat styles without heat damaging your natural hair. A lot of us like to wear Color in our hair. However we know that color can be damaging to the hair (like any other chemicals). It's the best way to give yourself a new look without risking your natural hair’s health. Which brings me to my next point.
Change Up Your Look
A lot of us do damaging things to our hair because we are in search of a new look that makes us feel different and look beautiful. When wearing hair extensions not only does it allow you to switch up your color and change your length, there are a large variety of hair textures to choose from. Rather than using heat tools to manipulate the appearance of your hair texture you can choose a texture that best suits your lifestyle. Do You love wearing wash and gos? Well now that curly, wet wavy, textured look is available in a large variety of textures. Do you Like straight sleek hair? You’ll love Straight extensions. One thing that I have found to be true in most cases is that the extensions retain styles longer and in some cases better than our natural hair because our hair’s natural oils and sweat doesn’t affect the longevity of the style in which you’ve chosen to wear your extensions. Are you looking to have extensions that blends perfectly with your natural hair texture? There are many different afro kinky textured extensions that blends in with African American hair of all types. The possibilities are endless, really!
Low Maintenance
My favorite part of hair extensions is that they are low maintenance if you buy quality extensions. No one wants to have to wake up early or be late because they are having a hair crisis. Wearing extensions in almost all cases allows you to get up and go with minimum styling. Beauty requires effort overall but make it convenient. Wearing quality extensions, like any other protective style allows for little to no manipulation of your hair.
