Well i've been browsing this site for a while now grinning at some of the misconceptions I have read regarding the above topic, so I thought I'd put fingers to keyboard and give you my professional opinion.
I have been a Hair Extension operator for approx. 18 years (since early 1982) as well as a Regular normal(hehe) hairdresser. I think I have tried all methods of application that there possibly are( and thats not many) and have come to the conclusion and that is.
Just like when you are having a colour,wave,set,cut or any hair service, the most important thing is an efficent & effective consultation, followed by a excellent hairstylist. not whether they use heats seals or thread or glue or Monofibre or dead hair or asian hair or synthetics etc, etc, etc. ad nauseum.
Hairdressers seem to have a built in ability to atack anything they dont have (No, that Shampoo you bought last time from the other hairdresser is rubbish, you should buy this one),(OMG who cut your hair Last time, what a mess),(Oh, was it that hbrand of haircolour they used ours is far more supierior to that) and clients believing that they are literally in the hands of a TRAINED PROFESSIONAL hairstylist tend to believe them.
When anyone makes a comment (including me) we base that upon our own paradigms(set of rules) to justify them.
Dome Hair extensions If properly applied, do not damage the natural hair.they look as natural as anything else does that is not grown from your own body, they do not damage the natural hair if removed correctly, and any style can be achieved if you have an experienced stylist(and enough hair to attach them to.
The above paragraph also applies to second hand human hair.
ALWAYS book a consultation before you have anything done(and be prepared to pay for it as it can save you money in the long run) and If you have any concerns about what is being told to you by the stylist have another consultation at another salon or ring up the company who supplies them to ask further questions.
And on a final note, if people such as Elle Macpherson,Cher,Pamela Anderson and Naiomi Campbell have chosen to use monofibre over another product, doesn't that justify its quality?
well I hope this helps solve a few qustions and remember, If in doubt Just run Out.
