The Truth About Hair Extension Myths | The Cooperative Salon
Have you always wanted to get hair extensions to fulfill your dreams of voluminous locks or long tresses but misconceptions have made you hesitant? In this blog post, we’re discussing hair extension myths and the truth about them!
Hair Extension Myths
Myth: They will pull out or damage your real hair
Chances are you’ve heard this myth about glued-in hair extensions. If you’re investing in hand-tied hair extensions, like the ones we offer at Cooperative Salon, there is no need to have this concern. We apply them professionally so they are completely safe for your natural hair and scalp while they are in, and will not damage your hair when it comes time to remove them.
Myth: Hair Extensions are difficult or costly to maintain
After having your hair extensions installed by a professional, they are easy to maintain at home in between tune up appointments. Read our How To Maintain Hair Extensions newsletter coming next which covers daily brushing, washing and hydrating, styling products, what to avoid and advice for swimming. If you have invested in quality hair extensions, they will last for the long-term with regular tune ups as your hair grows.
Myth: They’re always obvious or visible
Has seeing someone with poorly installed and cheap hair extensions or hearing hair extension myths scared you away from taking the plunge? High quality hair extensions installed at a salon like Cooperative Hair will be color matched, and expertly applied and blended for you. You will be able to wear your hair in any hairstyle you desire without worrying if anyone can see any sign of hair extensions.
Myth: They cause headaches or are uncomfortable
Hair extension installation techniques have drastically improved over time. At Cooperative Salon, our technique means hair extensions are placed at a point on your hair where there is limited tension so you don’t feel discomfort while they are being installed or headaches while you’re wearing them. If you don’t want to add noticeable weight to your hair, you can opt for lighter and fewer hair extensions that suit your preference. Feel free to chat to our team about what would work for you.
Myth: Quality hair extensions are too expensive
Has the cost of installing and maintaining hair extensions prevented you from having your dream hair? While options like hand-tied hair extensions are more expensive than clip ins and synthetic alternatives, the quality makes them extremely durable and long-lasting. This means your initial investment will actually save you in the long-term provided they are well looked after.
Myth: They’re only for vanity purposes
Hair extensions aren’t only to lengthen or add volume to your hair, they are also a great option for those who are conscious of having fine hair, short hair that is difficult to grow healthily, to cover hair loss, a haircut gone wrong or for a boost to your confidence. You deserve to look and feel amazing!
Myth: Hair Extensions prevent natural hair growth
Hair extensions won’t affect your natural hair growth or the health of your hair. As your natural hair grows, maintain the appearance of your hair with tune ups for your hair extensions. We do tune ups for our clients every 4 weeks. This ensures the health of your hair and scalp, removes natural shedding, maintains your hair extensions and restores them to their correct placement without having to completely reinstall. This will save you time and money, and allow you to enjoy your hair extensions for up to 6 months with proper care!
