What is the safest methodin applying hair extensions?

hi i'm a hairdresser/hairstylist...same thing..

neway...i'm also trained in hair extensions and i wear hair extensions.

theres 3 methods:

clip in - these are strips of hair tht can be clipped into place minimal damage.

glue/bonded...glue wefts of hair on to ur scalp..if u value ur hair u dont wannab doing tht method. bonded...hair extensions strands with keratin bonds on the end are bonded to strands of ur hair via heating the keratin bond up. if done properly can look good but both glue and bonded r more likey to cause damage (extensions being too heavy and causing bald spots ala victoria beckham) and also the chemicals used to remove them can damage ur scalp if applied wrong. tend to cost an arm and a leg - usual cost is around 鎷?00-500...(i'm trained in this method and @ cost price its still 鎷?00) and also u usually need to change ur whole hair routine, as certain chemicals in products weaken the glue or bonds.

weave/sewn - own hair is braided into "tracks" and wefts of hair sewn in. simple lol. no nasty crap on ya hair and it gives hair a break from daily elements (brushing, straighteners, pollution etc) so it can grow and b fairly healthy. less likely to cause damage...only time it does is when braids r pulled 2 tightly and 9 times outta 10 u kno when its pulled too tightly so u can let the person doing it kno @ the time meaning it wont do ne damage. or if there is unevn tension i.e. one spot is particularly tight then the rest of the hair. can look alot more natural then bonded extensions...and u dont need to change ur hair routine too much, well shampoo wise neway. costs less 鎷?20.

with ANY type of extensions, u need to keep adding moisture...i.e. using conditioning treatments, using leave in conditioners etc.

me personally i wear weave in extensions - after doing alot of research and comparing the 2 methods etc this to b the more cost efficient and less likely to damage my hair (i had colour correction done so my hair couldnt handle ne more chemicals on it). if u wanna see pics let me kno.

email me if u got ne more q's!!

APPLYING HAIR EXTENSIONS IS SOMETHING THAT NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN PERFECT AND IF IT'S DONE WRONG IT CAN BE VERY DAMAGING TO YOUR HAIR. IF YOU ARE SEWING SOME IN OR GETTING SOME ONE ELSE TO SEW IT IN MAKE SURE THEY DON'T DO IT TOO TIGHT BECAUSE THE THREAD WILL CUT YOUR HAIR LIKE SCISSORS. IF YOUR TRYING GLUE I RECOMMEND USING SANEX (WHITE PAPER) UNDER A CAP AND BEING SPARING WITH THE GLUE.

I used the usual method with silicon and i am very pleased. I put extensions about 3 times last year, leave them on for about 3 months each time then take them for about 20 days and put extensions again. My hair have no problem at all and they also grew well. Lately i' ve heard that now they also use laser to attach extensions to your hair and maybe this is better but i haven't tried that myself
