Hair Extensions Are Not Just For Long Hair

Misconception; Hair Extensions are just for long hair....

Not true!  As a Hair Extension Expert for nearly 20 years, many of my clients use hair extensions to add volume to their hair style.  Fusion hair extensions made of keratin protein is a wonderful way to bulk up fine hair, especially a short to long bob hairstyle or a mid-length hairstyle.  Fine and thinning hair benefit from micro fusion hair extensions; literally 10 strands can be added to small sections of hair and the illusion of more hair is created.  Don't overlook hair extensions if your hair is not thick enough to pull off a shorter hairstyle

 This client uses hair extensions to add one inch of extra hair and more volume.  Hair Extensions also help to change hair texture to appear  healthier.


Yes she is wearing fusion extensions and still relaxes her hair while wearing them.


What type of hair extensions are the safest?

Hair extensions applied strand by strand to your own hair are the safest application.  20 strands of your hair is separated in clean precise sections and a 30 to 40 strands of hair are applied 1/4" away from your scalp.  This creates a tension free section which allows your own hair to grow perfectly, you can brush right through the hair extensions, color, relax, curl/flat iron and style as would your own hair.


Different types of application:

Keratin Protein Fusion:  The most popular application which utilizes a keratin protein adhesive that fuses with the keratin protein in your own hair.  This adhesive is strong, but not strong enough to damage hair.  Fusion hair extensions last up to 5 months and grow out with your own hair.  The keratin protein adhesive is easily removed from the hair with an alcohol based solution which renders the adhesive to powder and combed out of the hair.  Most find their own hair grows in while wearing extensions and some have such tremendous growth that they no longer wear hair extensions.  Hair extensions are a perfect way to grow out hair from a bad hair cut!

Micro Link Hair Extensions:  These are applied in the same strand by strand fashion.  A metal link is threaded into the hair and a hair extension is placed into the micro link hair extension, the metal link is then clamped shut.  The only downside is that Micro Link hair extensions can slip out of the hair and require more maintenance.  Also, if you need an MRI the extensions will need to be removed.

Seamless Tape Hair Extensions;

Perfect for a temporary application.  Two inch wide strips of hair are applied to the hair with a silicone based tape.  This method is not as popular as strand by strand hair extensions, but are a great way to try hair extensions.  Keep in mind - Seamless tape hair extensions are not recommended for fine hair.

If you are ready to take the plunge for a New You - go for hair extensions.  Hair extensions can add just volume or volume and length!  Remember to research your stylist/salon and get a free consultation to ensure they are for you! Visit Noelle Salon to learn more.

  1. The longer the hair the more you'll cough up. Longer hair of the biggest quality is even more money and may prefer to be special ordered. But if you are going to go for it, then have the length you want and understand that after you having ones own extensions applied, that your stylist must cut it to get it blend in with ones own natural tresses, so you can expect to lose a little regardless.
