Hair extensions do not actually affect the growth of our hair. They are vastly different from our daily activities such as dyeing and perming, as hair extensions involve attaching hair to our own to achieve the goal of transforming short hair into long hair. Most extensions are made from real hair, but some people opt for synthetic hair to achieve decorative effects. Due to the difference in materials, the visual outcomes are not the same, as one is real hair and the other is synthetic fiber.
However, regardless of whether real or synthetic hair is used, some hair loss can occur after a period of time, especially with those attached using metal clips which tend to fall out after two to three months. Adhesive bonding lasts longer, but it is more difficult to remove afterward. In summary, hair extensions themselves do not harm our hair, but the process of removing and attaching them can cause damage. Compared to perming and dyeing, the damage caused by hair extensions is negligible. After hair extensions are done, it is important to take care of them in daily life. One must comb their hair gently to effectively reduce the loss of extensions. Additionally, it is crucial to note that those with very short hair should avoid hair extensions, as the attachment points may cause friction with the scalp and lead to allergic reactions.
