As far as the positives and the negatives for the keratin hair extensions, it will seem the negatives are quite a bit longer. Let us review that list now.
The Negatives Of This Style Of Extensions
This is the part that gets to have some tricks to it. While it seems like you would be able to do anything you want with this hair, since it is real human hair, it is very sensitive when it comes to the roots. This is where the glue is that is going to keep it stuck to your hair. This means you cannot really use a hot flat iron or even brush too hard when you are using these extensions.Â
These can also be seen as requiring quite a bit of maintenance. When you have had these installed the first time, you can expect to see the stylist every couple of weeks to make sure they are growing in properly.
These are a bond that you cannot reuse. Once they are in, they will stay in your hair for about five months, then you will have to take them out. The stylist will not be able to use these again. That means you will constantly have this expense every few months. This brings up to the next negatives.
These can be rather expensive at times. When you get a full head of hair from this it can easily reach into the thousands of dollars. Yes, you did not misread that, thousands of dollars. What is really bad, is the stylists are going to tell you that you should not go cheap when you get these because it could look bad. Remember this is real human hair and it is being glued to your head to give you a fashion, so you do not want to go cheap. The damage, if not done properly or done cheaply can be very bad.Â
Not only that you should set aside quite a bit of time to get this done because it takes a long time. The key factor for avoiding damage and a lot of time is how good the stylist is. No matter how good, though, the stylist will take at least three hours.
Not to mention a lot of people have reported it feels odd when they put their fingers in their hair. Not to mention the glue at the base makes it feel like you have something in your hair all the time. You may think you will be comfortable running your fingers through the hair, but remember it will feel like you have things in the hair!. Yikes!
