Hair extension
You want long hair, but do not have the patience to grow your own hair?
On average, our own hair grows about 1 cm per month. One hair grows a little faster, the other a bit slower. There are many reasons for hair extensions. Maybe you had to cut off your hair, because it was badly damaged and only the scissors against the split ends arrived.
Even experimental women like to take a hair extension and wear their hair sometimes shorter or longer.
The technique and quality of hair extensions have evolved greatly in recent years, so hair extensions need not be visible anymore. As a top priority, we recommend you visit an experienced professional hairdresser who specializes in hair extensions. After all, how long and how much pleasure you have with your hair extensions depends largely on good craftsmanship. But also the quality of the extensions and the initial situation of your own hair are decisive points for a successful hair extension.
Your hairdresser will advise you on choosing the right amount, the color and also the length. The length can be varied and, at best, adjusted to create a harmonious overall picture with your own hair.
The hair extension is attached strand by strand to your own hair. For the attachment of the joints, also called bonding, there are different techniques and devices. The joints should not be too close to the hairline, so you do not feel unpleasant pain. In the first few days after hair extension, you may still feel the joints especially when sleeping. After a few days, however, nothing is noticeable and the extensions feel like your own hair.
After 6-8 weeks you should renew the hair extension, your hairdresser will advise you in detail regarding the renewal. For our Hamburg customers, we can recommend our HAAR-SCHARF salon in Poppenbüttel, which has more than 15 years of experience with hair extensions.
There are also some things to keep in mind when looking after hair extensions. You can find more about that in our hair care and beauty glossary.
