At Flirt, we believe that beautiful hair is all about investing in premium quality hair extensions, expert salon services, and proper hair care products to protect and strengthen both your natural hair and your hair extensions.

With most beauty investments, there are myths about why it doesn’t work or why it is harmful to your natural beauty. And this includes hair extensions.

To nip hair extension myths in the bud, we take an in-depth look at busting the myths surrounding hair extensions.

Busting Myth Number 1: “Hair Extensions Damage Your Natural Hair”

Some people believe hair extensions cause damage to your natural hair. This is only true in one instance: bad quality hair extensions, damaging adhesives, and a terrible installation will look bad and cause damage to your natural hair.

Whereas quality hair extensions with professional installation will not cause any damage to your natural hair whatsoever. With the latest extension technology, quality hair extensions are specifically designed and manufactured with the latest extension technology to cause the least amount of damage to your hair.

Tape-in extensions and wefts are two of the least damaging methods that don’t break your natural hair or cause damage to your hair.

Busting Myth Number 2: “Hair Extensions Are Difficult to Maintain”

For some, hair extensions seem like a hassle to invest time into caring and styling their hair extensions.

Yes, you have to maintain your hair extensions every single day. But, looking after your natural hair should also be a daily routine. In short, the aftercare of hair extensions includes washing and conditioning it every 1 to 3 days with non-toxic hair care products, brushing it 2 to 3 times a day, and drying your hair before going to bed.

Our team believes that a hair extension routine could positively impact your daily hair care routine. Your natural hair requires daily TLC with or without extensions.

By focusing on looking after your hair extensions properly, you also look after your natural hair by using non-toxic hair products, regularly brushing it, and using nourishing conditioning products.

In the end, this routine strengthens and protects your natural hair, too, providing it with nourishment, hydration, and protection.

Busting Myth Number 3: “Hair Extensions Limit My Lifestyle”

Premium quality hair extensions don’t limit your life in any way. You can still exercise, train, and enjoy physical hobbies without having to stress too much about your extensions. You can also swim in pools, oceans, and rivers and enjoy a relaxing time in a sauna and steam room.

When doing these activities, the only thing you have to consider is one or two extra hair care steps. While you train, tie your hair extensions into a bun or braid, use a leave-in conditioner or mask in your hair while you swim, never tie up wet hair, and wash your hair after these activities.

Besides that, you can enjoy your life as it was before installing hair extensions. The only difference is that you get to do all of this while having gorgeous long, thick hair.

Busting Myth Number 4: “Hair Extensions Cause Hair Loss”

After your hair extensions are removed, it seems as if all your hair has just suddenly fallen off of your head. This may seem frightening at first, but we assure you that this is 100% normal.

Every person loses about 100 to 200 hairs per day. Every single day. When you have extensions, most of these hairs get caught in between the bonds of your extensions. So, after 4 to 8 weeks, when you go in for your maintenance and your extensions are removed, all of that hair suddenly comes out with it.

Our newest installation method for wefts only uses about 10% of your own hair which means that you can install as many hair extensions as you want by using very little of your own hair. This method is perfect for clients struggling with alopecia, CoVid hair loss, and hair loss in general. Fortunately, your own hair grows with installed hair extensions.

Hair extensions also weigh a small amount, 40 tapes are about 100g, so when your extensions are taken out, your hair feels a lot lighter afterward, which may feel like you’ve lost hair. But you have just grown accustomed to the extra weight on your head.

Busting Myth Number 5: “Hair Extensions Are Too Expensive For What They Are”

When scouting different brands and prices for hair extensions, some are not willing to invest in premium quality hair extensions or expert installation. So, they will opt for a cheaper extension option and installation.

However, they have also opted for tangled and frizzed hair extensions with a shorter lifespan and salon services that may use incorrect installation methods and damaging adhesives.

When it comes to your hair, investing in quality products and professional services is the only option to ensure that you receive premium products and expert services.

There is truth in the saying: “you get what you pay for”.

So, if you would like to have hair with length, volume, and shine, investing in the right brand and services is essential.
