I’m sure everyone would agree with me that having long hair takes a lot of time and effort to maintain. I have very little patience when it comes to styling my hair, so you will see me sporting one of two styles any given day: Pony tail, or half-up with a magic clip. Having long hair is hard enough, unless you are one of those gals who have already discovered hair extensions. It is the instant way to long hair. It is almost impossible to tell when one is wearing hair extensions unless you happen to be a celebrity who went from having a pixie cut to looking like Rapunzel the very next day *ahem* Paris Hilton.

It’s not just celebrities wearing add-on tresses anymore, hair extensions are popping up everywhere.

What are Hair Extensions?

Its horse hair, okay that’s not quite true. There are various materials used to create hair extensions. It can be created from 100% synthetic hair, 100% real human hair, or a mixture of human and animal hair. They come in just about any color, length and texture. You are to wash and treat the fake hair as you would your natural hair. However, as your hair grows your extensions will be affected which means a visit back to the professional will be necessary. Too lazy? You can remove your hair extensions at home by twisting the tiny braided attachments and then gently snapping the seal.

If hassle-free is more of your cup of tea then clip-on hair extensions are ideal. They will add instant volume with little or no fuss. I know a little birdy who uses them and she looks fantastic. Adding a little personality has never been easier!
