The wig industry is becoming more and more prosperous and it seems that more and more bald people are deciding to buy wigs to disguise their baldness. Don't just think that wigs are only for bald people though, there is also that segment of the population, basically women, who will buy a wig to make their hair look longer and prettier. This is what we will be talking about today - hair extensions.

For various reasons, many women are not able to have very long hair, so they decide to make their hair longer by some means and they can then do more styling. What is the difference between hair extensions and the wigs men usually wear and if you want to find out, follow Hairtis and read on.

Why choose hair extensions

The main reason for hair extensions is to add length to your hair. It can also cover up bad haircuts. If you want to add some colour and dimension to your hair, you can use different shades of hair colour in your extensions without having to colour your natural hair.

Hair extensions can also add volume to your hair. For example, thinner hair will appear thicker with hair extensions. Using hair extensions is also a way to change your hairstyle without having to actually cut and alter your natural hair. Using too many chemically heavy products and hair tools that involve heat can damage your natural hair. Hair extensions create a layer between the natural hair and the product.

Difference with hairpiece

Some people will think that hair extensions and hairpieces are the same thing because they look similar. This is actually wrong. The purpose of hair extensions is to make your hair longer and you can do more hairstyles. You can find out that many actresses or actresses do this more often because of the need for filming. Also, hair extensions do not emphasize blending in with your original hair, and a blonde can certainly choose other colour extensions to make themselves look more stylish.

The hair piece is different. The former is usually used more by women and the use of hair pieces is not limited to gender. Often, a person uses hair pieces to make their hair look fuller and fuller. If you were born with very little hair and your hair looks very thin, you can try it to improve this embarrassing situation. Sometimes you are struggling with hair loss, for example if you have a balding hairline, you can also use hair pieces to hide it.

Types of hair extensions

Just as there are several types of toupees, there are also several types of hair extensions.

Price of hair extensions

On average, hair extensions cost between $100 and $1000. If you go to a salon you will pay between $200 and $1000 (or more). Of course, we don't recommend anything too low or too high. Also, the price depends on the type of hair extensions.
