My hair dresser highly recommends I get Keratin hair extensions for my wedding so he has more hair to work with for my up do. I've never had them before and was hoping someone could give me an idea of what to expect.
Currently, my hair length is to my chest and normal to semi thick and the idea is not to make my hair longer with extensions, just thicker. My concern is, when they take them out will they damage my real hair?
Can someone whose had Keratin hair extensions give me an idea if it's worth getting them and how badly they can damage your hair? I've always had long hair and do not like the idea of having to chop all of my hair off because extensions ruined them!
Any input is greatly appreciated
Re: Keratin Hair extensions - hair damage?
I don't know. I wouldn't want to glue hair in just for my wedding day, personally. You hear the horror stories with keratin extensions - my guess is that may have more to do with the stylist than the actual treatment though.
Right??? If you're going with an updo, the clip-in extensions are PERFECT. Totally easy to hide, and he would only have to add as much hair as he needs, right at the spot of the updo. Also way, way, way cheaper.
If you were dreaming of having your hair down and want long, flowing, beach hair on your wedding day and honeymoon immediately following, I can see how Keratin extensions might be more attractive than clip-ins (but still not totally necessary if you have any hesitancy and are concerned about the risk and damage).
But for an updo? For one day? No no no no. Run!
I think that's a great idea! Just be prepared if he/she starts pushing their extensions again, because more than likely, they will come up with an excuse as to why the clip ins won't work to sell their product. And I think if you are up front about your concern with damage done to your hair, then hopefully they will see where you are coming from. Good luck!
