Synthetic hair extensions are applied in the same way as human hair extensions. You can apply them through weaving, braiding or strand by strand. Like human hair extensions, synthetic hair extensions are available in a wide range of textures and colours.

The main types of synthetic hair extensions that are available are Kanekalon, Toyokalon, Monobraid and Profibre. Your synthetic hair extensions can be washed just like your own hair. You can also blow dry your synthetic hair extensions, however when it comes to straightening or curling them you have to be careful as it can melt the synthetic hair. It is advised to dip the hair in hot water before using straighteners or curling tongs, although I recommend that you speak to your stylist as this may cause the hair to set.

Synthetic hair extensions will outshine your natural hair and will appear more healthy and manageable than your natural hair. Synthetic hair extensions will also appear shinier than human hair extensions.

If you are thinking about having hair extensions you should think about what you want your hair extensions for. If you want your hair ...
... extensions for a permanent basis then human hair extensions may be more suitable for you. However if you are thinking about getting hair extensions for a special occasion such as a party, wedding or as a fashion accessory then synthetic hair extensions are your answer. Although you can wear synthetic hair extensions for several months, they will be harder to style on a full time basis than human hair due to the straightening and curling restrictions.

Synthetic hair extensions, like human hair extensions should be attached and removed by a professional. Synthetic hair extensions are cheaper to have applied than human hair extensions but you should never chose cost over quality so make sure that when you are choosing your synthetic hair extensions that you chose the right ones for you and not the ones that are the cheapest.

Synthetic hair extensions normally take up to five hours to apply, this may sound like a long time but think of it this way, human hair extensions take up to nine hours to apply.

After you have had your synthetic hair extensions applied you need to make sure that you have regular appointments of around every six weeks so that your synthetic hair extensions can be maintained and tidied up on a regular basis.

Synthetic hair extensions are a man made alternate to human hair extensions. When used correctly synthetic hair extensions can look amazing, this is why it is important to have them applied by a professional.

Synthetic hair extensions are great if you want to add some colour to your hair. You can get synthetic hair extensions in a range of colours such as standard colours to match your natural hair colour or if you want a more striking look you can get synthetic hair extensions in bold colours such as red, blue, pink, green, purple or pretty much any other colour that you can think of.
Synthetic hair extensions could be the perfect solution for you if you are hoping for a new look, whether you want to add colour, length or volume, they could be just what you are looking for.
