Many women have been choosing to wear extensions instead of their natural hair. It’s understandable because of their versatility and relatively low maintenance. However, what most women don’t know is that continually wearing extensions can destroy natural hair. In many cases women become addicted to the ease of changing styles, but at some point they have no choice but to wear extensions ( if they want their hair looking presentable).
Extensions keep your natural hair from breathing and their weight damages the follicle stunting natural growth. Also whether using synthetic or natural extensions the friction between sewn in(or glued) hair and natural causes spots of breakage. The fact that they are designed for extended wear is also detrimental to natural hair because the longer extensions stay in the less hair is washed. Washing hair weekly is very important because it cleanses the hair shaft of accumulated oils, product and debris. The scalp is massaged during shampooing promoting blood flow and growth. Thus when the extensions are taken out hair is under nourished, dull, and damaged.
