Myth 1: Hair Extensions are extremely heavier and may weigh you down

This is the most common myth. In fact, some people are also of opinion that wearing hair extension will result in experiencing severe headache problem. Well, hair extension is an external element that you are going to clip into your natural hair. Naturally, there will be a slight feel of something extra into the head. But that’s only for the time being. With regular wearing, such a feel would vaporize. But then, it will never weigh you down and nor will it be the cause of your headache problems. If you have some kind of super sensitive scalp, then there is a chance of experiencing headache. Also, you can experience a headache if you tie a ponytail too tightly. Those with super sensitive scalps must try to clip the human hair extension slightly on the lower part of the hair than on the scalp. This will prevent from causing a headache.

This is another myth. Many think that wearing extension will leave your actual hair broken, thin, and damaged. But the reality is, clip-in extensions have no ill impact on your actual hair. You can easily take them out before going to bed at night. It’s easy to wear and there is not pressure involved. Although there are different types of hair extensions available like keratin fusion, tape-ins, and micro-linking, the clip in hair extensions is considered to be the safest for your hair. Well, the permanent extensions available in the market can cause some damage to your natural hair. But the clip-ins or other temporary extensions never pose any threat to your natural hair. Also, it is better to consult a beautician before using a hair extension or even before purchasing one.
