While the strand by strand, soft bonding extensions are not just long-lasting but also some of the safest and most comfortable ones. It is also imperative to follow the proper hair care routine to avoid any tangling or breakage and make sure to use specific hair extension maintenance products.

Myth #5: Questionable Source of the Hair in Natural Hair Extensions

People around the world have been selling or donating their hair for an incredibly long period. High quality human hair extensions from reputed salons come from regular, living people. It is common to notice people come into salons all the time asking to sell their hair for a good price. What also gives premium extensions a high quality and durability is the fact that they don’t get swept off the floor of a salon and instead come right from a person’s long, thick ponytail.
