There is nothing complicated about having hair extensions. All that’s required is the right products and some slight alterations to your current haircare routine and you’re good to go. Your hair extensions do require a gentler touch but nothing out of the ordinary.

Myth 2: Hair extensions look fake

If you’re going to buy cheap hair extensions, there is a good chance that they will start looking unnatural after a few washes. If you want your extensions to blend in seamlessly with your natural hair, opt for Remy hair extensions, which are made with natural, unprocessed hair. It also helps if you choose hair extensions that match your current hair colour.

Myth 3: Hair extensions will make your natural hair fall out

If your hair extensions are applied correctly, there is absolutely no reason why your extensions should fall out. Everyone naturally loses 50 – 100 strands of hair on a daily basis so you shouldn’t be losing more than that after applying extensions.

Myth 4: Household glue can be used to apply extensions
Absolutely not! EH Hair & Extensions salon in the Gold Coast will only use glue that is designed to be used with hair extensions.

Myth 5: Your natural hair will be damaged after hair extensions
