Hair loss can be caused by many various factors, and improper hair care or too harsh hair styling are among them. In particular, recent reviews have shown that such procedure as hair extensions, which is in great demand nowadays, can lead to substantial hair weakening and hair loss. Numerous celebrities including Britney Spears, Victoria Beckham, Nicole Richie, Cheryl Cole and many more, who constantly appear on public with hair extensions, provide the best promotion and the best publicity for such hair styling procedures. Numerous fans of modern stars and celebrities are trying to look like their idols, that’s why they choose the same hairstyles and sometimes use hair extensions and hair pieces too often.

The experts noticed that recently more and more women are looking for help and effective solutions for hair damage and balding spots which started appearing as a result of using hair extensions. The same can be said about the celebrities, too. Many stars like Naomi Campbell, Liz Hurley or Katie Price are suffering from hair loss and very poor hair quality caused by hair extensions. So does Jennifer Aniston, one of the most successful and popular brilliant actresses of our times. She says: “I decided to have extensions, never knowing you end up with 400 things in your head that cause your hair to break off.”

According to hair care expert Steve O’Brien, of the Institute Of Trichologists, there is huge damage which is being currently visited upon modern women who choose to have hair extensions, and the specialist is advocating for immediate ban for this trendy hair styling procedure. The expert says that the number of women who come to their clinic every year is firmly increasing. The main problem, according to Dr. O’Brien, is extra tension which hair follicles have to stand on, caused by the heaviness of hair extensions.

That is why, he says, the follicles go weaker and hair loss may take place. Moreover, according to other specialists, there are dangerous chemicals, special hair glues and waxes used for hair extensions which also damage the hair to a great extent. Other methods like the one involving special micro-rings applied to hair in order to fix extensions, or the one involving fixing hair with the help of heating, do not seem to be much safer. All these rings, chemicals and high temperatures make hair more brittle, weak, very much likely to break and fall out. If you want to have gloving and healthy hair, always beware of dangerous hair styling.
