Have you been lucky enough to have vital, shiny and full hair that also looks soft and smooth and almost takes care of itself? No? Instead, you might be blow-drying and styling your hair and wasting your precious time to hell? 

The right cut for your hair texture 

The trendiest hairstyle of the moment can often demand far too much of your time. This is one of the main reasons why your hair never looks as good as when you just left the hairdresser's chair. At that moment, you feel immortal, your hair is at its best and life is at play. But as soon as the first wash is done, you never get that hairstyle back and it's not much fun.

Maybe it's because you don't know how to style your hair, have the right hair products, or the hairstyle you've chosen doesn't suit your hair structure. Having a hairstyle that is not completely perfect is something many people recognise. In fact, you can unknowingly walk around with the wrong hairstyle for your entire life, just like 78 % women walk around with the wrong bra size. 

It's an easy-to-maintain hairstyle you want to get

With an easy-to-maintain hairstyle, you'll realise how much easier your life is. If you want to achieve a manageable hairstyle, you should avoid the cheapest hairdressers. You need to find a hairdresser who can master the more advanced cutting techniques where the hair is balanced through a special sequence of cutting angles and thus becomes almost weightless and aerodynamic.

In short, you want a hairstyle adapted to the conditions of your hair. You'll get more than "just" a good hairstyle. On the positive side, you'll be able to cut down on unnecessary styling products and heat tools and focus on having a nice natural hair. Your hair will thank you, natural is always the best for our hair which is at its best! 

Benefits you will experience:

• Hair volume and shape can be positively affected
• No more licked hair
• The perfect hairstyle - without much styling
• Soft, silky and shiny hair
• Well-being increases

Did you know that long-term use of curly hair can lead to permanent hair loss? Many women regularly wear curly hair without giving their hair and scalp a rest. The benefits of curly hair are a long hair full of volume. Many use them because their genetic make-up cannot give them the hair they want.

Once you've decided to try it, it's easy to get stuck with it and use it regularly for several years. Intermittent use is fine if your hair is otherwise strong and healthy, as long as it is fixed by a hairdresser and you follow the care instructions. You should also not exceed the recommended time for your curly hair.

Having hair extensions is very costly and many people choose to exceed the recommended time for permanently inserted hair extensions, which in the worst case also leads to you creating extra stress on your own hair. Normally, we lose about 50-100 hairs a day, the curly hair contributes to your own hair being incorrectly loaded and this means that you lose more hair than normal.

Hair extensions can be a very appealing solution for people who want to dramatically change their hairstyle, but it comes at a price. The longer and more hair, the more stress you can create on your hair roots. Therefore, make sure you have the best basic conditions before you consider getting a hair extension.

Improperly inserted hair extensions can damage your hair forever

Long-term use of hair extensions can damage your hair to such an extent that it can no longer be repaired. This can easily become a vicious cycle, and you may even end up adding more hair extensions to cover the damage, when you should really stop using hair extensions, cut them short and start taking care of your hair.

Hair extensions have received much media attention as more and more celebrities are encountering problematic side effects associated with long-term use. Usually, hair extensions do not cause temporary wear and tear and the hair recovers quickly. However, sometimes a damaged hair may need to be helped with some PRP treatmentsSuch a treatment helps to boost weak hair follicles and possibly activates even those follicles that are dormant.

Hair extensions attached to your own hair are always a bit more stressful. A popular method called Nail Hair extensions involves loops of hair attached with glue around the wearer's own hair, this method can add extra weight to the hair and can lead to hair loss. We have also seen that long term use of the Weave method where loose hair is braided against the wearer's scalp has resulted in damaged hair. It is a weave that creates tension on the scalp, especially when newly inserted, and can lead to hair loss, read more on Traction Alopecia. Hair pulled out in this way can cause permanent damage to hair follicles and prevent further hair growth.

If you experience hair loss and damage caused by hair extensions, the first step is to remove the hair extensions as soon as possible. Many women like to cover up the damage with additional extensions, this is not a winning option to fix the problem as it usually gets worse and should be avoided to prevent permanent hair loss.

If the damage is less extensive, you may need to change your hairstyle, which can be quite a dramatic change to remove damaged hair. Eventually, your hair will recover without the need for a hair transplant or medication.

When a haircut is not enough

Sometimes, hair loss and damage caused by hair extensions cannot be corrected by simply discontinuing their hair extensions. For women who have bald patches of thinning hair, a visit to a hair clinic is recommended. We at Akacia Medical have seen many women experiencing hair loss and these are directly linked to the overuse of hair extensions, we have successful treatments for hair loss.

We found an interesting documentary that talks about hair loss. Many men don't talk about what it feels like to start losing hair and unfortunately not everyone is comfortable with it, even though it is often part of our ageing process and is genetic.
