Gentle Hair Extensions? You're Proving It!

safe, non-damaging hair extensionsWhen you are thinking hair extensions do you think damage or hair loss? When I first began my hunt for a safe, non-damaging hair extension method, I was overwhelmed by all the bad reports. It did keep me from using glues or fusion in my hair, but even clips and braids were getting negative comments from girls complaining of more permanent hair problems. Truly I do know that improper wear can be involved, but I really wanted the safest and most gentle I could find and it had to suit my wear, strands and for months of more permanent wear.

I have now been wearing the TemBond® for hair extensions for over 3 years continuously removing the extensions every 3-6 months to reapply. Never have I seen any loss of hair, breakage or pulling from the root. All the hair I remove from my wear is naturally shed hairs proven by the small, hard bead at the end of the hair.

Hair growth while wearing hair extensions?

To my unexpected surprise,  my customers were reporting to me that their hair became thicker and longer while wearing the hair extensions.

And these are different and/or better results from what they achieve while trying to grow their hair without wearing hair extensions. Trying to come up with an answer proved difficult so we concluded that, while wearing hair extensions, you are abusing your own natural  hair less, washing less, less heat from the hair dryer and other tools, along with not wearing a damaging hair extension system and this result is longer, fuller and healthier hair.

Here are my (Tiffany Twist) 2009 BEFORE install pictures. The first is June before and the second is October before. So 5 months of wearing my extensions. My hair is getting long and full! It is very exciting to watch!

Hair Extensions Helped Her Get Thicker Hair.

“K” came to me after a desperate hunt for hair extensions that were “different.” She had previously worn fusion hair extensions that tore up her hair and took 2 years to recover from the damage. She made me continually promise the TemBond® wouldn’t harm her hair like what she had previously experienced. There wasn’t any reason she couldn’t wear the TemBond®, as she was wearing clips just fine, so we agreed to a “practice” install that would be monitored carefully while she demo-ed the method and wear of the TemBond® bonds and the strand-by-strand MANEMAXX™ hair extensions.

We can see the great growth and additional fullness the hair has after the weeks and months of wearing the hair extensions.(Her hair looks so much healthier now then when she first came for the hair extensions and she is thrilled, and finally convinced, at the no damage hair extension wear!)
