A recent report from the Professional Beauty Association revealed that over the past two years, there has been a 28.5% increase in the number of U.S. hair salons that offer hair extensions. But why are they so popular? Below we will explore three reasons American women are embracing hair extensions.
Three Reasons to Wear Hair Extensions
-
- They add length
Does it seem like you’ve been trying to grow your hair out for centuries? No matter how patient and gentle you are with your stubby strands, they never grow past a certain length. It’s totally frustrating. Hair extensions can give you that extra length you’ve been craving without the hassle. No longer will you have to suffer through that awkward in-between stage when your hair is too long to be a cute short style but too short to be luscious and flowing.
- They add length

- They add volume
This is one of the most rewarding benefits of wearing hair extensions. If you suffer from thinning hair or hair loss, you might be a little self-conscious about your hair. For many women, their hair is a source of pride and femininity. When you watch your lovely locks swirl down the shower drain, a little bit of your confidence slips down there as well. Extensions can help you get back the volume you once had (and the confidence, too). Or, if your natural hair texture has always been fine and flat, some added extensions can just give you that extra “oomph” you’re looking for.

- You can change up your look
If you’re tired of your same old hairstyle, extensions can offer you a wider variety of options. With the added length, volume, and maybe even a fresh pop of color, you can easily throw together all kinds of beautiful looks. Try making your braid, bun, or ponytail more intricate without additional tools or accessories. Up-dos, beach waves, fishtail braids – they’re all more fun and dramatic with hair extensions.
As long as they’re put in properly by an experienced hair stylist, and well-maintained while you wear them, hair extensions won’t cause any damage to your natural hair. Stop by Strictly Styles Salon in San Jose today or call to make an appointment.
