There’s a lot of mixed information on the web and in salons on whether fusion extensions is damaging to one’s natural hair or not. Any type of augmentation to your hair can cause damage to your natural hair if proper care isn’t taken during installation, if left in too long, or if not properly caring for the extensions to maintain them properly. Though fusion extensions may not be known for helping natural hair growth, they also won’t discourage it as long as they are properly applied and suggested maintenance is regarded.

A weave can be a great protective style that allows for unmanipulated rest and growth of your natural hair. If applied and cared for with the correct amount of tension and maintenance for both the natural and extension hair, hair weaves becomes easily one of the healthiest extension choices available.
Hair weaves are a popular form of extensions because of the ability to completely tuck away your natural hair while still showcasing long and beautiful hair. The method consists of braiding some or all of the natural hair as a base, then wefted extension hair is sewn on top for length or volume while keeping your natural hair completely protected! These sew-in extensions come in multiple variations including a partial where some natural hair is left out unbraided and a natural part weave where the weave is sewn to allow your natural part on your scalp to show.
Hair Weaves are especially popular because of the versitility it brings to your hairstyling options. Ever wanted to try a new color but afraid to commit to your natural hair? Or you always wanted to see what your hair would be like short, but don’t want to risk cutting your own hair? Though most people choose sew-ins because it brings instant length to their hair, there are many reasons that hair weaving is a great choice for hair flexibility. Not only does it keep your natural hair unaltered, it allows it much needed rest from excessive manipulation.

Braiding
Natural Hair + Extensions = Premium Braids and Twists
Braids
Because of the diversity of braiding styles, estimated times range from 2 hours for simple french braid extensions to 16 hours for a full head of long individuals. One of the benefits of braids (especially individuals) is that they last a long time (3-4 months) with little maintenance (6-8 weeks to rebraid hairline). You’ll only need to wash your hair every 2-4 weeks, and this style also protects your natural hair.
When it comes to hair extensions, braiding yields truly unique and creative styles by combining your natural hair with extension hair using the three strand underlay technique. Braids come in multiple variations and styles which usually break down into the category of French Braids (also known as Cornrows) which start by braiding hair along the scalp and Individuals which parts and separate sections of hair so that each individual braid leaves the scalp.

Twists
Twists tend to last 2-3 months, or as many as four if client comes in for maintenance after 8 weeks to have their entire hairline redone. Twists are light weight and low maintenance while protecting your natural hair and is a quicker install than braids (1-8 hours). Unlike braids, twists can look better as the style gets older specifically with kinky twists.
Much like braiding, twists come in varying styles that combine natural and extension hair by wrapping two strands together in small sections throughout the entire head.
