Extensions have become a firm favourite for women around the world as a quick and convenient way to change their hairstyles and appearance. Loved by celebrities and used as a staple by hair stylists within the TV, movie and fashion industries extensions are now available on most high streets throughout major cities as well as online. However, with the widespread popularity and new lines appearing on the market it is sometimes hard to keep track of prices.

Many people who are seeking extensions but they are not willing to pay a high price to have them put in will look into synthetic hair. The nice thing about synthetic extensions is that they can be put into the hair and last for several months and beyond if they are taken care of. At a fraction of the cost of human hair, these extensions are just right for somebody who wants to look amazing without the hefty price tag.

Bonding, also known as hot fusion is the traditional way of placing extension in the hair. This method is done in a salon. The stylist will use hot glue to attach the hair extension to your natural hair. The price for this method is around $300, but can vary depending on where you live and how many extensions you need in your hair.

The best way to gauge the quality of a hair extension is by assessing the cuticle. Usually, prices can also be an indicator of the overall quality. The more the price of the extension the more will be the quality and vice versa. Also, if the layers of the cuticle are intact and facing the same direction it means it is a healthy cuticle and so the price of the hair extension will also be higher. Bad quality cuticles indicate interlocking cells which can cause matted and knotted hair.

There are salons that offer hair extension prices much less than these listed. Before buying discount hair extensions, however, make sure that the hairdresser is qualified. He or she should be a licensed cosmetologist with experience in applying hair extensions.

The last thing that you need to do is to choose the color that you want. Most human hair extensions come in so many different shades that it is super easy to match your color of hair. You do want to make sure that you have your normal hair the color you want first, so either choose the dye that you like or leave it natural. Either way, you want to have your natural hair the same color as the human hair extensions before they are put in.

If the bride is thinking about extensions for her wedding day only, then she would probably go with the more temporary methods available today. Bonding is a temporary method, but it does involve applying an adhesive based product to your hair. I have heard of some hair damage occurring from the removal of these types of extensions.

Chinese hair is your least expensive option. These are usually the hair extensions you will find for $40 per 100 strands or a ridiculously low price like this. This type of hair is coarse and thick. The texture requires that the hair be chemically treated before it can be used in hair extensions. After the treatment, it lacks shine and has a rough texture. Many Chinese extensions are coated with silicon to give it a shine and make it more appealing.
