Hair extensions are a fun way to switch up your hairstyle for any occasion. Depending on the type you choose, they can be made of human and synthetic hair, or simply strands of rubber or plastic. Human hair extensions last for about six months with proper care, such as regular shampooing, conditioning and detangling. Synthetic hair extensions don’t last quite as long but depending on the brand and quality of the material can still hold up for several months. Whichever option you go with, hair extensions are an easy way to create beautiful hairstyles without making a permanent commitment.
