One of the biggest myths in the hair industry is that you have to choose between having beautiful extensions and maintaining the health of your natural hair. At Authentic Locks in Leeds, we believe the two should go hand-in-hand. In fact, many of our clients find that their natural hair actually improves while wearing our systems.
If you have fine hair or are worried about thinning hair, scalp health is your top priority. Here is how we ensure your journey with luxury hair extensions remains a healthy one, allowing your own hair to flourish underneath.
The Foundation: Damage-Free Application
The secret to encouraging natural growth while wearing enhancements lies in the application. Damage typically occurs when extensions are too heavy or fitted poorly, causing “traction” on the follicle. At our hair extensions salon, we prevent this through:
Weight-Matching:
We meticulously match the weight of the extension to the strength of your natural hair. This is vital for fine hair, ensuring there is never too much tension on the root.
Safe Attachment Points:
Whether using miniature micro rings or bespoke hair loss solutions, we ensure the attachments are placed in the safest, strongest areas of your hair.
Expert Placement:
With over 11 years of experience, we know exactly how to avoid “tension spots,” allowing your scalp to remain relaxed and healthy.
Creating a “Protection Barrier”
For many clients, extensions actually act as a protective style. By adding human hair extensions, you are often:
Reducing Heat Styling: You no longer need to use harsh tools daily to create volume in your natural hair.
Limiting Over-Washing: Extensions allow you to go longer between washes, preserving the natural oils on your scalp.
Encouraging “Patience”: While your extensions provide the look you want today, your natural hair is left alone to grow without the stress of constant manipulation.
Essential Maintenance for Growth
To keep your scalp in peak condition, maintenance is non-negotiable. As your natural hair grows, the attachment point of the extension moves further away from the scalp. If left too long, this can cause the hair to tangle or lean. Regular refits at our Leeds salon ensure that:
The extensions are repositioned safely back to the root.
The scalp is thoroughly checked for any signs of irritation.
Your natural growth is monitored and celebrated!
