My Mind on Your Follicles, and Your Follicles on My Mind

Your follicle is a mini organ that needs your respect and care in order to function for you optimally. There are important issues to consider when deciding to wear hair extensions.  The safety of your existing hair strands and the health of your hair follicles need to be considered when choosing extension options. 

Long term wear, if not done safely, can put stress on your hair follicle and cause hair loss.  Traction alopecia can occur when too much continuous tension is placed on the hair. The continuous tension on the hair can damage the follicle and cause hair loss and inflammation in the follicle that prevents hair from regrowing. Depending on the degree of damage to the follicle hair may or may not grow back in that follicle. 

Regular maintenance to relieve the hair shaft and follicle from the tension of extensions can alleviate the issues that long term wear can cause. Giving regular intervals of rest to hair follicles. 

Due to the safety issues concerning follicle health it's vitally important to have a knowledgeable professional working with you in choosing the proper extensions for you and your needs.
