All About Hair Extensions
From the Armstrong and Getty Show October 19, 2005
- Shopping column in the newspaper in the Sacramento Bee - A woman is asking about hair extensions. "Can you explain the different procedures, cost and maintenance, and if any local salons do this." - Are they just $20? And how long do they last?
- One salon owner says it should be considered like buying braces. Beware of glue in or sew in. The extensions are taken out every 5-12 weeks, taken out, and then reattached. "Why not grow your hair longer?" - You can have them today.... It's human hair + installation. The salon owner says her own extensions are bra length, costs about $550 for the hair, and 150-250 for the installation. $800 total.
You want to ask where the hair comes from - European hair is the best.
There is maintenance involved, avoid brushing too close to the scalp. They must commit to the color, and your natural hair has to be colored the same. Shampoo can be done the same way as the natural hair.
Caller notes:
- European hair is softer, asian hair is more coarse. Europeans probably don't style it as much.
- Caller Laura: Girls in India sell their hair when they are 12 or 13, they keep their hair covered all their lives to keep it from being damaged.
- "Do we have any problem with shaving the heads of little girls to supply our wealthy nation?"
- A&G: Why not just grow your hair that long? Or have a farm of indian girls whose hair you steal?
- A&G: "She was an American girl, with hair from india"
- A&G: I don't have any problems with a nation so vane that we shave the heads of third worlders so they can eat.
Caller: Be wary of hair from Europe. A friend had lived in Prague. She had curly blonde hair past her butt, and she was attacked and they stole her hair, cutting her hair to her ears. She was so freaked out, she hasn't been able to grow her hair out since.
- How much would that be worth? Walking around with long naturally blonde hair is like walking around with $5000 in your back pocket.
Caller John: How's it going two sack joe? My wife donated her hair to Locks of Love, where they make wigs for cancer patients.
Caller: Nicole from Pittsburgh - African American woman, said extensions have only become extensive since caucasians started wearing them. Most black people's hair doesn't grow to a length of a caucasian, and there are many kinds of hair weaves, including glued to the scalp.
