Hair is traditionally considered to be an extremely important
to people as it can change human appearance dramatically and,
what is more, it may have certain socio-cultural effect. For
instance, it is not a secret that in many civilizations in
the past hairstyle could indicate to the social status of
an individual. Nowadays, people can change their hair style
easily but, at the same time, often they prefer to use extension
hair instead of wearing their own hair that may actually have
both advantages and disadvantages.
Speaking about hair choices, it should be pointed out that
hair extension has been popular since past epochs and basically
it served to a tool that can change an individual’s
hairstyle dramatically in a relatively short period of time.
Nowadays, it is possible to speak about different reasons
why people choose extension hair. One of the reasons is that
often people do not simply have their own hair that was long
enough or they simply do not like how their own hair looks
like. In such situations, they naturally prefer extension
hair since it can, firstly make their hair longer, and secondly
more beautiful.
Moreover, at the present epoch, it is quite a usual thing
when people experiment with their hair and hair style and
sometimes hair extensions is simply essential to create a
certain image of an individual. For instance, when people
dye their hair they often want to find some unusual color
or shade that cannot be achieved with their own hair even
if the most advanced dyers are used. In such a situation,
hair extensions provide an opportunity to choose from a variety
of colors, including neon and pastel shades and, what is more,
dyers may be harmful to human hair while the use of hair extensions
eliminates this problem.
However, it is still necessary to underline that hair extension
cannot fully substitute for people their natural hair of their
own. Even though, along with synthetic hair it is possible
to use natural hair extensions, it is still evident that the
use of hair extensions, even though it may make a person more
beautiful, do not always produce a positive impression on
the surrounding since the fact that a person uses hair extensions
creates an impression that there is something fake in this
personality.
At the same time, often hair extensions do not simply fit
to a person’s complexion, for instance, at least, in
such a way as her own hair does. This is another argument
in favor of the use of natural hair of your own. Anyway, whatever
the quality of hair extension is, it is always worse and less
natural than the natural hair of an individual.
This is why it is possible to conclude that it is really possible
to chose either hair extensions or hair of your own, depending
on the situation, but it is always necessary to remember that
hair extensions are created by humans while your own hair
is created by nature. This is why, in actuality, the choice
between hair extensions and hair of your own is the choice
between artificial and fake and natural.
