The Risks of Cheap Hair Extensions

The hair problem
Budget sets use Asian hair stripped of its cuticle and coated in silicone. It looks shiny for a week, then dulls, tangles and mats after 4 to 5 washes. It cannot be corrected and reused, so you pay again.
The application problem
Cutting corners on price often means oversized bonds, too much tension, or rushed placement. That is what actually damages natural hair and creates the horror stories people blame on extensions in general.
Hidden fees
A low headline price sometimes hides charges for the hair, the fitting or the correction. A clear studio names the full price upfront. Ask what is included before you commit.
