When there is loss of hair, people start looking at methods by which they can cover the hair loss up. If the hair loss is too severe, they might consider a transplant or restoration procedure. However, when the hair loss is mild, many people opt to simply wear some hair extensions. What many people do not realise is that while hair extensions might make you look good, they will lead to further hair loss. Extensions are actually glued to the scalp and many a times, they get torn away. If you really want hair extensions, it would be best that you go for the clip on ones.

While you might love the new burgundy coloured hair of yours, but it would be wise to let the colour run its course, before you apply the new layer. Your hair needs time to breathe and be in its natural state, every once in a while, or you can be sure that your hair will fall out. In addition, it is just as important that you not get multiple hair treatments at the same time. So, if you are getting your hair coloured, then leave the straightening, for another time. Multiple treatments in one go, means those many chemicals, heat and other tortures, and these will all leave the hair weakened and the follicles damaged.

When you wash your hair, make sure you use a soft or cotton towel to wipe your hair clean and ensure that excess water has been removed. Then, you can use a wide toothed comb to gently comb your hair.
