Looking for a new hairstyle, but don’t want to wait months for your hair to grow a few inches in length? If so, you might be one of many people who are turning to hair extension services these days. When it’s estimated that the average woman has 104 different hairstyles over the course of her lifetime, hair extensions offer a fresh new look — and no one will be able to tell your hair isn’t real.

There’s no denying that hair extensions are a great way to switch up your style, lengthen your locks and add body to hair. But are they the right option for you? Find out with this quick list of some of the most commonly-asked questions people ask about hair extension services:

Q: Will hair extensions damage my hair?

A: No! Contrary to popular belief, extensions won’t cause your hair to fall out. As long as your stylist correctly clips or sews your extensions in correctly, your hair will be as healthy and strong as usual. Just be sure to clip your extensions in as close to your scalp as possible, as that’s the strongest part of your hair strand.

Q: How do I store hair extensions?

A: If you have clip in extensions, storing them is fairly simple. Large jewelry pouches, makeup bags, clutches and similar mid-sized bags are great for keeping your extensions protected while you’re not wearing them. These days, there are even tiny clothing hangers made especially for hair extensions, which are also a must if you’re a clip in enthusiast.

Q: Can I cut my extensions?

A: Absolutely! If you find that your extensions are a bit too long, you can ask your stylist to trim an inch or two off the ends to better blend them in with your current hairstyle. It’s all about what looks best on you and what makes you feel confident about yourself.
