Hair Implants?  Maybe a guy word for them but, no bud they are called “extensions”… Anyway, at least a guy made some effort and mentioned the noticeable change on my head.  And how can you not notice? Not only does a girl feel sexier with long beautiful locks, but it shows in her confidence.

This is the second time I have gotten Great Length extensions, and I have to say, I love them! Ever since I cut my long hair off last year I have been biting my nails waiting for it to grow back. Thankfully, I knew my stuff on extensions and made myself an appointment to get the Cadillac of extensions put in. I wanted them to last as long as possible, and I didn’t want to have to worry about them falling out or them feeling like a weave. Sorry.

There are in fact several different types of extensions you can get. Some with metal clamps that last approx. 6 weeks (and I hear are painful for a few days), sew-in extensions that last about as long as you can stand not washing your hair.  Bonded ones like Great Lengths that can last up to six months, (mine lasted about 4 months), and several other ways to extend your length.

It all depends on how long you want the hair to last so, ask all the questions that concern you. If you have had short hair for a while, try a clip-in type of extension first to see if you even like your hair longer, and to find the right length. Different types call for different price points, so check with your stylist or salon for more details, and shop around.

Here is a quick reminder: If you are using any type of anti-aging skin care that contains any sort of acid or exfoliant, use extra caution when you head out into the sun.

Removing the dead skin cells or rapidly sloughing away your top (protective) layer of skin, by using acids or exfoliants, exposes you to more danger than if you were not using the products at all.  The reason being is your newer and younger skin cells no longer have the extra layer to protect them.  So, the result is even more damage than you had before, if you over expose your fresh skin.

Besides, what’s the point of using anti-agers if you are soaking up the sun anyway?
