Hair extensions themselves do not inherently damage your natural hair. However, certain factors and improper usage can lead to damage if not handled carefully.

 

Improper installation and removal techniques can cause damage to your natural hair. If extensions are attached too tightly or removed without care, it can result in hair breakage or traction alopecia, a condition where constant tension on the hair follicles leads to hair loss.

If you're considering getting hair extensions, it's important to do your research and consult with a hair-extensions expert to ensure that they're right for you and the correct hair type and product is used

Proper care and maintenance, such as gentle brushing, using sulfate-free shampoos, and avoiding excessive heat styling, can also help preserve the health of your natural hair while wearing extensions.
