Hair apparent
Has your hairdresser massacred your locks? Do you wish that your hair were longer, straighter, curlier, wavier or fuller? Would you want to sport luxurious hair and do everything (swim, spa, dance, etc.) with them? Then hair extensions are definitely what you need. Hair extensions come in two forms: “permanent” and clip-ons. Once attached to your original hair, the “permanent” variety can last you more than four months before you have them taken off. Once off, you can choose to rest your original locks or reattach the extensions. The clip-on variety can be attached in less than five minutes.
Myr Eridani of The European Hair Factory explains, “In our company, we collect only real, virgin hair. We are particular about texture and so we only collect hair from Europe and the Philippines. We have extensions of various lengths and styles. These locks can be permed, colored and styled just like a person’s original hair. We offer hair that is naturally straight, curly or wavy so there would be no need to perm them. With permanent extensions, we send our technicians over to the client’s house to attach the pieces on the hair. The pieces are strategically connected so that they are practically invisible. The client can forget about it! Clip-ons are perfect for people who are interested in changing their hairstyle for an event. We teach them how to clip the pieces on. The process is very quick.”

Permanent hair extensions
Materials used:
Hulls are small pieces of special patented rubbers that hold the strands in place and protect the natural hair from heat or damage, while micro-rings are small metal tubes that hold the strands in place.
Clip-on hair extensions
Specifications
A complete set usually is composed of 10 pieces of varying widths, which is enough to cover a full head. It can be colored according to preference.
Clip-on hair extensions are instant. They can be fitted at home in minutes with no need of help from a hairstylist. The clip-ons can be straightened, curled, waved or simply attached as they are.
Mini combs or “wefts” are attached to each hair extension piece to enable a woman to clip the hair on or off.
