Permanent vs Temporary Hair Extensions
A permanent hair extension stays in the hair from 4 weeks up to 4 months depending upon the method.
A temporary hair extension (clip-in hair extensions) is applied for the night and taken out before you go to bed.
You cannot substitute clip-in hair extensions for permanent. The clips are fine for an evening, however, extended wear can cause you some major issues.
The clips can cause strain and cause breakage up to alopecia areata. Basically, it can make your thin fine hair even worse.
If you are unsure about hair extensions I suggest trying a clip-in extension system to get your sea legs.
If you are ready to jump in and have the hair of your dreams all the time… then take the plunge into permanent extensions. Just keep in mind the even though it says permanent, it actually does come out eventually.
The best part is it is done properly your hair should be exactly as it was before you had extensions applied.
