Hair extensions are a great way to help yourself look younger.

A great deal of women cut their hair shorter as they age, either for low-maintenance hairstyling or because they believe longer hair is not age appropriate for older women. However, that does not have to be the case anymore as more older women are embracing longer hair.

If your natural hair is fine or thin or if you have trouble growing long hair, don’t despair. Hair extensions can be worn by women of all ages. Here are some reasons older women are choosing to wear extensions.

A Quick Fix

Depending on the type of hair extensions you choose, it only takes a short amount of time to put them in. You can have a completely different look in just a few hours with most types of hair extensions. While wigs have made progress in looking more realistic than they used to, extensions still have the edge. Whether you use synthetic or human hair, most people will not be aware it is not your real hair unless you tell them.

Human hair can be more expensive than synthetic hair so you should select a stylist who is experienced in installing hair extensions. Knowing how to care for them can also make sure yours are long-lasting. Your hair extensions can be attached either by weft or strand by strand. If you select the weft method, the stylist will sew or bond the extensions to your real hair.

Try a New Look

Wearing hair extensions gives you the opportunity to try new looks without committing to a permanent change. If you have always wanted to dye your hair a different color, you can try the new color using hair extensions. If you’re going gray or are already there, you can opt for extensions in your pre-gray hair color. An added benefit of colored extensions is you don’t have to worry about the color fading and you don’t have to expose your real hair to harsh dyes and chemicals. Using hair products for remy hair will keep your extensions in great shape.

Take Years Off

Older women with long hair often appear younger. Long locks that are well-groomed and frame your face can make you look youthful and take years off your appearance. However, there is a fine line between a sexy, young look and a long-haired hippy style. It’s best to follow the advice of a stylist you trust when it comes to sculpting your long extensions.

If you’re new to wearing hair extensions, it can take some time to get used to them. There is some maintenance involved, which is quite simple with hair products for remy hair. Most older women find the results worth the time involved and feel younger and more attractive with their newly flowing locks.
