The Trichological Society says a growing number of salons are offering to do them at a cheap price and some hairdressers don't have the qualifications to put them in properly.

The organisation says that's leading to more young women suffering from hair problems such as bald patches and alopecia.

Barry Stevens is a hair scientist who runs the group.

He said: "People who have hair extensions usually have high hopes they'll look and feel good but very often it ends in tears.

"There can be quite serious consequences wearing them for a long period. They are capable of destroying hair permanently."

A report published in the British Journal of Dermatology also warns people about the possible dangers of hair extensions.

Researchers in the US and Italy say problems with them are more common than reported.

Do you agree?

Unfortunately, I must disagree. Extensions WHEN APPLIED AND WORN PROPERLY can give a client the perfect look they desire. Extensions as well as natural hair that is constantly pulled or styled excessively, will also result in hair damage and/or loss however we cannot sway women from styling their hair, rather we teach them how to do it "properly" to ensure that they do not suffer damage.
 
I found the article to be very insightful and it should be something a client is aware of so they understand the importance of finding a qualified stylist and knowing how to care for their style.
 
Just as cosmetic enhancements, as long as they are done properly and cared for properly, the client will indeed be much happier with the temporary end result.
