How can hair extensions affect the client's natural hair growth?

Hair extensions can potentially promote natural hair growth when applied correctly. This occurs because high-quality extensions, when installed properly and maintained well, can protect natural hair from damage caused by environmental factors and styling practices. When a client opts for extensions, if skilled techniques are used, they can preserve the integrity of the natural hair underneath, allowing it to grow without the stress that styling or environmental exposure might otherwise impose.

Additionally, extensions can create a protective style, reducing the need for daily manipulation of the hair, which minimizes breakage and encourages the retention of length. Proper care and maintenance of both the extensions and the natural hair, such as regular conditioning and avoiding excessive tension, can further ensure that the natural hair continues to thrive while the extensions are in place. This highlights the importance of using the right methods and products tailored to the client's specific hair type and condition.
