Hair Extensions And Hair Infusion Extensions, Safest Hair Extensions!

May 20, 2010 - PRLog -- In the past, if an individual experienced signs of hair loss their only options were either wig or toupee.  Today, thanks to the times, fashion came into consideration when designing these hair replacements.  Fashionable appearances are very important to many people as one’s presentation can compromise or build one’s social status, relationships with others, and even one’s own self-esteem.
Like all trends, there is something for anyone of any sex.  Because of technological advancements, numbers of different alternatives to hair loss, thinning, or balding have been introduced to the market.  Hair pieces and different methods have been created to cover the spotty areas caused by traction, alopecia, or chemotherapy treatments.   Hair additives have gotten so popular that celebrities are taking advantage of theses hair additives as they offer temporary glam without a permanent change.

When hair extensions first became available, they were significantly more expensive than any other type of hair services available.  Rodolfo Valentin was among the first to open his salon in Long Island in 1984, igniting his fame by saving his client’s hair to later convert them into hair extensions – a quite elaborate project as all extensions were handmade and a machine to mass produce was not available. Rodolfo manually selected and created the perfect method of hair extensions.

Mastering the art of organizing individual strands so that no root paralleled the ends while dealing out the with the hair to maintain it untangled and healthy, is a process used to make the hair “pure Remy hair” which is what all of Rodolfo’s products are made with.
Many methods that have hit and thrived in the market however, have been proven to cause severe damage to one’s natural hair.  “Induced hair loss by traction” has converted into an epidemic of women who have tried these failed methods and have lost a significant amount of natural hair.  

Many techniques rely on the weight of one’s natural hair and instead of using a proportional amount to balance the weight added; an over exerted amount is applied, creating unnecessary weight and stress on the roots, ultimately resulting in temporary, or in most cases, permanent hair loss.  Other methods melt artificial hair and one’s natural hair, resulting again in severe damage to one’s hair – stunting one’s hair growth.

Rodolfo Valentin witnesses these hair victims as they come to him in panic for fear that their own hair’s integrity has been compromised.  Many of these victims (both men and women) have walked through his door in tears showing him their bald spots, and significant hair loss caused by these other techniques that rip one’s natural hair from its follicles along with the artificial hair attached.  Hair damage has been shown in all ethnicities especially in his Caucasian clients.  

In 2005, claims for the best hair extensions were being made all over the world by different stylists, many of which were named after celebrities to give it more of a “couture” look.  Since then, an epidemic of “hair loss due to traction” became widely discovered.  Out from the woodworks came Rodolfo Valentin’s hair extensions, “Fusion Hair” which founded much recognition for its ability to be virtually invisible, weightless, reusable, and does not require heat for application also ignited a lot of envy and a strong competitor who claimed his fame with the same title.  Since that incident, Rodolfo’s extensions have been named “Hair Infusion Extensions”.  

Through the years, hair infusion extensions have demonstrated to be perfectly safe and healthy and the utmost versatile of all techniques for their weightless feel, undetectable attachments, and heatless applications.  Doris Day M.D., celebrity dermatologist, recognized Rodolfo’s incredible method and noted in her book, “Forge the facelift” of his extensions: “My favorite place for this type of addition of hair is Rodolfo Valentin in New York City, a remarkable man.  Rodolfo Valentin developed his unique, gentle techniques to increase volume with minimal tension on her existing hair.  It needs minimal maintenance…”
