Unfortunately, this information isn't true. Yes some hair extensions can cause damage to the hair and scalp, but ONLY if they are done improperly or with damaging agents or materials.
What could a damaging agent or material be?
Glues, bonds, tapes or any other kind of adhesive. These generally attach directly onto your scalp and require heat or chemicals for removal. All of these are detrimental to the growth of your hair and integrity of your scalp.
What other alternatives may exist you might ask?
The microbraid technique. African-Americans have the finest hair of all races, but people are led to believe their hair is the strongest, just as they have thick looking hair .. i.e. afro styles. Traditionally, braiding and cornrowing was created to GROUP all of the hair together to allow it to grow without being exposed to heat damage or chemicals etc.
If that works for the fine hair of African-Americans, why couldn't it work for other races that have fine hair? It's important to note that a microbraid technique is not a weave, just as it's not as bulky, and the technician need not braid the entire head.
We conducted an experiment here with a lovely woman by the name of Laura Cuthbert. She has been suffering from trichotillomania for the past 14 years, and needed a solution where most of her hair was covered, to prevent her hair from becoming damaged. Her hair growth, from a microbraid system, will truly astound you:
Many women who suffer from alopecia, trichotillomania, psoriasis, hypothyroidism, chemotherapy hair loss and fine hair are turning to non surgical hair loss solutions, due to it's low cost. Hair transplants don't always have a high success rate.
You need to be careful with clip-ins, as too much usage can cause friction on the scalp from the clips.
And, Josh, microbraided extensions are incredibly low maintenance :)
Be sure to always do your research and don't believe naysayers to a technique that is quite life changing!
