Why Real Human Hair Extensions Are The New Self-Care Splurge (Move Over Facials & Botox)

The world is advancing with new beauty treatments; people are shifting their focus from sheet masks, face serums, injecting peptides, and now being excited about real human hair extensions. Modern women are now thinking of a beauty that not only enhances their confidence, but is easy for them to maintain and carry, and when all put together, real human hair extensions are winning a race with a major difference as compared to beauty treatments like Botox, implants, Chemical facials, peel offs etc.

Well, it is not being just said because we are a hair extension brand, but we have figures to prove that. According to recent studies, it is being shown that the search for real human hair extensions has increased by 125% on Google. Not only that, according to a Cosmopolitan survey, 68% of women say that they feel more confident when their hair is looking good rather than their skin.

So, it clearly shows that real human hair extensions are leaving their traces very well. Still, we have some solid reasons and facts to tell you why hair extensions over injections are making a hit.

 

Beauty is not a superficial concept. In fact, it is deeply psychologically rooted, and we have facts to show it.

• 63% of people said that looking good helps them to feel controlled even in the stressful situations.
• According to Haward's health report of 2022, engaging in beauty routines helps to reduce cortisol levels and uplift the mood of women.
• A study conducted by Psychology Today said that women confirmed that feeling beautiful enhances their confidence, which helps them to give better productivity in a social setting.

So, beauty is just not about looking glamorous from the outside. But it is all about looking glamorous and feeling glamorous from inside as well so that women can feel they can pull off everything and deliver their best.

 

When it comes to shelf life, there is no doubt that real human hair extensions last longer as compared to beauty treatments when it comes to serums or facials that last for a month or so. The fillers last for 3 to 6 months nothing more than that. But when it comes to real human hair extensions, it lasts more than a year if you manage them well.

Especially if you are buying real human hair clips in, ponytail extensions or semi-permanent hair extensions; for example, if you buy hair extensions from Indique's PURE collection, you can reuse them multiple times, and their quality will stay intact. They are made of hundred percent virgin human hair with the proper cuticle alignment, which keeps them in the best shape for the longest.

 

When it comes to real human hair extensions, they generally last longer as compared to beauty treatments. If you are wearing a good quality human hair extension, they last for more than a year, but at least a year is kept in a good position. On average, the per-wear cost makes it around less than a dollar, even if you are buying the extension set of $300. On the other hand, the Botox touchups are required to be redone every three months, ranging from $500-$700, which is the minimum cost of $1500. According to a 2023 Statista report, the average cost of a Botox session in the U.S. is $528, and most people require it 3–4 times a year. That’s over $1,500 annually for temporary results that fade in months.So what you are paying for real human hair extensions for a full year, on average, you are paying more than that for the three months only, and you might need a refill before that.

 

No pain, no gain. Well, this fact has totally been wrong in the case of human hair extensions, but in the case of beauty treatments, it still makes sense. Injecting yourself with needles and getting rollers moved on your face and body sounds like pain added. It feels like pain as well. Whereas the human hair extensions give you that transformation in no or less speed. The maximum pain you can get here is in the sew-in extensions, and that is also nothing compared to getting your skin actually punctured by the needles. Only the extensions are being tugged to your wig cap or cornrows, which sounds much easy.

If you want to skip the pain part, you can go for real human hair extensions in the form of tape-ins or lace closures and frontals,and you will have your beauty treatment without any cuts and blood.

 

Women are opting for beauty tools that are ethical and sustainable. Instead of putting something artificial inside their body, they are trying to go for the beauty treatments that work on the exterior and that too of good quality. According to a 2023 NielsenIQ survey, 78% of women prefer beauty products that are sustainably sourced and free from harmful chemicals. So women prefer to invest in ethically sourced real human hair extensions because there are no chemical coatings, and they last long, just like our extensions from the Lotus collection. Not only that, Women, even in skin beauty practices, are going for serums and sheet masks rather than chemical fillings because it is safe.
