Starting a New Conversation Around Eco-friendly, Luxury Hair Extensions & Self Confidence

When you think of “luxury hair extensions” there tends to be a typical aesthetic that comes to mind. Over time, it seems as though a certain demographic has almost claimed extensions for themselves, leaving the rest of us to not see where we belong in the world of hair extensions. 

For the record, there’s room for sooo many types of people. The range of situations where hair extensions are the best solution is vast! So let’s get comfortable, and dive into the world of eco-friendly, luxury hair extensions, and where you might find your place. 

To start off right, align yourself with a company that shares the same values as you. When we think about environmental impact, and ethical choices in the marketplace, it feels better to have some power in making informed decisions, that lead to reducing “our footprint” as much as possible. Taking your power back by researching and educating yourself about business practices is an important first step in making the best, sustainable choices for your luxury hair needs and other consumer goods.

It’s important to have these conversations as much as possible and keep them going. Sharing information and spreading awareness can lead to empowering others with knowledge and a new found enthusiasm for making the best decisions for themselves, and the environment.

We Don’t See Ourselves in This World of Hair Extensions

We often see only one side of the world of extensions. All the glitz and glam of abundant, flowing lengths of hair - there's a lot of Rapunzels out there *wink* 

Something we don’t talk much about is how impactful extensions can be on your self confidence. As women, our bodies change so much throughout the course of our lives. We face the brunt of many hormonal changes between puberty and menopause - especially if you decide to have children! 

We don’t talk enough about the changes that take place and how normal they are, or even how difficult these changes are on our emotional well-being. Generally speaking, our femininity is tied to our looks. Most of us grow up hearing about our looks first before our intelligence or capabilities. Historically our ability to “look good” or “be beautiful” was our ticket to a good future because it would enable us to acquire a life partner who could take care of us and our families. This is how society was not so long ago. 

These views are not as “old school” as you might think. This sort of "societal norm" starts to become embedded into the fibers of who we are. As much as we know that our value is based on more than just our looks, it really starts to feel like this uncomfortable accessory that we carry around everywhere we go. Women experience (at times, drastic) changes throughout the different stages of life and we’re supposed to still love ourselves even if society doesn’t seem to care about how difficult these changes can be, or how difficult it is to manage emotionally. At times, we can barely recognize ourselves. We are expected to show up as confident and friendly as ever, while the world around us just doesn’t embrace us the way it used to. We look different, we feel different, and the world treats us a little differently. These changes can trigger low self-esteem and a general sense of identity loss - but we’re still supposed to smile and be happy and confident, otherwise we’re considered rude (bitch!). *eye roll*

Some of these changes include; weight gain, changes in skin texture and complexion, brittle hair and nails, mood changes, excessive stress hormone (cortisol - having various effects on the body), sleep issues, general lack of enthusiasm and energy, and of course - hair loss! 

Hair loss for women can be anything from subtle, to a noticeable receding hairline, or even global (all over the entire scalp) drastic thinning - where it is impacting how you live your life, how you dress and how you have to camouflage your hair loss. Hair loss can be so different for everyone. Sometimes hair falls out and comes back, and for other people it is a permanent change. Sometimes a slight change in your hairstyle can help you cope with this “new” version of your hair, and other times you would benefit from adding hair additions like hair extensions or hair toppers.

Eco-Friendly, Luxury Hair Extensions Are For Everyone

All this to say, extensions can help you feel like yourself again. It’s that simple. You can gain some length if your hair is not growing as quickly as before. You can regain some volume that has been lost over time. You can manage and style your hair and it will hold up longer with extensions if your fine hair doesn’t hold a style anymore. You can add highlights with extensions if you want to give your hair a break from chemicals. Extensions can do more than you realize. You don’t have to try to achieve “Barbie” standards for beauty, but just your own standards for what makes you feel good about yourself, and confident to face the world. 

Eco-friendly, luxury hair extensions could be exactly what you’ve been looking for, but no one told you that. Maybe it’s been hard to see yourself in this world that shows a very narrow view of beauty. 

Here at Rooted Hair Extensions, we see you and we understand you, because we are you.
