OR “Boys can Wear Extensions too!”
Do you remember the old saying that girls can do whatever boys can do? Well honey, the opposite applies as well. More and more men these days are getting hair extensions, and for a variety of reasons.
“Men come in wanting to achieve the look of Brad Pitt, but their hair is only halfway there,” says celebrity hairstylist Adel Chabbi. “Now they can get the other half instantly.”
Many men who get extra lengths added are in the fashion or entertainment industry and seek a little something extra for auditions and large events. According to Adel Chabbi, the majority of men don’t even realize this is an option. He has attached extensions ranging from an inch up to a half foot.
Men should have at least 6 inches of hair in order to attach the extensions properly and it is NOT considered a cure for male pattern baldness. Unlike female applications, extensions on men generally take about an hour max. Virgin Indian Remy hair is generally recommended for most men as it is the most supple and easiest to care for.
Men are also using extensions to add the ultimate length to common do’s like the Mohawk and the Pompadour. Famous singer Harry Styles from the band One Direction has caused a frenzy among British men as they are rushing out to receive their “Men-hancements” as well. Even Steven Tyler has admitted to wearing them. Whatever the reason may be, Studio40 welcomes all genders, colors, and creed. Call us today for any questions or to schedule a consultation.
