Myth 1: Hair Extensions Damage Your Natural Hair


One of the biggest fears people have about extensions is that they'll damage their natural hair. With NBR, this concern is significantly reduced. Unlike traditional methods that use adhesives or harsh attachment techniques, NBR employs a gentle, adhesive-free beaded row method. This distributes weight evenly across fewer attachment points—typically between 15 to 40 for a full head—reducing tension and potential damage compared to other methods.


Myth 2: Hair Extensions Look Fake


Many worry that extensions will look obvious or fake. NBR tackles this issue by custom coloring each set to blend seamlessly with your natural hair color and texture. By placing the rows higher on the head, NBR fills in areas around the face and sides where extra volume is often desired, achieving a more natural look.


Myth 3: Hair Extensions Are Uncomfortable


Comfort is key with NBR. By positioning extensions higher on the head, they not only look better but also feel better. This method allows for more even weight distribution and reduces the heavy feeling sometimes associated with extensions. We also use thin and lightweight hand-tied wefts, enhancing comfort and ensuring a natural feel that makes styling effortless, whether you're going for beachy waves or a sleek updo.


Myth 4: Hair Extensions Limit Styling Options


NBR extensions blend so seamlessly with your natural hair that you can style it however you like—whether it's messy buns or glamorous curls—without anyone knowing you're wearing extensions. It's all about enhancing your look, not restricting it.


Myth 5: Hair Extensions Are a High-Maintenance Nightmare


While some extensions can be high maintenance, NBR keeps things low-key. Thanks to its gentle attachment and natural blending, you'll spend less time fussing over your hair and more time rocking your look. With proper care, NBR extensions stay looking fresh and natural for longer.
