Hair Extensions Concern


Question Posted Saturday July 20 2013, 9:53 pm

Ever since I got a thyroid condition I have not been able to get my hair to grow past my shoulders.

I've been looking online to find hair extensions that match my hair type, but they all come from different countries, like China, Brazil and India.

This may be a silly question, but can disease travel through hair? I know there are different diseases in different parts of the world.

I guess another way to ask this question is, if I order anything — say a gift — from a third world country, can a disease or illness travel with it? Or does that just happen with food..?

Thank you.

Get your extensions through a reputable salon.

Although there probably aren't nearly so many illnesses that could be passed on through hair, as through food (in fact, I'm pretty sure the major concern would be fleas and ticks, not bacteria or viruses) it's still a good idea and investment to go through the professionals when you want something like this done.

A good salon will know who to buy from for the best quality and reliability. A good salon will also be responsible for anything that goes wrong with the product, and will help you to know how to care for it and get the most out of it.

This really isn't something you want to do yourself. You just don't have the know-how or experience. Go through a pro.
