HAIR EXTENSIONS MAY TRIGGER HAIR LOSS

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- Here's some hair-raising news about those trendy hair extensions: they may result in you losing your hair. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the fake hair attachments can cause problems if the extensions are attached too tightly or are too heavy for your follicles to handle. People who don't clean their hair extensions properly are also in danger of developing scalp diseases. Los Angeles-based hair transplant expert Dr. Stephen Grifka says many victims of poor hair extension jobs come to him for transplant surgery after their follicles fall out. He says you can prevent the dreaded side effects by making sure the fake hair isn't clipped too tightly to your real locks.
