Types of Hair Extensions

Hair extensions are a fun and stylish way to add length or volume to your locks. However, they can cause damage if not cared for properly. 

Luckily, there are a few tricks to caring for your hair extensions to prevent damage. Read on to learn more about how to keep your hair extensions healthy! 

Tape in hair extensions

These extensions are a great choice for those looking to add volume and length to their hair. Each flat weft is concealed within your own strands, which makes them a discreet choice for everyday wear.

While these extensions are easy to apply and relatively low-maintenance, it is important that they are applied by a qualified stylist. Crooked or improperly placed tape ins don’t look natural and can pull on the roots of your own hair, which could cause damage. Additionally, the removal process requires a high-level of skill to minimize damage to your natural hair.

To keep your Tape In Hair Extensions healthy and looking their best, make sure that you brush them properly every day. Avoid putting too much pressure on the wefts and always brush from tips to roots. Use a soft-bristled brush and be gentle when brushing your extensions. Also, be sure to use a heat protection spray before using hot styling tools.

Pre-bonded hair extensions

Pre bonded hair extensions are also known as keratin tips, which are a popular choice for hair salons because of their versatility and super-secure nature. They fuse into your natural hair using a heat connector, which melts the keratin bonding glue to seal it into the roots of your natural hair. In addition, keratin tips are easy to remove.

Hair stylists apply these extensions by starting with a small section of your natural hair and placing the glued end of the pre-bonded extension under it about half an inch from the root. Then the stylist uses a hair extension tool to melt the keratin glue and then rolls it between their fingers to shape and secure the attachment.

Like other hair extension methods, bonded tips can damage your natural hair if they’re not fitted and removed properly or if you don’t follow all the aftercare recommendations from your stylist. However, if you take proper care of them, you can reuse your pre-bonded hair extensions for up to 3-4 reapplications before it’s time for them to be removed.

Sew in hair extensions

Sew in hair extensions are a great way to add length, thickness, and color to your natural locks. They can be made from human or synthetic hair, and they come in many different colors and textures to match your natural strands. This method is also a good choice for people who have thin hair, as it doesn’t cause as much damage to the natural hair as other extensions.

To install a sew in, begin by braiding a section of your hair to form a base for the extension. Then, place the weft of hair against your hair and create a horizontal part across it. Using a curved needle and nylon thread, sew the weft into your hair. Move to the next section and repeat the process.

To maintain your sewn-in hair extensions, moisturize the scalp and braids daily. Use a sulfate-free shampoo to avoid stripping the hair of its moisture, and use a deep conditioner to restore its softness. It’s also important to avoid overwashing your hair, as it can lead to dryness and breakage.

Clip in hair extensions

This type of hair extension is a good choice for women who want to add length and volume quickly. It is also easy to apply and take out. Depending on the type of clip-ins, they can last for months or even years if treated well.

It is important to choose a color that matches your natural hair color, as this will help them blend in more seamlessly. If you are unsure what shade to choose, you can always consult with a professional to get the right look.

Before starting to apply your clip in hair extensions, make sure that your hair is clean and dry. It is also a good idea to use a volumizing spray or powder, especially if your hair is fine. Many people make the mistake of clipping their hair extensions as close as possible to their scalp. However, this can cause stress on the hair and scalp. Instead, it is best to clip them further down to avoid this problem.
