If you’ve decided to thicken or lengthen your hair with hair extensions, the next step is to figure out what kind you want. There are different types of hair extensions to choose from as well as different methods to putting them in, including clip-on, glued, weaves and fusion.
Clip-on extensions are strands of hair that have clips sewed into them for easy attachment to your existing hair. As such, this type of hair extension is a temporary solution – they’re fitted in the morning and should be removed in the evening so they don’t get ruined during the night. It’s a great option if you don’t want to wear extensions every day or just need some length or volume for a special occasion.
Extensions can be fitted before the hair itself is bonded, or each strand can be attached to your existing hair by applying glue to the tip of the strand and having it attached to your hair.
This method is useful for if you want to control the thickness of each strand and mix several colours. It can last from three to six months, depending on how fast your own hair grows.
Weft hair extensions, also known as weaves, are made up of long strips of hair that is sewn together using a machine. One way of attaching this type of extension is to have your hair braided into one spiral cornrow or several straight cornrows and have the weave sewn into the cornrows. It’s quick and easy to have this type of extension done and can last up to three months.
Another method of attaching hair extensions is with hot fusion. These are attached using a special hair connector that melts the keratin glue bond. A small section of your hair is then taken and laid on a bond.
