- What are hair extensions
- Choose the type
- Consider the color and texture
Hair extensions are available in a wide palette of colors that might confuse you a little. If you do not want a striking change of your appearance, then go for different shades that are close enough to your hair color. In this way, the extensions will perfectly blend into the strands of natural hair and nobody will notice the fake hair.
- The length
- Application methods
Clip-in hair extensions are by far one of the most popular options. They do not necessarily require a visit to a beauty salon, do not affect the hair health, and can be reused many times.
The gluing (bonding) method uses an adhesive applied close to the roots to fix the extensions. It is a quick alternative but lasts less than fusing and weaving.
Fusing takes several hours and demands a professional service. Hair extensions are attached by the help of a keratin bond heated with a hot tool. In the case of weaving, the person’s hair is braided in tight cornrows and the extensions are sewn into the braids.
There is also a newer method called the micro-loop or micro-ring method, when the extensions are attached to small rings or tubes and clamped into the strands of natural hair.
