That is where we come in.

We hope this information about hair extensions is useful in your quest for thicker, longer tresses.

What are Hair Extensions?

Hair Extensions

Hair extensions are single hair strands that can be glued to your natural hair. The goal is to generate a natural look that is longer or fuller than your current hair.

Let's start with the basics of hair extensions. Real human hair or synthetic hair fibers are used to manufacture hair extensions.

Real human hair is obtained from a donor and used to create human hair. The term "Remy hair" refers to hair with all of its cuticles intact and pointing in the same direction. This prevents tangles and keeps the extension looking smooth and silky.

Synthetic hair is created from plastic fibers that do not contain any human hair. There are fine synthetic fibers that are meant to seem like genuine hair. Synthetic hair usually has an unnatural gloss and is less expensive than an actual human hair.

What Are The Types Of Hair Extensions?

Clip-In Extensions 

There are five different kinds of hair extensions. This includes hair extensions with keratin, weaves, glue-taped, and clip-on hair extensions.

• The keratin procedure uses a keratin-based dry "glue" on one end and a hot/cold drying treatment on the other to bond the hair extensions to your scalp. 
• Weaves are hair extensions put in with a needle and can last up to three months. 
• Tape-in extensions are taped to the hair from beneath the top layer. 
• Glue-taped extensions are identical to taped hair extensions, but glue is utilized to adhere to the hair. 
• Clip-on hair extensions are temporary extensions with a clip at the top that secures the extensions to the natural hair.

What Kinds of Hair Extensions Appear the Most Natural?

Human Hair Extensions 

Micro-ring or I-Tip designs are your best bet for the most natural look. These extensions are joined to the original hair in segments called strands using a clamping or heat bonding method. 

They're thin and can create volume and length to any part of the head. The movement of the hair appears natural since the strands of the extensions are attached to strands of real hair. 

Since these extensions are linked, they can be worn for a long time and last up to a year. As your hair grows, you'll have to remove them and replace them closer to the scalp. 

Which Hair Extension Is The Best?

Each hair extension has its pros and cons. So, the best hair extension depends on your personal preference. 

Below are the key features of hair extensions:

• Clip-in extensions are commitment-free because of the ease of installation and removal. 
• Sew-in hair extensions are more traditional and time-consuming types of hair extensions. They are secured to the scalp by weaving natural hair from ear to ear and then sewing the weft into the braid.
• Tape-Ins extensions have hair segments connected to double-sided keratin tape that's two inches thick. The tape is sandwiched between your natural hair strands to hold the extensions.
• Since glue-in extensions require up to 3 hours for installation, they are more expensive. They're applied by wrapping a grain of rice-sized plastic keratin around your natural strands.
• Halo extensions are the least invasive to the roots of your hair. A halo of translucent wire surrounds the crown of the head. It is also lightweight because it is not tied to any stands.
