WHICH IS THE BEST TYPE OF HAIR EXTENSION FOR YOU?

Are you interested in getting hair extensions but unsure which type is the right fit for you? Hair extensions are a convenient way to add length, volume, and even color to your hair, but selecting the correct type is crucial to meet your lifestyle and hair needs. We are proud to have a team of 12 extension specialists who possess extensive knowledge and experience in various types of extensions and installation methods. We are delighted to provide you with some options and maintenance tips to help you achieve your desired look.

SEW-IN HAIR WEFT EXTENSIONS

Sew-in hair extensions seem to be the ideal choice for anyone looking for a natural, fuller, and longer hair look that blends seamlessly with their hair. These extensions are installed using a sew-in technique with beads to secure the wefts, lying flat on the scalp and being invisible, comfortable, and flexible for styling up or down. They work best with medium to thick hair but are not suitable for those with thinning hair. With proper care, sew-in extensions can last up to a year, and you can reuse them beyond the 12-month mark since no glue is used during installation.

KERATIP EXTENSIONS

Keratip extensions are an excellent choice if you have uneven hair density and wish to fill out sparse areas. These extensions are lightweight and infused with heat to your hair, giving a natural flow and movement. They work best with medium to coarse hair and last about three months, but a full head application can be time-consuming.

TAPE-IN EXTENSIONS

Tape-in extensions are the most commonly used extensions, ideal for a thick and voluminous hair look. They cover a large area, taking between 20 minutes to an hour for fast application and can be reused by retaping and reapplying them every eight weeks. Tape-ins work best on medium to coarse hair and can be used on fine hair to add volume and length. However, improper installation or uninstallation can cause breakage due to the glue used during installation.

Consulting with a professional hairstylist is crucial to understanding the process involved with each type of hair extension before investing in them. Consider booking a complimentary consultation session to ensure the right fit for your needs.
