If you can’t grow 20 inches of hair on your own, extensions can help you look like you did. If you’re hair is thinning, extensions can help you look like you’re not. There are so many different ways to add length and fullness to your hair, as well as several factors to consider when choosing extensions. So, which one is right for your hair? We know it can be confusing, which is why we’re breaking down the five most popular extension methods—from what distinguishes one from another to the pros and cons of each—to make your selection process a cinch.
HALO EXTENSIONS
For the commitment-phone, the halo weft is clip, tape and glue-free! This temporary extension sits on top of the hair and is kept in place by an undetectable wire. The halo comes with one weft that has the same amount of hair as a full set of extensions.
- Application time: 30 seconds -5 minutes
- Maintenance: None
- Longevity: 9-12 months
CLIP-INS
Clip-in extensions have been around for a while, and are easy to use. Clip in as little or as many wefts to customize your desired thickness, and remove them yourself at any time.
- Application time: 5-30 Minutes
- Maintenance: None
- Longevity: 6-12 months
TAPE-INS
Tape extensions are a more permanent solution for long locks, as they are attached to your natural hair with adhesive. Despite their permanence, they’re very gentle on your strands. Each “weft” of hair consists of two, one-inch sections and those are applied onto your real hair.
- Application time: 1-2 hours
- Maintenance: 6-8 weeks
- Longevity: 6-9 months
Top of the Head Extensions
Unlike most extensions that attach at the back of your hair, only creating length, this lightweight, thickening extension attaches at the top, creating volume and adding length. Attaches with clips or can be bonded with adhesive enabling you to sleep and swim in it!
- Application time: Clips – less than 2 minutes Bonding – 1 hour
- Maintenance: Clips – None Bonding – monthly
- Longevity: 9-12 months
FUSION KERATIN BONDS
These are permanent extensions that are applied strand by strand and covered by the top layer of hair. Attached by melting the keratin bonds onto your real hair, they form a durable bond to lay flat to your head with little to no breakage and easy removal.
- Application time: 3-4 hours
- Maintenance: 3-6 weeks
- Longevity: 3-6 months
