Title: Different types of hair extensions


1
What are the different types of hair extensions?
  • Superhairpieces

Clip-in hair extensions
  • Clip-in hair extensions are extensions that you
    clip onto your scalp or natural hair.
  • They are ideal for temporary use such as special
    occasions as they can be manually installed
    within minutes and can also be removed before
    bed.
  • Clip-in lifespan depends on how often they are
    worn. That said, they can last up to a year or
    more with proper care and maintenance, especially
    if they are not worn everyday.

Tape-in hair extensions
  • Tape-in extensions are taped onto the scalp or
    hair of the wearer, and are arguably the most
    popular option when it comes to extensions.
  • They are worn regularly over a long period of
    time and are not removed until either the tape
    needs to be changed or new extensions need to be
    installed.
  • Because they are used more regularly, they
    require more maintenance and care. They usually
    last six to eight weeks before they have to be
    reinstalled.
  • They can be installed manually, but it is
    recommended to have a professional technician or
    hair stylist install them.

U-tip hair extensions
  • U-tip also called Hot Fusion, Nail Tip or
    Keratin Bond pre-tipped, U-shaped hair
    extensions that are lined with silicon.
  • The wearers hair is sealed in between a U-shaped
    curve at the tip of the extension with melted,
    non-damaging keratin glue using a hot fusion
    iron.
  • U-tip hair extensions are beneficial because they
    are lightweight and secure. These extensions are
    also ideal for people with coarse or thick hair.
  • The application process can take up to five to
    eight hours and it is highly recommended to have
    a professional technician or hair stylist install
    it.

I-tip hair extensions
  • I-tip are another type of hair extension that is
    extremely popular.
  • They are also known as Stick Tip or Cold Fusion
    hair extensions which are slipped into a copper
    or silicon cylinder/bead and compressed onto
    strands of your hair.
  • They cannot be installed manually and require
    hair stylists or professional technicians. It can
    take up to four to six hours to install.
  • The main benefit of these extensions is there is
    no need for any adhesives or heat during the
    application process. As a result, its easier to
    make adjustments to them during the application
    process.

Machine weft hair extensions
  • Machine weft hair extensions are extensions that
    are sewn together by a machine onto a weft. They
    can be installed with clips, glue, or sewn on to
    the clients hair.
  • Machine weft hair extensions are thick, bulky and
    weigh more than other extensions. Because of
    this, they give more volume and density while
    they are also quite sturdy and durable.
  • Those with thick hair who are looking to add more
    volume will find machine weft hair extensions to
    be ideal for their needs.
  • Depending on the quality, with proper care and
    maintenance, machine weft extensions can last
    between four months to a year.

Hand-tied weft hair extensions
  • Hand-tied weft hair extensions are extensions
    that have been sewn-in together by hand.
  • This method does not require a lot of hair which
    creates a thinner lining resulting in a more
    natural look against the head.
  • There is less shedding as well as more
    flexibility compared to the machine weft hair
    extensions. However, this also leads to thinner
    hair density.
  • They can also add natural volume for people with
    thin, fine hair. However, they cannot be cut
    compared to machine weft due to their delicate
    nature.
  • With the proper care and maintenance, hand-tied
    extensions can typically last between four months
    to a year.
