Title: Different types of hair extensions
1What are the different types of hair extensions?
2Clip-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. - Clip-in hair extensions
3Tape-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. - Tape-in hair extensions
4U-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. - U-tip hair extensions
5I-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. - I-tip hair extensions
6Machine 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. - Machine weft hair extensions
7Hand-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. - Hand tied weft extensions
