Did you know that 93% of survey respondents said they would consider wearing hair extensions in the future? If you are considering adding some long locks to your own style, you are in the right place. Keep reading to learn about the different types of hair extensions you can choose from.
1. Tape-In
If you have fine hair or want to be more discreet about the fact that you are wearing extensions then this might be the best option for you. These extensions will last between 4-8 weeks once they are applied by a professional.
The total application time will be between 30-60 minutes. For those people that tend to wear their hair up, these extensions are a great option because the wefts lay flat against your head.
Keep in mind that you will need tape-ins reinstalled every few weeks by a professional because your natural hair will grow out.
2. Clip-Ins
For anyone that has a commitment issue or damaged hair then clip-in extensions are the way to go. If you want a quick temporary option for long locks then with a clip in you can clip it right into your natural hair yourself without a professional and without worrying about damaging your hair.
If you are looking for better quality make sure to choose human hair instead of synthetic. With a human hair option, you can also dye it and style it. You also do not have to wash it very often only when there is product buildup or every 15 to 20 wears.
3. Microlinks
Microlinks are a perfect option for anyone that is looking for something that will last for months because these can last you between 3 to 4 months. It will take a pro to apply them and this process can take a few hours. Each extension is a small strand which is the reason that it takes so long but they are less damaging than other options because they don’t require heat or chemicals to apply.
The stylist will pull strands of hair through a small bead and then clamp the hair shut in order to attach the extensions to your hair. These extensions will blend easily and you can style as you please.
4. Bond
This is another option that will last you between 3-4 months, helping you go weeks without stepping foot into a salon. Applying bond extensions will take a few hours as well. These are also thin strands like microlinks but each strand is applied using a tool similar to a glue gun.
Because this option can be damaging to your natural hair it is best for coarse hair.
