Hair Extensions
Hair Extensions: Are you considering getting hair extensions but don’t know which system is best for you? Are you wondering about the differences between the different types of extensions?
Extensions are strands or wefts of hair that are added to your natural hair and are primarily used to add volume and length. You can achieve the same results with all types of extensions; the only difference is the application method. Based on how they are applied, we can divide them into two types: impermanent extensions and permanent extensions.
What are the best hair extensions?
All methods are effective when applied correctly, and a preliminary assessment helps you select the most suitable system. For fine hair, adhesive and keratin extensions are recommended. For thick hair, the best method is micro-ring extensions. The weft technique with knots is best suited for denser, more durable African-type hair; otherwise, it can cause breakage in fine, European-type hair.
We recommend the clip-in system if you are looking for a comfortable system for all hair types without the risk of breakage. This method is harmless because it is not permanent; it is applied instantly with clips.
What are the benefits of the temporary or clip-in technique?
They are easier and faster to apply; clip-in extensions are perfect for ornamental hairstyles on special times. If you poverty more capacity, length, or density, they allow you to add extra hair instantly. The only drawback is that you cannot sleep with them in; you must remove them before going to bed.
Can hair extensions cause hair loss, breakage, or damage to natural hair?
Hair extensions are harmless for your hair and will never damage your scalp when applied correctly. The only thing that can damage the hair is an incorrect application method. For example, if keratin or micro-ring extensions are used on a petite section of hair, this can weaken the root of the selected strand. At EXTENSIONmania, we always recommend that a qualified professional with experience in this type of work apply extensions.
If a problem does occur, it may be due to the assortment of inappropriate hair sections, whether too large or too small. An incorrect application technique usually causes hair loss and breakage.
At EXTENSIONmania, we begin with an initial analysis based on your hair type and the number of extensions needed. Above all, the key is expert advice from highly qualified staff to prevent mistakes when choosing the right kind of extension and application system.
What are the benefits of permanent hair extensions?
Permanent hair extensions can be applied using different systems and should always be done in specialised salons by a professional. The central extension systems are adhesive, nano-ring, and micro-ring.
Keep in mind that the number of extensions you’ll need will depend on your hair type (fine or thick) and how far hair you have (a ration or a little). For example, someone with fine, thin hair will need fewer extensions than someone with thick, voluminous hair. Therefore, let the team of stylists at EXTENSIONmania advise you. They will provide you with the best advice to ensure a completely natural result.
