Which Extension Method Is Best for You?

Believe it or not, there’s a handful of ways to use for extensions.

The method you prefer will depend on the density and texture of your hair. Each of the following methods also has its maintenance regimens you should be aware of before choosing.

Clip-Ins

Clip-in extensions are the most common for short-term use. Their wefts attach easily to your natural hair. Which means you can do it yourself – no need for a stylist.

They’re also one of the most affordable options. There are both synthetic and natural clip-in extensions.

They tend to hold best with hair of medium density. Those with fine hair have to be careful, as they can be easily seen.

Tape-Ins

Looking to invest in long hair that will last up to 3 months? Is your hair thin?

Chances are your hair stylist will recommend tape-in extensions. These extensions attach to your natural hair, similar to clip-ins.

The difference is that they’re then taped and sealed to your natural hair. The tape can either be one-sided or double-sided.

Tape-in extensions are best for those with hair of thin or fine density. It’s best to go to a salon to have them put in professionally. Though they cost more, they’re a better quality that will give you long, natural hair for months!
