Different Types Of Hair Extensions
Clip-in Hair Extensions
Tape-In Hair Extensions
Tape-in hair extensions are precise as their name suggests. Tape-ins are often applied by a hairdresser since they must be aligned with the roots using a heated tool. To remove them you have to remove the glue which is used to attach them with hairs. Consequently, applying heat or adhesives to your roots can damage your hair extensions. This procedure takes about 40 minutes to an hour, and the extensions can be reused as long as they are properly cared for.
Weave Hair Extensions
The Weave hair is applied by braiding natural hair into cornrows first, then using a needle and thread to sew the weave into the braid or cornrow. Weave hair extensions are most typically used by persons with thicker hair because of the manner of application. Weaving is, in general, a time-consuming process (usually several hours.) Because the tight application method strains the scalp and can feel heavy or uncomfortable, it’s not suggested for thin or light hair.
An expert hairdresser applies this application since it is a highly technical and hard treatment that requires a professional to sew.
Cold Fusion Hair Extension
I-tips, Nano beads, and Micro rings are all terms for extensions that require the same upkeep and technique to fit the original hair.
Individual hair extensions tips are bonded to tiny wefts of hair with micro-link extensions. A micro-ring or nano-bead is clamped to each individual tip with a specialist hair plier. The beads are colored to match your natural hair and the points are arranged in perfect rows around the head. This form of application does not involve heat or adhesive glue to connect the extension to the hair and, when done correctly, can be a highly safe and discrete procedure.
Nano beads are often copper beads that are more suited to people with thicker hair. Because they are 90% smaller than micro rings, they are the most discreet type of hair extension. Micro rings, despite their size, are a discrete approach that is typically faster to apply and remove. It is better that you only use silicone-lined beads or rings, whatever method you use; the silicone will protect your natural hair and prevent sliding.
Individual tips would be beneficial for you if you frequently tie your hair up because individual ties allow your hair to flow around more freely.
Hot-Fusion Hair Extension
A pre-adhesive extension tip fuses to small portions of hair using a heated clamp to affix fusion bonds or keratin bond extensions to your hair. For those with finer hair, pre-bonded hair extension procedures are typically a preferable alternative because they do not put as much strain on the root of your original hair as other permanent hair extension methods. Your hairdresser may advise against fusion bonds if your hair has been damaged by over-processing or heat style; hot-fusion will cause further harm to your natural hair and impede healthy hair growth.
Pre-bonded extensions, like cold-fusion extensions, can take anywhere from 2-4 hours to apply for a whole head. Depending on your natural hair growth, you’ll need to have your bonded extensions pulled and re-positioned every 8-12 weeks. To remove the extension from the hair, your hairdresser will shatter the bond to break down the keratin, then apply a bond removal solution.
Conclusion
After careful analysis, it is concluded that hair extensions are only applicable if you find your hair damaged and weak. Try to consult dermatologists first as they have better treatment and methodology.
