Hair Extension Methods

 

Hair extension services are the most luxurious salon or retail hair service available and finding the best hair extensions for your hair type can be quite the task. It should be thought of as the most affordable facelift because fuller hair makes every woman look at least 5 years younger. In our humble opinion, most people don’t appreciate the luxury of access to 100% human hair whether for length, volume or chemical-free highlights.

While there are many different brands and types of hair extensions available it is important to remember that not all methods are created equal and the quality of the hair, craftsmanship, warranties etc. differs significantly from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Choosing a hair extension brand and method can be overwhelming but it is important that you choose the one that is best suited for you. This depends on several factors, including hair type, lifestyle, and budget.

Hair extension methods can be broken down into two different categories and each has various methods of attachment:

Strand by strand – bonded, micro links and knotting. wefted panels – tape in, clip in, flip in, sewn in and beaded in.

Hair extension methods can be broken down into two different categories and each has various methods of attachment:

 

STRAND BY STRAND METHODS

 

The strand by strand method utilizes approximately 20 – 40 strands of hair, attached together at one end using a BHS bond /keratin or polyurethane. Strand by strand extensions are attached to small pieces/sections of the wearer’s hair using a warm (bonded with a heat gun) or cold fusion (copper cylinders and plyers). Strand by strand systems are often referred to as a keratin bond, u or nail tip, flat tip or micro links and nanorings.

Bonded strand by strand are attached to the hair using a heating element. Your hair is placed between the U-tip and sealed with a hot extension tool which melts the Keratin glue which is rolled into the hair. The bonds are attached close to the root allowing for a little space for movement. Volume applications use between 100 – 150 strands whereas length can require as many as 300 strands. The number of strands will depend on the amount and length of the wearer’s own hair, the desired look, and length.

Budget: Most Hair Extension Specialist will not charge separately for hair and application, most charge by the look. The longer the application time and the amount of hair used will determine the cost.

 

Budget: $500 – $1000+
The cost for strand by strand hair extensions depends on the brand, how many strands are added, and in which city they’re applied.   Strand by strand is typically the most expensive method due to the lengthy application time;

the national average is 4 – 6 hours.  

Most suitable for coarse, thick hair and fine hair textures as bonds are individually cusomized to the individual needs
Hair extensions can last between 16 – 20 weeks with proper maintenance, making this type of application the most durable. 

 

 

Cold Fusion, Micro-Links or I-tip: 

 

Hair extension method where small sections of your hair are pulled through a small cylinder/bead/lock and clamped shut with a pair of plyers. Reputable companies use copper cylinders lined with silicone to protect your natural hair from breakage.

 

Budget: $600 – $2,500+
The cost for strand by strand hair extensions depends on the brand, how many strands are added, and in which city they’re applied.

Since the extensions are individual strands, the hair moves a little more naturally. 
The application uses no heat or glue. 
Hair is reusable, and any extensions that may have slid down or off can be fixed in about an hour by our experienced technician. 

 

 

Weft Extensions

A weft of hair is defined as a plurality of hair attached at one end.  There are three types of wefts available, machine made, hand-tied or injection molded.  Wefts vary in size from 1″ to 60″ but can be any length and are applied to the hair as panels in rows rather than as individual strands.  Wefts can be applied using tape, clips, beads, or sewn-in/non-braided method.

 

 

Clip In Hair Systems

 

Clip in hair extensions is a temporary hair extension method, where wefts of hair are applied using small pressure sensitive clips.  These are a great option for those who are not ready to commit to wearing extensions on a daily basis.
