Of course your hairstylist and extension specialist will make recommendations but it's key you understand a little about the different types of extensions so you can make sure you know exactly what to expect. Hand-tied beaded row extensions involve weaving wefts of hair into small sections of natural hair using hand-tying and beading techniques. This method offers a natural and comfortable fit, lasting between 8 to 10 weeks. Tape-in extensions, on the other hand, use double-sided tape to adhere wefts of hair to natural hair sections, creating a seamless blend that lasts between 6 to 12 weeks. Nano extensions utilize small nano beads to attach individual hair strands to natural hair, offering a lightweight and discreet option that can last between 8 to 12 weeks. Each type provides unique benefits tailored to different preferences and needs.
IF YOU WANT VOLUME:
Tape-in extensions might be your perfect match. These extensions are great for adding fullness and body to your hair, giving you that va-va-voom effect you've been dreaming of. Maintenance for tape-in extensions is required every 6-8 weeks to keep your look fresh and flawless. The downside to this method is that is requires more frequent maintenance and it can be difficult to wear your hair up. The upside is it is usually a little more cost effective off the hop - but if you add up coming in 2-3 week earlier than other methods it evens out in the end. Nano extensions are going to be your go to if you want have ULTRA fine baby hair especially around the face wear the other two options would be too noticeable. We usually use this technique as a blending technique vs a full head.
