Hair Extensions Methods


Here are a few guidelines that will help you decide if hair extensions are right for you:






    • Your natural hair should be shoulder length or longer for at home extensions. Shorter hair requires additional preparation that should be left to a professional.

    • Your natural hair should be medium to thick in texture. Thin or fine hair will require additional preparation to hide the tracks and make the extensions appear natural and  chose a color that closely match with your hair color.

       

    Pre-Bonded Hair Extensions.


     







    Pre-bonded hair extensions offer long lasting, strong hair that you can treat in the same way as your own hair. These should always be applied by a professional stylist
    Pre-Bonded Warm Fusion  a small amount of Keratin, is pre-attached or placed on the ends of a strand. The hair extension strands are then attached to small sections of your hair near the scalp by warming the keratin and forming a small bond with your hair. The  human hair extensions move naturally with your
    own hair. These hair  extensions last 3 – 4
    Micro Rings/Beads or Easy Loops




    














    Strand by strand, hair extensions  are inserted in the micro-bead using a threading needle. The hair extension is then inserted into the micro bead and tightened with pliers.
    Tiny silicone rings/beads are then looped onto the hair and the I tip hair extension strand and then the micro rings are clamped shut so they are secure.
    Micro Beads are safe for all hair textures from fine straight hair to thick coarse hair.
    Silicone beads are popular because they are gentle but still hold hair in place securely.
    There is no need to worry about slippage and they are comfortable to wear
    Wefts/Weave Hair Extensions



     Wefts are attached to you by sewing them to a tiny braid which runs horizontally around the back of your head. The tracks are done in the middle of your scalp underneath your hairline so that they are difficult to see.
    The front area of your own hair covers the hair extensions making the extensions invisible.
    Once the braids are done, the wefts are sewn to them and then your own hair is blended with and combed over the extensions.
    This process is more suited for those with normal thickness to thick hair types. Every 4-5 weeks the weft needs to be tighted. This is a simple
    Brazilain Knot

    The Hair extensions are applied strand by strand with a special thread technique. This creates the versatility of a fusion technique without using potentially harmful substances on your hair such as keratin glue.

    These method will last (depending on the growth of your hair) between 3 to 4 months.
    This process is more suited for those with normal thickness to thick hair types.

    Temporary Hair Extensions
    HH Extensions   temporary hair extensions ,are excelente for those  want  easy way to apply the hair extensions at home for day by day or especial ocasions.
    Clip-In hair extensions —affordable, easily removed can be a great alternative to growing your hair out. Not everyone wants to spend the time or money to have them professionally glued or sewed in, so temporary clip-in extensions are a great alternative. But how do you get them to look professional, natural, you have to get human hair extensions close to your hair color.Be a master of disguise. Fine-haired ladies like myself need to be more careful that the top of the extension doesn't peek through our natural hair. Teasing the section of hair just above the clip and just below it will provide the necessary coverage and also give you some extra hold.
