Types of Hair Extensions
1. Tape-In Extensions: Tape-in extensions are a popular choice for their seamless blend and ease of application. They involve thin, pre-taped wefts that are sandwiched between sections of your natural hair. This method is comfortable, lightweight, and typically requires maintenance every 6-8 weeks. Tape-in extensions come in various lengths, from 14 inches to 24 inches, allowing for versatility in styling and achieving different looks.
2. Clip-In Extensions: Clip-in extensions are temporary extensions that you can attach and remove at home. They are versatile for adding volume and length for special occasions or everyday wear. Clip-ins offer flexibility as you can choose when to wear them and when to remove them. They come in different lengths, from shorter pieces for volume to longer pieces reaching up to 22 inches, catering to various styling preferences.
3. Fusion or Bonded Extensions: Bonded extensions use keratin bonds to attach small sections of hair extensions to your natural hair. They provide a natural look and feel, blending seamlessly with your hair. Bonded extensions require professional application and can last up to 4-6 months with proper care. They are available in lengths ranging from 16 inches to 22 inches, offering a range of options to achieve desired length and volume.
4. K-Tip Extensions: K-Tip extensions, also known as keratin tip or fusion extensions, involve individual strands of hair that have a small, keratin-based tip at one end. These tips are melted with a heat tool and bonded to small sections of your natural hair. K-Tip extensions provide a natural look and allow for flexible styling. They require professional application and can last up to 4-6 months with proper maintenance. K-Tip extensions are available in lengths from 18 inches to 24 inches, catering to clients looking for both length and volume enhancement.
5. Micro-Link or I-Tip Extensions: Micro-link extensions, also known as I-tip extensions, involve small, bead-like rings that are clamped to your natural hair and secured with the extension hair. They offer flexibility and are suitable for various hair types. Micro-link extensions are adjustable and can last 2-4 months before needing maintenance. They are available in lengths from 18 inches to 24 inches, providing options for both natural-looking extensions and dramatic length transformations.
6. Sew-In or Weave Extensions: Sew-in extensions involve braiding your natural hair into cornrows and sewing wefts of extensions onto the braids. This method provides long-lasting results and is ideal for thick or coarse hair textures. Sew-in extensions require professional installation and regular maintenance every 6-8 weeks. They are available in lengths ranging from 12 inches to 26 inches, catering to clients looking for substantial length and volume enhancements.
7. Hand-Tied Extensions: Hand-tied extensions are a method where wefts of hair are tied by hand onto a thin, seamless row of beads. This technique creates a natural look with minimal points of contact, allowing for lightweight and flexible wear. Hand-tied extensions are suitable for various hair textures and can last up to 6-8 weeks before needing adjustment.
8. Combline Extensions: Donia is proud to introduce Combline extensions to her repertoire, setting a new standard in hair-to-hair extension methods. Combline extensions use a unique adhesive to delicately attach to a few strands of your natural hair, creating a flawless blend that's virtually undetectable. These extensions minimize damage to your natural hair and are perfect for those with fine hair, offering volume and versatility without compromise. Combline extensions are available in lengths and styles tailored to enhance your natural beauty seamlessly.
