My Top Recommended Hair Extensions
Hair extensions are a great way to change your appearance, temporarily or permanently. They have been around for decades, and typically you get what you pay for — so if you’re looking for temporary extensions (that can last months), we recommend our budget picks below:
1. Sew-In Hair Extensions/Weave
Sew-in hair extensions are the most popular form of hair extensions. These can be worn with a weave or in a ponytail. The beauty of sew-in extensions is that they last up to 4 months without having to remove and reapply them.
They can be applied using a needle or hot glue gun. Either way, it’s important to be patient and take your time when applying these extensions so that you can achieve an even style and avoid damaging your own natural hair.
There are several different types of sew-in weaves available: Brazilian, Indian, Malaysian and Peruvian. Each of these types has its own unique characteristics and cost range. The best choice depends on your budget and hair type. For example, if you have thick curly hair then you’ll need Brazilian or Peruvian extensions because they are thicker than Indian or Malaysian extensions which are made from fine strands of straight hair.
2. Clip-in Hair Extensions
Clip-in hair extensions are the most popular type of hair extensions today. They are made from real human hair, which means they can be styled just like your own hair. Clip-ins can be used to add length or volume to your natural hair.
Clip-in extensions are made from real human hair that is heat-treated and then attached to a thin metal clip. The clips hold the extensions in place on your head until you remove them.
They are available in a variety of colors and lengths, including long, medium and short styles. You can also find them in many different textures, including straight, wavy and curly textures. In addition, there are clip-in extensions that have highlights or lowlights added to them so that they match your natural color exactly (or closely).
Anyone who wants to add length or volume to their natural locks without having to dye their hair or go through extensive procedures at a salon can use this type of extensions. They’re easy to use — just clip them on and go.
Tape-In Hair Extensions
As tape hair extensions are the perfect solution to a quick new ‘do, they come in handy if want to have sudden changes of hair, like when you need a complete look for a wedding or fancy dress party. It’s also ideal if you suffer from time-consuming styling issues due to your current hair type, when you want an instant change without having to visit the salon every week. With tape in extensions it is possible for anyone with any type of hair (long or short) and most styles and cuts to achieve the style they desire.
Tape hair extensions are a popular alternative to glue-on extensions as they do not require any heat or chemicals to apply. The tape is applied directly onto your own hair using the enclosed applicator then covered with plastic film. This prevents the glue from drying until you are ready to attach the extension.
These type of hair extension is made from 100% Indian Remy hair and are available in a variety of colors, lengths and textures. Tape hair extensions can be applied by yourself, or by your stylist.
