What are hair extensions and how do they work?

Whether your primary goal is to achieve longer hair, thicker hair, or a fusion of both, hair extensions can help you achieve your hair goals. Hair extensions are hairpieces that are integrated into the natural hair in order to add length and/or fullness. These types of hairpieces can come in either human or synthetic hair and are available in a wide range of different lengths, textures, colors, and styles. There are a few different types of hair extensions that are available on today’s hair-care market—view our short guide below on some of the most common hair extension formats.

CLIP-IN HAIR EXTENSIONS

A removable hair extension method you can take out anytime, clip-in hair extensions are designed to be attached to the natural hair by using a barrette-like fastening system. This type of hair extension is great for people who love a quick installation process but don’t want to commit to hair extensions for the long run. Most people who use clip-in hair extensions are able to install them on their own, however, you can always ask your stylist for help—especially when you might need a flawless finish for a special occasion.

TAPE-IN HAIR EXTENSIONS

Though they might take a little bit more time than clip-ins to apply, tape-in hair extensions are relatively fast to install compared to other semi-permanent hair extension styles. During their installation process, tape-in extensions are secured by sticky, adhesive glue. In the end, you get a lightweight result that lasts around six to eight weeks.

SEW-IN HAIR EXTENSIONS

At certain salons, you may hear them referred to as “sew-in hair extensions”, but at others, they might just be called “weaves”. Either way, both names describe the same type of hair extension application process. Instead of using substances like tape or clips to attach the extension to the natural hair, the hairpieces are sewn in using a needle and thread. Sew-in extensions can cause quite a bit of tension to the hair, so it’s primarily recommended for those with thick or textured hair.

MICRO-LINK HAIR EXTENSIONS

Unlike the previously mentioned hair extension types which consist of installing larger strips of hair, micro-link hair extensions use smaller wefts of hair that are attached with the help of a nano-bead. This nano-bead serves to hold the natural and extension hair together, in a discrete way that appears very natural looking.
