Understanding Hair Extension Types

hair17There are various types of hair extensions available in the market. They are generally made up of human or synthetic hair. To preserve the natural shine and look of the hair, make sure to take care of them in the best way. Hair extensions exist in various forms. Read on to understand the different types of permanent and temporary extensions to suit your hair styling needs.

Wefted Extensions

Machine wefted extensions are the extensions sewn or wefted to make a bundle of hair. With the help of a triple-head sewing machine, loose or bulk hair are used to strengthen a stitch close to the root of the every strand. The hair is then wrapped over with stitches to create wefted extensions. This form of extensions can also be used as a platform to create range of clip-in extensions.
In hand-wefted hair extensions, each strand is bonded manually to create a weft. Such form of extension creates strong weft that looks thinner in comparison to machine wefted extensions. They are available in pure collection and can be used as permanent human hair extensions or clip in hair extensions.

Fusion Hair Extensions

Fusion means a technique of bonding used along with each hair strand. A special hot device helps to smooth a pre-bonded keratin tip and permit it to fuse to a part of your own hair. This form of extensions are permanent in nature due to its long lasting effects. They can be removed and reapplied every 2-3 months.
The most common type of fusion hair extensions makes best use of nail tip or flat tips to hold the strand to natural hair without using any tubes, links or clips. Another technique is shrinkable tubing in which i-tip fusion extensions are installed with the help of a heat-sensitive tube. The i-tip needs to be inserted into the heat-sensitive tube with every hair strand. With the help of specialized hot device, most of the celebrity hair stylist apply heat to the bonding area that helps to soften the keratin and contract the tube, thus leading to secure the extensions with your own hair.

Clip in Hair Extensions

If you are not interested for permanent extensions then clip in hair extensions gives a versatile option to create permanent extensions or fusion hair extensions. You can choose from variety of colors and textures in an innovative way. Most of these types of extensions are made from remy hair. Remy hair is a type of hair with cuticle running in one direction from root to tip. This gives more hair styling opportunities than other form of extensions as non remy gets tangled easily with time and need frequent replacement.
