Are you considering hair extensions to add volume and or length to your hairstyle? To help you identify the best hair extension best fits your needs, here’s a quick rundown:
Which are the best hair extensions for you?
We want you to have the best hair extensions in Nanaimo for you. I am sure that like many who are considering hair extensions, your first point of call is to go to Google and search “best hair extensions,”. The resulting search is enough to put you off hair extensions, I am sure your search found that there is more than one type of hair extension, let alone which is the best. I would recommend first considering what type of hair extensions are best for your needs and budget. Many of the results you found were probably for clip-ins as these are most common (and usually cheapest), but that does not mean they are your only option—or even your best option.
Professional hair extensions:
- Clip-ins are pre-clipped strips of extensions that snap onto sections of your own hair right at the root. Usually, clip-ins tend to be the easiest to play around with at home and can be found at super-cheap prices. If you are uncomfortable, fitting them yourself your hair extension hairstylist can install them quickly, probably for a nominal charge. If this is the style for you, then amend your search to the best clip-in hair extensions.
- Tape-ins are pre-taped strips of extensions that are taped or glued along your roots. Although this can be done by yourself at home, the quality of the result will be influenced more by your skills than the hair extension. I would recommend consulting with a hairstylist and asking for a quote to install your tape-ins. Once again if this is your preferred route to hair extension revisit Google and search for the best tape-in hair extensions.
- Sew-ins, also known as weaves, are extensions are sewn to your own braided-up hair with a needle and thread by a stylist. With this style, please check that your hairstylist has the training to install your hair extensions.
- Keratin extensions are tiny strands of extensions that are professionally heated and bonded to your own hair with a keratin-based glue.
- I-tips are strands of extensions that are professionally crimped to strands of your own hair with a flattened microbead, without using any heat or glue.
For what it’s worth unless you’re looking to get your hair extensions professionally installed, you’ll probably be in the market for clip-in hair extensions or temporary hairpieces, like ponytail extensions, headband wigs, or clip-in bangs. But if you want your extensions to last longer and look realistic? Go for the professional-level tape-ins, keratin, or I-tip extensions, and opt for 100 percent human hair vs. synthetic hair. Initially, the investment will be more, the results will be much greater and last for a longer period of time.
Always check the qualifications of your hairstylist.
