All you want to know about Hair Extension

Hair extensions come in several different varieties. They are designed to use your own hair in order to attach other pieces of human, animal or synthetic hair so that your hair looks fuller, longer or has a different colour associated with it. Believe it or not, they make hair extensions that look like dreadlocks or that are purple, green, pink or black, among other colours. You can have a few strands put in your hair or have big wefts applied to your hair so that you look wonderful all the time with long luscious hair.

There are three kinds of hair extensions. The first is strand extensions. These are small strands of hair usually tied onto small bundles of your own hair so that, after several strands are attached, you have a lock of hair that is usually coloured some outrageous colour and that is mixed in with your regular hair. The strands are cut to fit in with your hairstyle and they last for several weeks or up to two months, depending on how well you take care of them. Eventually, they become untied from your regular hair and fall out. This type of hair extensions can also be glued into your hair, heat fused to your hair, clamped onto your hair with small metal tubes or affixed to your hair using waxes and polymers. Gain, they don’t last forever, regardless of the technique used to affix them to your head.
Another kind of hair extensions is the weft extension. These are wefts or long strings of hair attached along a line and which are sewn into the hair near the scalp of the hair. Several wefts are sewn into the hair so that your hair takes on the appearance of a layered look with long hair extensions mixing in with your regular hair. The trickiest part is matching the extension hair with your regular hair so it doesn’t look like you have two-toned hair. It takes several hours to sew in the extensions but the result looks really realistic and can be kept in the hair for several months.

In some ways, these hair extensions have as full a coverage as do wigs. Weft extensions can be made by hand or by machine, although the more expensive and better wefts are done by hand and sewn carefully together.

The last kind of extension is the clip-on extension. They come in tracts of hair that have small, flesh-toned clips on one end of them. You basically put the hair in sections or parts and tie the parted hair with a rubber binder. You then clip on the hair bit by bit until the entire tract is clipped onto the scalp. They make short tracts and long tracts of hair extensions so you can put them on various parts of the head. You can’t wear clip on extensions to bed because they can easily get messed up and even the best extensions don’t last forever because they can easily get tangled and must be replaced.
