What Type Of Hair Extensions Should You Wear?

Clip-in hair extensions offer the least amount of fuss, hassle, or commitment. You can take them in and out at the end of each day and never have to wear them again if you don't want to. This is great for people who like to switch up styles and colors regularly.

In this process, individual clumps filled with strands of hair (referred to as I-tips) are attached to your head, using metal ring clamps or 'micro beads.' The metal clamps are preferable to glue, as they damage your hair less. This is great for people looking for a little bit of volume or highlights. However, it's not recommended for people with thick hair.

A combination of 'weave' technology without the braiding and micro-links, this technique involves lining up a row of micro-links and sewing a track of hair onto it. All of one's natural hair is still left out, making it a good fit for anyone whose hair is longer than several inches. It is great for all hair types as long as the wearer properly matches their hair type to the hair they are adding to their head.

For those really prepared to take the plunge, the full-head weave involves braiding one's entire head of hair into braids tightly against the scalp and sewing hair into the braids. None of the wearer's hair is left out. This technique isn't recommended for those with thin or fine hair.
