The "best" choice of hair extension will depend on individual preferences, lifestyle, and hair type, as well as the desired length, volume, and texture. Be sure to consult your stylist to determine the best type of extension and method of install for your hair.
There are several types available in the market today, but here's a list of 5 of the most common types of hair extensions to give you some reference when doing your research.
1. Weave extensions: These are also known as sew-in extensions. At Ottalaus Salon we have two weave methods for install. One is the beaded weft method, which involves sewing wefts of hair around beads strategically placed on the natural hair in rows. Another method involves braiding the natural hair and sewing the extension onto the braids. They can last for several months and are a popular choice for many hair types.
2. Clip-in extensions: These are temporary hair extensions that can be clipped onto your natural hair. They are easy to apply and remove and are ideal for those who want to add volume and length to their hair for a special occasion.
3. Tape-in extensions: These are semi-permanent extensions that are applied using double-sided tape. They can last for several weeks and are a popular choice for those who want a natural-looking extension that is easy to maintain.
4. Fusion extensions: These involve fusing individual hair strands to the natural hair using heat or glue. They can last for several months and are a popular choice for those with fine hair.
5. Micro link extensions: These are also known as micro bead or nano-bead extensions and involve attaching individual hair strands to the natural hair using small metal or plastic beads. They can last for several months and are a popular choice for those who want a natural-looking extension that is also easy to maintain.
