Everything You Wanted to Know

Hair extensions have dramatically improved over the years, offering both at-home clip-in options as well as professionally installed types.

Types of Hair Extensions

• Clip-ins: Pre-clipped strips that are easy to attach at home.
• Tape-ins: Pre-taped extensions that typically require a stylist’s application.
• Professional Hair Extensions: These include methods such as weaves, keratin extensions (where small strands are bonded with keratin-based glue), and I-tip extensions where a flattened microbead secures the hair.
