Not all hair extensions are created equal—choosing the right one depends on your goals, lifestyle, and hair type. At HairPlaceNYC, our expert guide helps you understand the differences between tape-ins, clip-ins, and bonded extensions so you can make the best choice for your desired look.
Which Method Should I Get?
Which Method Should I Get?
The hair extension method you choose is partly based on why you are wearing them. For example, short-term wearers should buy extensions that accommodate the environment of their special occasion or event (i.e., humid island, sweaty night club, well-lit conference). For long-term wearers, it’s important to know if you desire the convenience of leaving it on or prefer taking it off more frequently.
Other factors include how much hair you want to add, how undetachable they feel to the touch and your experience with extensions. Some of the more common methods include hot fusion, cold fusion, weaves, micro links, strip bonds and clip-ons. A trained stylist can help you determine the best method.
Should I Get Human or Synthetic Hair?
Should I Get Human or Synthetic Hair?
We only use high quality human Remi hair. When choosing the right type of hair, you need to consider length, density (amount of hair), volume (distance from scalp), texture, color and tone. Hair extension textures come in straight and wavy (loose wave, body wave, deep wave).
When it comes to color, human hair can be altered to any color you desire. We recommend choosing hair extensions that are the lightest part of your existing hair color and add low-lites to match your desired color.
How Often Do I Change Extensions?
How Often Do I Change Extensions?
We recommended to service your extensions every 6 to 8 weeks as the hair grows and they become loose. Some clients prefer to change their extensions more often, while others go as long as possible to save time and money. The services you require depends on the method of application and how fast your hair grows.
Extensions require an experienced hair stylist with patience, and experience with various applications methods and removal for optimal and natural-looking results.
