Growing out hair is a long process. And getting the desired length is even harder. Luckily for all those women who are struggling with this issue, the hair extensions are the perfect savior. Whether it is getting volume, length or the entirely new look of your hair, the hair extensions are exactly what you need. The different approaches and types of hair extensions make them extremely affordable and close to all those who are looking for a better hair look. If you are thinking about getting hair extensions, here is everything you need to know:

Clip-in

Clip-in hair extensions are a quick, easy and temporary solution for all those looking to make a noticeable difference with that hair. They are reusable and can be styled easy – whether you like ironed straight or curly hair. Clip-in extensions should be positioned right up the roots of your hair and hidden underneath it. Keeping them clean is very practical since you can wash them separately from your hair. 

Tape

The tape extensions are a bit different than the clip-ins. They involve bioadhesive tape that comes over and under your hair, like a sandwich. They can last from about 6-8 weeks. The care for the tape extensions is a little more complicated – you will need sulfate-free shampoo formula and no conditioner application on the roots. 

Keratin

Keratin hair extensions can last 3-4 months and they look most natural of all. Their application is pretty cool too – an ultrasound is used to turn the keratin into glue in a matter of seconds. This process does not damage the hair, it takes about two hours and is very convenient for all the regular women and sportswomen too.

Synthetic or natural?

Hair extensions that come from natural hair are much more convincing in their look and longer-lasting than the synthetic ones. Synthetic hair has some artificial shine and does not style well under heat, which cannot be said for the natural hair extensions.

When choosing the hair extensions for you, always pay attention to color and texture. It is best to look for a color that is closest to your hair color and the texture should match your type of hair as much as possible. The extensions should blend with the hair and be invisible, rather than separating your hair and making the entire hairstyle untidy and unprofessional. 

With this quick guide, you will know what to look and get.
