There are many different options available when it comes to hair extensions and pros and cons to each depending on your hair type and the style you choose. Some hair extensions take a while to affix, some are heavy and some are expensive; but some are not and can add beautiful length, fullness and color to your hair!
There are different grades and types of hair extensions, from synthetic to human:
Clip-ins are instant, can last about a week and pretty inexpensive, with cost depending on quality and amount of hair.
Extensions that are weaved or sewn into your hair can be heavy and need to be securely anchored. So, these may not be the best extension type for those with hair on the thinner side. They can cost you a few hours in the salon, but they should last a few months. Actually monetary cost depends, once again, on quality and amount of hair.
There are tape-in extensions, which are basically aligned at the roots and glued into your hair. These might only take an hour and a half to install and they last about six to eight weeks, but they are not ideal for air dry styling.
Beaded row extensions are a little more expensive, but they require no adhesive. They are quick to install, easy on hair, great for adding fullness and can be utilized in long or short rows and to blend color.
Halos are blended into the crown of the head, can be worn as often as liked, are quick to install and can be long-lasting.
Microlink hair extensions are the most expensive, but they are very natural looking. Microlink hair extensions are attached with tiny silicone beads and clamped in place very close to the scalp. They might take four to six hours in the salon, but they should last about three to five months.
With so many different types and pricing options, hair extensions have become adaptable to more lifestyles than ever before. Consult with an experienced stylist at Swanky Salon to find out which is best for you!
