Clip In Extensions or a Weave?

A change of hairstyle is usually enough to make you look much more sophisticated, younger or just completely different.

Clip In Hair Extensions

Hair extensions are becoming an increasingly popular method of instantly getting that long beautiful hair a number of us will simply dream of! Growing your hair long takes 5-6 years at an average of 1 cm per month! Hair extensions can offer you around 21 inches of thick hair in only a number of hours!

There are 2 main types of clip in hair extensions. Hair extensions are often made out of artificial fibers and are called artificial hair extensions or out of human hair and known as human hair extensions. Human hair extensions tend to be the preferred type of cheap hair extensions because they appear and feel a lot more natural then the artificial kind. Also, heat cannot be applied to most synthetic fibers, causing some inconvenience if an individual must use certain hair appliances. The draw back of human hair extensions is that they are usually way more expensive then the artificial ones! Notwithstanding, there’s no set price for human hair extensions because the price differs depending on the brand, type and length of extensions required. Clip In hair extensions that are un-treated and un-colored usually cost way more since they are a lot more durable and last longer!

Hair Weaves

A quick change of hair-style usually is enough to make you look much more refined, fun or simply different. Hair weaves are a great plan for those who fancy some braids, dreadlocks or simply a fuller head of hair and a special look!
Hair weaves are another type of hair extensions and may also be created out of synthetic or natural hair. There are three varieties of hair weaves:

Bonded Hair Weave – this is often the least durable type of hair weave and only lasts one month till it might need to get replaced. This kind of hair weave is glued to the scalp

Braided Hair Weave – this can be a 2 step procedure. The natural hair is braided along the middle of the scalp (beneath your hair) and then the hair weave is sewn in the braids. This kind of hair weave typically lasts around two months.

Fusion Hair Weave – this can be the best lasting type of hair weave, since it only needs to be changed after three months. This procedure includes waxing the hair weave to the natural hair.

Both clip in hair extensions and hair weaves require a lot of care. The hair will have to be treated with tender care in addition to washed and conditioned daily with a quality conditioner. Remember, that whereas natural hair gets the mandatory oil and moisture from your scalp, clip in hair extensions and hair weaves don’t! Also, depending upon the design and application technique of your clip in hair extensions/hair weaves, you may even have to go to the hairdresser about every 6 weeks or so to fix your clip in hair extensions thanks to your natural hair re-growth!

Whichever type of you decide on, it’s a good idea to consult your hair specialist for recommendations, and to pick the safest procedure. Finally, love your stunning new hair!
