Hair Extension Installation and Use

Posted by gonakedhair on September 21st, 2018

100% virgin remy human hair extensions are rising in popularity because of the number of ways that they can be manipulated and the number of looks that they can create. Hair extensions can be purchased for a variety of reasons.

Extensions

There are many different kinds of extensions that can be installed and utilized. Clip in extensions are those that have a clip at the root. These allow the extensions to be installed by clipping them in at the root of the client's hair. There are also wefted extensions. Wefted extensions are also often called tracks. These have hair that is sewn together in one long line and can be sewn or glued at the root of the hair or onto braided hair. Recently, crochet extensions have risen in popularity. The most popular way of installing crochet extensions requires the client to have their hair braided in cornrows. Then the hair tied around the hair and secured with a rubber band or a knot. Crochet extensions are usually made from synthetic hair, rather than human hair.

Extensions for Hair Installation

Extensions that are installed directly onto the client's head may be used for a variety of reasons. Many people use extensions in order to have a longer hairstyle that they cannot achieve with their natural hair. Others may use the extensions in order to protect their hair. Styles that require the hair to be braided can be considered protective styles since the ends of the hair are all tucked away. Styles like this protect the natural hair because they require little to no manipulation of the natural hair.

Extensions for Wigs

Recently, many people have been making their own wigs using extensions. Most often, wefted extensions are used, but some use crochet extensions as well. People may choose to use their extensions for wigs as opposed to using them to install in their own heads because wigs allow the extensions to be taken off overnight or switched out from day to day. Usually, people prefer to use 100% virgin remy human hair extensions to make wigs. This is because human hair extensions are easier to maintain and last longer than synthetic extensions. Synthetic extensions can get tangled and even become matted when they have too much contact with fabric like clothing or the material on car seats. Combing out these tangles can also be difficult with synthetic hair because it can completely ruin the hair texture of the extension. It is much easier to comb through human hair extensions, they also retain their texture when they are combed through.
