What are the different ways of putting Extensions in?
-Clip-in
Extensions:
Extensions are on a clip. You part your hair in
sections and clip the extensions into back-combing (or other
methods of making them stay). You take extensions out at the end
of the night and re-apply when desired.
-The
Braided Method:
Small and tight corn rows are braided
horizontally with your own hair. Then Wefts of extension hair
are sewn into the braids. A lot of people complain that this
method HURTS the most because of how tight the corn rows need to
be.
-The
Nail Tipped/Glue Method:
This is a strand by strand method
where the extension hair has tips of glue on the end and the
glue is bonded to your natural hair with a heat gun. This method
can be damaging because of the heat that is used to apply the
extensions and in order to remove these extensions harsh
chemicals are used to break down the glue which is harmful to
your natural hair and the extensions.
-The
Flare Bead Method:
A long tube bead links your hair with the
extensions. There is no heat or chemicals used in this method.
But the Flare Beads are usually made of copper which will turn
green and erode over time.
-Micro-bead
Method:
Tiny beads that are threaded on the inside like a
screw are used to bond your hair with the extensions. The
threading prevents slippage. These beads are very small making
them easy to hide. There are no chemicals or heat used in this
method. The bead is put onto your natural hair, the extension
gets put through the bead and the bead is clamped shut to hold
the extensions in. To remove, the bead is simply clamped in the
opposite direction. The Microbeads are made of Aluminum which is
heat resistant and will not erode.
