Clip-in, tape-in, wefts, pre-bonding, fusion, micro-linking...what does it all mean? There are many different styles of hair extensions and terminology, and if you are new to the world of hair extensions, it can be overwhelming. Although SEAM Hair Extensions are 100% remy clip-in, hair extensions are not limited to this particular type. We are breaking down different types of extensions to help eliminate some confusion.
The following articles will provide clear information and help you make the best choice for your hair. So be comfortable, tie your hair back and let's get started.
What are they?
Clip-in hair extensions use a series of well-defined parts, which are fixed at the bottom with fabric or silicone. The clip is attached to this base and can be used at any time. All you have to do is clip these pieces to your natural hair yourself! Each clip can be easily opened and closed.
Clip-in hair extensions are the least permanent style of hair extensions because you can quickly remove them and put them back on when needed. Unlike some of the other hair extension applications mentioned above, the clip usually takes 5 to 15 minutes to be applied at home. Clip-in hair extensions are also the least destructive because they do not involve any chemicals, heat, pressure or other installation methods mentioned above-they just clip easily to your hair, so there is zero damage to your natural hair. This is one of the many reasons why it has become one of the most popular types of hair extensions.
Treatment
When dealing with clip-on hair extensions, the same synthesis and real hair rules apply as with any hair extension. We will pay more attention to human hair extension, because this is what we recommend.
In short, the maintenance cost of human hair extension is very low, it only needs to be cleaned every 15-20 times, or if the product piles up to an unmanageable level. Just like your natural hair, you only need to brush, shampoo and condition your hair, and then let them air dry! In terms of styling, the real hair clip in the hair extension can be styled like your own natural hair. They can curl, straighten and color, but it is best to use a lower heat setting when heat setting the hair, and use a heat protectant before heat setting.
How long do they last?
Again, it depends on how much you care about them, the products you use, and how often you wear them. If properly maintained and worn frequently, the service life of the clip varies from 6 to 12 months, up to a year, and sometimes even longer.
What are they?
The tape in the hair extension is exactly what they sound like. The hair extension is fixed in advance with tape, and then taped together on both sides of your own hair. Usually, the hairdresser will use tape for you because you need to align them with the roots and use a heating tool to heat the glue. In addition, you need to remove them (using glue remover) and reinstall them. Naturally, when you heat the roots and any adhesive products (such as tape or glue), this can damage your hair. This process usually takes about 40 minutes to 1 hour to apply. If the extension is in good condition, it can be reused.
Treatment
When using tape for hair extensions, you must be very careful when using conditioners or hair care products, as this will cause the tape to loosen or slip off. This is a very common problem with tape insertion, where the hair just slips off. Therefore, hairdressers usually recommend that you use special shampoos or conditioners and less irritating and non-greasy styling products to ensure that the glue continues to stick to the hair. You can design them as you like, because they are made of human hair, but you need to pay attention to the roots where the glue or tape is located.
How long do they last?
Tape-in hair extensions are considered semi-permanent. Usually, they last for 4 to 8 weeks before you need to remove and reapply them. However, just like any other hair, it depends on how you take care of them and how fast your hair grows.
What are they?
Weaving is applied by first weaving natural hair into a cororow, and then sewing the braid into the braid or cornrow using needles and threads. Braided hair extensions are mainly used for people with thicker hair because of the way they are applied. Generally speaking, the application of knitting is a very long process (usually several hours.) The tight application method tends to put pressure on the scalp and will feel heavy or uncomfortable, which is why it is not suitable for thin and thin Or flimsy hair.
This method is applied by experienced hairdressers because it is a very technical and difficult application that needs to be sewn by professionals. This type of hair extension is very popular because it is the most durable and seamless, because the hair is actually sewn to your own hair and will not fall out.
Treatment
If you have knitting, you need to moisturize the scalp, nape and hair edges at least once a week, and make sure to use deep conditioning products. For people with braiding, another popular suggestion is to wash your hair with special protein products to minimize hair damage and weakness. In terms of styling, the same rules apply to real hair and synthetic hair-usually braids are real hair because of how long they stay on.
How long do they last?
It is recommended to remove weaving every 6 to 8 weeks, especially if you want to grow your own hair. The maximum time for fully braiding the hair should be 4 months, because this will affect the natural growth of the hair.
What are they?
Fusion hair extensions (also called bonded or pre-bonded) are fused to natural hair using different adhesives (such as glue). It takes about 3-4 hours to use pre-bonded hair extensions and is also used by hairdressers. Fusion extensions may not be suitable for all customers, because this type of application is very harmful to your natural hair, so your hairdresser may even advise against using this method. The application involves a machine that looks like a hot glue gun, which basically glues the hair to every strand of natural hair. Another type of pre-bonded hair extension application uses hot clips to melt glue onto natural hair.
Treatment
Fusion/pre-ponded application is managed and processed in the same way as your real hair. You can use the same products that you normally use, but as natural hair grows, hair extensions need to be repositioned every 2-3 months. In addition, since the glue contains many chemicals, this method can cause hair loss, breakage and scalp irritation.
How long do they last?
They are considered semi-permanent because they can stay in your hair for up to 4 months. However, as with all other types of hair extensions, it depends on your own hair type and growth.
What are they?
Microlink hair extension is also called micro bead hair extension or micro loop hair extension. These are applied by connecting tiny hair strands to a small part of natural hair with a small silicone lining bead. Then, use a special tool to fix the beads on the hair and tighten to hold it in place. Although this method does not use heat or glue, if it is not installed correctly by a professional, the micro-link hair extension may damage the hair. The beads may be tightened too tightly, causing pressure and pulling on the roots, and if not removed properly, the hair may be pulled out. This method takes approximately 2-4 hours to apply.
Treatment
You can wash them in the same way as natural hair and use the same styling products. Similar to fusion hair extensions, as natural hair grows and the microbeads move away from the scalp, micro-link hair needs to be repositioned every 2 to 3 months.
How long do they last?
Microlink delivery is considered semi-permanent and usually lasts up to 4 months.
