Hair Extensions: Which Technique Should You Choose?

Clip-in extensions

The easiest solution to install, you can do it yourself in no time.

Clip-in extensions are ideal for quickly and easily adding length and volume to your hair. Simply attach the clips to the roots of your hair by lifting sections, then cover them with the hair on top. Clip-ins are small barrettes with a silicone band for maximum hold and are invisible once installed.

Our 100% human REMY hair extensions, one pack contains 100 grams of Russian hair, 8 strips on clips with silicone designed to cover a full head.

Suitable for very fine to very thick hair.

Care: Clip-in extensions should be removed every night before going to sleep to preserve them longer and avoid friction on the scalp. Sleeping with clips in can cause alopecia, and you could risk losing hair where the clips rub!

Self-adhesive extensions (Adhesive strips)

The method is very simple and quick. This permanent technique is ideal for fine hair and can be applied in 1 hour by our professionals. The extensions are lightweight, reusable 3 to 4 times, and are completely invisible once installed. Adhesive strips offer the easiest permanent application to date.

Description: Tape-in ​​extensions are extensions with an adhesive strip. A thin strand of your hair is placed between two strips that are glued together, which makes the extensions adhere well and prevents water from entering to ensure maximum hold. It is necessary to do a good clarifying shampoo before installation, so that your hair is free of all oil and styling products.

Installation and Maintenance: It is important to never apply conditioner or oil to the roots of your hair, as this could cause your tape-ins to come loose. Wait at least 48 hours after installation to wash your hair to ensure maximum hold. Hair regrowth means that after a while, the extensions will fall and the installation must be raised. It is recommended every 6-8 weeks. They must be removed with a special remover. Dry by running your fingers through your hair in the open air without a hairdryer. Do not comb when wet.

Keratin

Keratin (Hot Fusion) extensions are individual strands with glue on the ends, which are fused with a hot iron onto a strand of hair. Pre-bonded hair extensions are one of the earliest techniques. The number of strands used depends on the desired volume, or if you simply want to create a balayage effect.

Application and Maintenance: A clarifying shampoo before application is also necessary to ensure that the application does not slip. Any oils or conditioners should be avoided at the roots. It is very important not to run a flat iron over the glue joints as this melts the joint and creates knots in the scalp.

A quantity between 75 and 200 strands may be necessary and it is normal to lose a few during the first few weeks.

Using a hot fusion iron is essential to ensure the correct heat is applied and the tip is properly fused. A special hair remover and the correct clips are required to remove the extensions. The application lasts 3-4 months; maintenance is required at your extensionist.

Weft

Weft extensions are a long strip of hair that can be cut to suit your needs.

• Transform them into clip-in extensions by simply sewing the clips (which we sell separately) onto the band. We can provide you with a pattern to guide you.
• Habit method . We make rows of horizontal beads at the roots of your hair, then we pass a thread through the beads. We then sew the weft strips onto the beads and the thread, which gives a very strong and completely invisible result. This method is newly available. This technique is the least visible when it is due to be lifted, after 2-3 months.
• Vogue pearls . A technique that consists of holding the weft without threads or braids. Ultra fast and strong.

Micro-Rings

Ball extensions are strand by strand (i-tips) that are inserted into a ring with a strand of your hair. Then we crush the ball with a plier to fix everything to your natural hair. It is a cold fusion technique that rests 3 to 4 times (note that our Russian hair is good for 1 year to 1 year and a half), provided you do the appropriate maintenance with shampoos without sulfate or paraben.

Ponytail

Ponytail extensions are specially designed to instantly add thickness to the length of a regular ponytail. Simply make a regular ponytail with your hair and insert the clip of your ponytail inside your elastic, twist the hair with a band of vellecro on it and voila!
