If you’ve ever drooled over celebrities full AF, never-ending locks, chances are you’re getting hair envy over fake hair – hair extensions. They’re THE secret weapon in every hair stylist’s kit because you can transform a bob into mermaid hair in minutes.
There Are Permanent And Non-Permanent Extensions
Okay, so first things first, there are SO many different types of hair extensions to choose from. The right ones for you will depend on your hair, the final look you’re trying to achieve, and of course, your budget (they can get pretty pricey). But the most obvious difference is that some are permanent and have to be fitted by a stylist, whereas others you can style and fit yourself whenever the mood hits. Here’s a quick breakdown of each type of extension:
Permanent extensions
Weave: A hair stylist will tightly braid your hair in small cornrow strips, and then wefts (small pieces of hair) are woven into your hair using thread or they can be sewn onto a hair net, which is then glued to your scalp. Weaves usually take three hours to be fitted, and can cost anywhere between $200-$400, and should last up to four weeks.
Tapes: Leyla explained that tape-ins “attach to thick sections of your hair with double-sided tape and adhere to small sections of your hair close to the scalp.” Tape extensions need to be fitted by a stylist. Stylists suggest getting them refitted (the tape will be moved up nearer to the scalp) every eight weeks and replaced every six months. The first fitting can cost anywhere between $200-$600, and will take around three hours, depending on how many tape extensions you buy. The more pieces you buy, the fuller your mane will look but the longer the appointment will be.
