Hair Extensions for Short Hair
Hair Extensions for Short Hair
Article by Erin
Waiting for your short hairstyle to grow out can be tedious and take forever but with extensions, you can have long, full locks, in no time! Depending on just how short your hairstyle is, depends on whether or not hair extensions will work for you. Your hair will need some length in order to hide the extensions, no matter which application you choose.
If your hair is really short, like a pixie cut, hiding hair extensions will be difficult. Hair needs to be long enough and thick enough to cover the extensions. Your best option for extensions for short hair are to wait until your hair is at least 4-5 inches long. Your hair type will also play a role in using hair extensions on short hair because if your hair is thin or you don’t have much of it, this will make it harder to conceal the extensions.
When selecting extensions for shorter styles you will also need to be particularly careful of the length of extensions you choose as longer extensions can cause strain on your hair as well as leave your overall hairstyle looking fake and messy. As it grows out longer hair extensions can be applied.
The best hair extensions for short hair would be skin weft tape in extensions. This type of hair extension is hand sewn onto a clear skin base and is then attached to a strong durable double-sided invisible adhesive tape. Because both the tape and skin base are clear, once applied to your hair, it appears to look as nothing more than just your scalp. This is also the best option if you have fine or thin hair since this hair type will have a much harder time concealing clips, beads or glued in extensions.
The application process can be done in as little as 30 minutes for a full head by sandwiching small sections of your own hair between the tape. Tape In Hair Extensions are the latest innovation that is an invisible, semi permanent method, lasting up to 4-6 weeks. They can also be reused and reapplied with new tape, saving you big money!
