Clip in Hair Extensions vs Hair wefts. The differences and advantages
Clip in Hair Extensions vs One piece Hair wefts and Hair pieces
What are the differences between clip on hair extensions and one piece clip in hair pieces? Which are better? We explain all for you!
Clip in Hair Extensions – what are they and how do they work?
Hair extensions are an easy way of making hair longer and thicker by attaching human hair (obtained by companies often from women in India or Russia) or synthetic fibre to natural hair using one of a number of methods.
Very few celebrities we see who have long, thick hair are lucky enough to be blessed with natural hair in that state. Many have bonded real- hair extensions, glued or bonded in using heat guns by professionals. Experts can apply extensions so that joins can rarely be seen, and colours blended so very rarely can the client’s real hair be distinguished from the added hair. The cost of a full-head of real hair extensions can be upwards of £600 (and often take over 4 hours to apply) and these need replacing (to maintain their condition) at least every 3-4 months.
It is the prohibitive costs of these professionally applied extensions that has opened the market for clip-in hair extensions. These can be made of real hair or synthetic hair and come in all shades of colours so that you can mix and match with your own hair.
The width and length of the extensions can also vary so that you can choose the placing of the pieces on your own head. Each extension piece (ranging from 5cm wide to 15 cm wide has a clip attached which you can use to clip into your own hair.
Packs of “full head clip in hair extensions” will contain a selection of pieces of different widths that you can use individually or all together- depending on what effect/thickness you wish to achieve.
One piece Hair wefts- how do they work?
Hair wefts have been popular in the afro-caribbean market for a long time and are often sewn into one’s own hair for a semi-permanent effect, similar to glued hair extensions.
Clip in hair pieces and hair wefts are a temporary version of these traditional wefts and allow users to clip in easily to their own hair when length or extra thickness is needed. As opposed to hair extensions which come in small separate pieces, a hair weft is almost like a half-wig which clips from one side of the head all the way to the other. Attached to the head, underneath the top layer of hair, using a number of clips it creates a fuller effect than clip in hair extensions.
Hair wefts can come in different lengths, curly, wavy or straight styles and in different colours to match your own tone.
Clip in Hair Extensions or Hair wefts?
Both are great, easy ways of adding length to your own hair.
Clip in extensions give you the option of adding contrasting colour and highlights to your hair as well. You could experiment with different colour sets and create modern hair trends without having to dye your own hair.
Clip on extensions, although great for colour and length do not tend to have a great effect in terms of thickening hair, just because it would take quite a few packs, and a lot more time in attaching the pieces. Hair wefts, however, are fantastic for adding instant volume in a few simple clicks.
How are extensions and wefts attached?
Many wig retailers give free advice and instructions with all their products. There are also videos on YouTube which can show you step-by-step how to achieve your desired effect. Our own instructional video can be viewed here

What Are The Pros And Cons Of Hair Extensions?
Article by suzlar
The most lusted after celebrity hair style of the moment is Cheryl Cole’s long and lusciously thick locks. Hair like Cheryl’s is so popular because it is versatile, glamorous and signifies health and vitality. It has been well-documented that Cheryl received a little help in the form of real hair extensions in creating her glorious barnet, but it is not only celebrities who can achieve red carpet-worthy hair. More and more ‘normal’ people like you and me and turning to hair extensions as a way of achieving instant glamour and length and loving the results.
Growing and maintaining a long hair style can take up a considerable amount of time, and for some the wait is too much to bear. Therefore, hair extensions are the solution to the long hair most of us have been dreaming of. Some people find that their hair just doesn’t grow as fast as other people’s does or that it stops growing when it reaches a certain point. This can be very frustrating for someone who craves lovely long locks. Long hair is known for its versatility and hair extensions mean that you can experiment with lots of different styles without being restricted by the length of your hair. You can reinvent your style with the perfect accessory: beautiful hair. If you do decide that long hair isn’t for you can remove the extensions or have them trimmed so that they suit you perfectly and you won’t have to go through the pain of cutting the hair that you have so patiently grown.
Hair extensions are not always all about extra length. Some people have extensions put in as a way of creating thickness and volume to thin or limp hair. Extensions can also be a good solution to thinning hair. Good quality hair extensions will always match your hair colour perfectly so that no-one except you will know that your flowing locks aren’t all your own. You can also experiment with colour and highlights as a way of reinventing your look with extensions.
If you choose to have high quality extensions fitted then you will be able to treat them as you would your own hair. You can style it with heat appliances and wash it the same way that you would normally. You will need to visit the salon for maintenance check ups every 6 to 8 weeks though in case adjustments need to be made.
On the other hand, the initial process of applying hair extensions can be very lengthy. Although it will not hurt if done properly, it is very time-consuming. The duration taken to apply the extensions depends on the length, fullness and the method of application. In some cases we could be talking 8 to 9 hours sat at the salon.
The biggest obstacle standing between you and the hair of your dreams is the cost. It is not worth scrimping on the hair quality as you will not be pleased with the results and it will look cheap. If you want your extensions to look as natural and beautiful as possible you need to invest in some top quality hair. This costs a lot more but in my opinion it is worth the cost. The cost will also depend on the length and volume of the hair extension and on the stylist you choose for getting them applied.
Another major drawback is the potential damage that you could be doing to your real hair. Some people get away without suffering any damage at all but others may react differently to hair extensions. You may be one of the lucky ones but if you are contemplating hair extensions then you need to be aware of the potential damage they could do to you. Since the hair is attached using thermal heat, braiding or glue it can damage the hair root or strand. The glues, chemicals and heat can break, split or burn the hair strands, while the tight knots and braiding technique of a weave can even pull your hair out of the root or cause your scalp excess stress.
If you do make the decision to get hair extensions then make sure you are dealing with a fully qualified technician. You should make sure that the hair that is being applied is not too heavy so as not to put any unnecessary pressure on your scalp or your own hair. If you are not sure about making the commitment to having hair extensions properly fixed in then try clip in hair extensions. These extensions can be removed and clipped in whenever you need some instant glamour. They do no damage whatsoever and are completely safe. Whatever you choose, make sure that you are fully clued up on your decision before you go ahead with any procedures.

Will My Short Hair Stop Me From Having Hair Extensions?
Article by suzlar
Nowadays, celebrities often change their hair from short to long all in the space of a red carpet appearance. Now unless they are using some sort of extremely powerful hair growth product you can be sure that they are using hair extensions! One day your favourite celeb will be spotted sporting a funky bob cut and the next they have long flowing locks, so how do they do it? The secret is hair extensions and they can be for everyone, not just celebs. However, if you have short hair you will need to carefully consider what type of extension is best for you as some methods are not suitable for short hair.
The biggest challenge when using hair extensions on short hair is that you need to ensure that the basic scalp hair is thick enough to conceal the hair extension attachments. This is especially important in the case of clip-on extensions. The main issue with extensions is that they must look natural in order to be worth undergoing the process. If the attachments are on show then it will become clear that the hair is fake and the whole thing will look tacky. Also, if your hair is short as well as being extremely fine or thinning it can be very hard for a stylist to attach the extensions and can cause further problems. Therefore it is important to undergo a thorough consultation prior to having extensions fitted so that these problems can be dealt with.
If your hair has been cut in a very short style, like a pixie cut for example then it may be hard to fit extensions as they may not look natural and the bonds may be visible. If you are thinking of getting hair extensions with short hair like this you will need to consult with a stylist as to whether it is possible or not.
Once you have had a consultation and the stylist has given you the go-ahead then when buying extensions you should make sure that the colour perfectly matches the colour of your natural hair. Even a small discrepancy in colour will look like you are wearing extensions and this will be made more prominent because of your short hair style.
Another important thing to consider when getting extensions with short hair is the length of the extensions. You should be careful to make sure that the length is suitable for your natural hair as long extensions can be quite heavy putting unnecessary strain on your own hair. This can cause damage to your natural hair, including breakage and even bald spots. The strain can also cause the finished look to look messy and fake. Therefore, if you are considering extensions with short hair then you should opt for shorter extensions.
The method of application is also very important with short hair. For slightly longer short styles you can try clip-in extensions or weaves. These methods suit hair that is slightly longer as the attachments can be hidden with the natural hair. However, if you only have an inch or two long hair then this will not be enough hair to cover the clips and weaves and it will be quite clear that you are wearing extensions. The best bet for shorter styles is to use either glue-in options or fusion hair extensions. The extension hair is placed very close to the scalp so is hidden well and with fusion extensions the extension hair is fused to the natural hair so there is nothing to be seen.

The Disadvantages Of Hair Extensions.
Article by suzlar
Lots of people rave about the benefits of hair extensions but you don’t very often hear about the disadvantages. If you are thinking about having hair extensions, it is important that you know both sides of the story before going ahead so here are a few of the disadvantages to be aware of.
Firstly, hair extensions are not for everyone so you need to seriously think about whether they will fit in to your lifestyle or not. The biggest disadvantage of hair extensions is the potential damage that they can do to your natural hair and scalp. Of course all hair extension companies claim that their methods and products do not damage the hair and in most cases this is true. However, all it takes is an inexperienced or careless stylist during the application or removal process to cause serious damage. Some professionals even claim that any application of adhesive or glue type products will cause damage to the hair.
You need to know that hair extensions don’t come cheap. If you decide to save money on the quality of the hair or the method used, you will eventually get what you pay for; your extensions will look cheap. However, at the same time spending a lot of money on high quality human hair will not always guarantee quality extensions even though it does tend to last longer. Extension hair does tens to matte and tangle after a few washes and the main problem is the quality of the hair.
You may think that hair extensions will make your life easier with regards to styling time, but this is not true. Most hair extension companies will advise you that you can treat your extensions just like your own hair and whilst this is true, you need to remember that long hair takes a lot more work! You will need to condition the ends on a regular basis to stop it drying out and you may need to use more hair products than you usually would. You need to consider that your new longer style will take longer to dry, longer to style and longer to brush or comb out the tangles. This is all part and parcel of living with long hair. If you were thinking you could just get up and go in the morning, think again! Longer hair requires extra work so you need to make sure you are prepared to maintain the hair if you are going to get extensions put in.
You need to be aware that your natural hair may fall out. This happens very rarely but if your hair is weak or damaged in any way then it may not be able to support the weight of the human hair. Your stylist should check this in your consultation and no good stylist should recommend extensions to someone with weak or damaged hair.
In some cases you may get neck strain or headaches. This is because you won’t be used to the extra weight of the human hair. This is more common if you have opted for braided sewn-extensions as these cause extra tension to the scalp if the braids are done too tightly.
Be aware that your extensions may fall out. Some shedding is normal but if your extensions start falling out after a few weeks there are several things that could be causing this situation. If the residue on the natural hair is not removed prior to applying the extensions then the residue can weaken the attachment site and cause the extensions to fall out. It also may be that too many extension hairs were attached to the natural hair and the natural hair couldn’t take the extra weight. Excessive loss of extensions may also be due to the type of products you are using on your hair. You need to ensure that you are using the recommended products. Each method of attachment, whether bonding, glue, wax or keratin based bonds, can be compromised by hair care products that break down the bonds.
Whilst hair extensions will open you up to a range of different hair extensions, you need to be aware that certain hair extension methods may impose limitations on styling your hair. For example, if the bonds are applied too close to the hair line, then they may be very visible when pulling your hair back in a pony tail. Also, some extensions may look great when the hair is lying flat but if a gust of wind blows it the thinner hair underneath will be exposed.
There is a great danger that you can become addicted to hair extensions. If you have worn them for several months you may feel quite flat once you’ve had them removed and may even think that your natural hair has thinned. In actual fact you have just grown accustomed to seeing yourself with thicker hair, that is all. Prolonged use of hair extensions may cause damage to the scalp and natural hair.

Make The Most Of Your Hair Extensions!
Article by suzlar
Hair extensions can look great if fitted properly and looked after well. They can transform your look and give you endless of styling opportunities in a matter of hours! Our hair is often our best accessory so it is important to look after it, the same goes with hair extensions.
Most people opt for human hair extensions instead of synthetic extensions as they look more natural and can be styled like your own hair. As the hair is real is will require the treatment as your natural hair but will need extra care when conditioning as the extension hair will not be attached to the scalp and therefore will not get the nutrients and oils that your natural does. This means you will have to pay extra attention when treating the ends of the hair in order to keep it soft and avoid breakages.
A common misconception is that hair extensions can cause damage to your natural hair and scalp. This only happens in very rare cases when a client opts for cheap quality extensions or if an inexperienced stylist fits them. One of the main reasons that people have problems with hair extensions is that they do not maintain them properly. For example, if the wrong products are used on the extensions this can cause the bond to weaken and the extensions to fall out or if the extensions are not kept tangle free this can result in unnecessary damage to your natural hair. If you take care of your extensions then they will not only last a lot longer, potentially up to 6 months, it will greatly reduce the risk of the extensions causing damage to your hair and scalp.
Looking after your hair extensions does not need to be a chore. A little extra care here and there could make all the difference to the lifespan of your hair. Firstly, always follow your hair stylist’s instructions and use the recommended products. Your stylist should provide you with a series of instructions on how best to care for your hair; make sure you follow them. Using the right products on your hair is the first step to maintaining your extensions.
As you will know from your natural hair, hair is at its most vulnerable when wet. Wet hair needs to be treated carefully and you should never sleep on wet hair as it can damage your extensions by breaking them. Do not leave hair in a wet towel or ponytail as this can prevent the hair from drying and cause the bonds to soften. You need to be careful with what you wash your hair with. Always opt for mild conditioners and shampoos and be sure not to apply conditioner at the attachment points, as this will cause the bonds to soften and fall off.
Don’t let your extensions get tangled. You need to brush your hair at least twice a day to prevent tangles. If your extensions get tangled in your natural hair then it could cause you to lose your extensions, so be careful! Brush and plait your hair before going to bed to prevent tangling overnight. Be careful when brushing, try and be as gentle as possible.
Human hair extensions can be styled as you would your own hair, this involves using heat appliances. However, you need to be careful when using these tools not to get the heat too close to the bond attachments. If your extensions aren’t human hair and are made from lower quality synthetic then in most cases you should not use a hair dryer or heated styling tools as this can damage the hair.
If you want to change the colour or style of your hair extensions then you should always go back to your hair extension stylist. Never attempt to dye your extensions or use chemical processes such as a perm at home. At home there is a chance that you will damage your extensions and the process could go wrong. Be on the safe side and always consult your stylist first.
If you follow these simple rules then you are sure to fall in love with your hair extensions and they will last you for the full 6 months! For more information on hair extensions visit the Inanch website.

Clip in hair extensions made of human hair are popular these days, because they can easily be styled – colored, teased, shampooed and conditioned without damaging them.

If this is the look that you want to achieve, make sure to use a curling iron with no clamps on the barrel, so that your hair will not get caught nor damaged. You can create a more natural, well blended look if you curl your hair after all the human hair extensions are applied. Doing so will hide the fact that you are wearing a clip in hair extension. There are many ways you can curl your hair – you can create large or small curls, or you can even curl your human hair extensions going outwards to revive the 50s look of movie vixens.
You can also try wearing your human hair extensions in an up-style, like a ponytail. You can easily do this by reversing the way you attach the lower clip in the hair pieces, so that the top part of the piece gets to the bottom when you tie your hair in a ponytail. Your natural hair and the clip in hair extension will blend naturally, giving you a smoother finish. Try gently combing back or teasing your natural hair to create a more voluminous look that can hide the clips better. Remember not to back comb the human hair extensions so as not to damage them.
Human hair extensions are a great must have fashion and beauty accessory that anyone can use. They make a great addition to your look and they instantly give you long beautiful hair which can be styled in many ways. Long straight silky hair, curly and voluminous locks and sexy up-styles such as ponytails are all easily achievable with good quality clip in hair extensions.

Some are synthetic and some are made of human hair. The natural hair of Caucasians is different from that of Asians or Afro-Caribbeans and you should choose an extension that will match your own hair.
They come in many varieties and can be pre-colored, pre-highlighted or pre-permed with curls or a body wave. Depending on how it was attached, you may need to have your hair extension re-done after 6 or 8 weeks, or it might last up to 4 months. Re-attaching will always be periodically necessary because our natural hair continues to grow, the bonding agent becomes loose, life happens, and you’ll need to re-adjust and refresh your hair’s appearance.
What are hair extensions? Hair extensions are hairpieces that can be attached to your natural hair or scalp; they enhance the thickness of your hair or the length. There are several kinds, but the most popular ones are. Strands, small clusters of about 30 pieces of hair. Wefts, slightly larger curtains of hair, joined at the top and free flowing at the ends. The best wefts are hand-made, not machine-made.. Braids and dreadlocks, which are pre-wound.
How are hair extensions attached?. Strands are woven, glued, or clipped to your natural hair. If they’re clipped, you can take them off easily any time. If they’re glued, various bonding agents may be used and care must be taken to protect your scalp and natural hair.. For wefts, your stylist will make a small corn row or weave in your natural hair, and sew the weft to this weave. This method uses no chemicals.. Braids are usually woven in with your own hair and again no chemicals are used.
What kind of hair extension would best suit me? That’s a very personal matter and should be decided between you and your stylist. There are extensions for every kind of hair, even thin and baby-fine hair. Your stylist will assess your hair type, discuss how you would like to look and whether it’s possible given your particular circumstances and hair status, and explain alternatives. When an extension is decided upon, she will personally customize it to match your hair, will attach it, explain how she’s doing it, and give you information on how to care for it.
How do I care for my hair extension?. Hair extensions can be shampooed, styled and brushed the same as your natural hair, but don’t try to alter their color. This should be professionally done.. The most important thing is to be gentle with it so as to preserve the bond attaching it.. Use a soft bristle brush and brush out tangles from the bottom ends up towards your head.. At night, to avoid matting, tie it up or braid it if it’s fairly long, and never sleep with wet or damp hair.. Avoid using any silicone-based products or conditioners on the extension where it is bonded to your natural hair, as this will make the extension slip off.
Does it hurt to get a hair extension? No, not when it’s properly done. In the first day or two it will feel a little heavy perhaps, and this added weight on your head may feel slightly uncomfortable until you get used to it. The process of attaching it should not hurt at all. If it does, something isn’t right. Sometimes if the cornrow method is being used, the weaving might be done too tightly, pulling too hard on your scalp. This can even cause headaches. But you should not accept this. The weaving doesn’t have to be so tight that it’s painful.
You may come across stories of how a person’s hair was broken, burned, or otherwise damaged by their hair extension. The odds are that this person had it done by an untrained stylist, or one with little experience.Hair extensions, as their name suggests, are sections of hair added to your own natural hair, giving it added volume and length, even changing its style. Hair Extensions can be real or synthetic. The most expensive and most natural looking extensions are made from human hair. Other alternatives are animal hair, treated human hair, and synthetic fibers.
Hair extensions are available in many different colors, textures, styles, and lengths. A skilled stylist can choose hair extensions that are virtually indistinguishable from your own hair. Extensions made from human hair can be styled after application. This enables wearers to have greater flexibility and naturalness in their daily style. Human Hair Extensions, on the other hand, is colored and styled before application and cannot be changed.
Hair extensions can be applied in a variety of ways depending on your needs and budget. For a fun, inexpensive, and temporary change of style, consider clip-on extensions. These are available at most department stores. Ponytail extensions are popular choices in clip-ons. Though clip-ons are generally not available in subtle color variations, they do come in all of the more common shades.
For a larger commitment in time and money, hair extensions can also be attached to hair by weaving, sewing, braiding, gluing, and tubing. Some of these methods can last from two to six months with proper application and maintenance. These methods should be performed in a salon. To determine which method best suits your lifestyle and your hair, do your research and speak to a qualified professional. For the health of your natural hair, make sure the person applying the extensions is a licensed cosmetologist.
