Extension Types Explained

📎

Tape-In Extensions

The most popular method — tape-ins lay flat against the scalp, blend seamlessly, and can be reused 2-3 times with proper care. Ideal for medium to thick hair.

🪡

Sew-In / Weave

A protective style where extension wefts are sewn onto braided hair. Perfect for clients wanting dramatic volume and length with a low daily maintenance routine.

💫

I-Tip / Micro-Link

Individual strand extensions attached using small rings — no heat or glue required. Best for fine to medium hair looking for the most natural movement.

🔥

Flat-Tip / Keratin Bond

Heat-fused extensions using a keratin bond. Extremely durable and long-lasting. Ideal for thick hair clients who want extensions that move exactly like natural hair.

👑

Halo Extensions

A no-commitment extension option using an invisible wire. Great for occasional wear clients who want volume and length without a permanent installation.

✂️

Clip-In Extensions

Temporary extensions you can apply at home in minutes. Perfect for special occasions or clients experimenting with length before committing to a full install.

Extension Care 101

✓

Wash extensions 2-3 times per week with sulfate-free shampoo

✓

Always brush extensions from tips to roots using a loop brush

✓

Sleep in a silk or satin bonnet or braid your extensions before bed

✓

Avoid applying conditioner or product directly to the bonds or tapes

✓

Schedule maintenance appointments every 6-8 weeks for tape-ins

✓

Use heat protectant every single time you use any heat styling tool

✓

Keep extensions moisturized — dry extensions break and tangle

✓

Avoid chlorine and saltwater or thoroughly protect before swimming
