Hair extensions are the quickest ways to increase the length of the hair quickly instead of waiting for the growth of hair for months
. The extensions can be clipped with the hair and are available in the form of synthetic as well as human hair. The hair extensions can range from short to long and thin to thick extensions. Some extensions having hair highlights are also available and those look very beautiful. Another latest hair extension named universal hair extension offers the opportunity to use different hair appliances to give a wavy or straight look to the hair.
Wefted hair and bulk hair extensions are also used widely. Wefted hair extensions are held together with the help of a fine thread and these are available in two forms that are machine wefted and hand tied. Hand-made products are more expensive as compared to machine made products. Those extensions which are loose and without weft are called bulk hair. Another method of attaching hair extensions is track extensions in which hair extensions are stitched with weaving threads. The hair tracks go close to the scalp and sometimes place stress on the scalp. Skills are required for this technique that results in great looking hair.
Another technique called cornrow tracking is used for weaving the hair in which braids are used to form tracks. Through this technique hair are merged without use of glues or threads. Invisible braids are a good option for those who want to protect their hair from chemicals. The braids need to be redone after some time that is problematic. Strand bonding technique is used to increase the length of the hair and the hair are attached with the help of specially manufactured adhesives. Some hair are available that are pre-glued while people can also apply glue by themselves. The strand bonded extensions can last for 4 to 6 months approximately. Hair can also be attached with the help of clamping tubes. Another new technique of attaching the hair is called skin weft hair extension. By this technique hair can be reused and can be removed easily as well. The hair bonding adhesives include liquid head bonding and thermal head bonding etc.
