subject: Types Of 26 Inch Hair Extensions [print this page] If your hair needs a bit of sprucing up in order for you to look fabulous, why not use hair extensions? For extra length and thickness you can choose 26 inch hair extensions. Depending on the look you want to achieve, there are different kinds of extensions and attachment processes. In some cases you will only need to spend on the hair extensions themselves, and in other cases you will have to cover the cost of both extensions and application.
Here is a list describing types of 26 inch hair extensions and their application techniques to guide you in your purchase:
Weave: If the hair used for the extensions is 100 percent human, then it can be styled like natural hair, and can last for up to two months. These extensions are popular among those with ethnic hair, this method is carried out at a salon, where the natural hair is corn rowed with the extensions sewn into it.
Clip ins: 26 inch clip ins can be clipped in yourself and usually consist of one solid piece or several small pieces of hair. You can find them at different places and come in a variety of different colors and textures, to suit wavy, straight or curly hair. All you need to do is clip the wefts in between layers of your natural hair, as close to the scalp as possible. These are affordable extensions and very easy to use.
Braid fusion: these extensions are also popular among women with ethnic hair types, and the hair is incorporated into braids of natural hair until it ends and then the braiding is continued straight from the extensions to create more length and thickness. You probably need a professional to help you out.
Integration: Though not as common as other extension types, this is usually performed for those who have serious hair issues like hair loss from natural causes or from cancer treatments. This involves wearing a cap of hair extensions, placing it over the head and pulling the natural hair through to blend in with the synthetic hair.
Used for many different occasions such as parties, weddings, you need to first define your personal styling needs. If its a wedding, choose natural extensions that can be used for the day and then removed to prevent discomfort. If you need extensions in for longer, choose a less temporary method.
