Hair extensions have now become a staple accessory
in the beauty industry owing to their versatility and styling ability. If you
want long and thick hair quick, hair extensions are the answer. Women are going
gaga over this technique, and it is because of this popularity that innovations
are making hair extensions easier to install each time. Here are three most
common types of hair extensions in the UK.
Type
#1: Clip in hair extensions
Clip in hair extensions is the most commonly used
and the most popular kind of hair extensions. They serve the “emergency”
purpose – a next-day event where you want to look fabulous, or a two-three-day
event where you want long hair. They are easy to install and doable by self. You
don’t need to visit a salon. They last typically for a day or two.
Type
#2: Micro loops
Micro-loops hair extensions are gaining popularity because they do not damage
the scalp and the hair. They are by far the safest technique available for a
long-term hair extension solution. These extensions contain a copper loop at
one end which is fastened to the hair strands to install. There is no heat or
glue involved anywhere which is what makes this method safe.
Type
#3: Nail tips
Nail tip hair extensions contain strands of hair
that are glued at one end which makes it look like the tip of a nail. They can
be installed by melting the keratin glue which is present on the tip. Since
there is heat involved in the process, professional hands are required to carry
it out. These extensions last long and look natural.
