Hair Extensions

About

Human hair extensions come in four formats, and picking the format matters far more than picking the hair. Wefts sewn into braids, clip-ins you take out at night, wigs that go on in one piece, and loose bulk hair for braids. Each asks a different amount of time, money and commitment from you. This page is where to work that out. The sets in the grid below are seamless clip-ins in 100% human hair; the other three formats have pages of their own, linked from the sections underneath. Which format suits you Sew-in wefts A weft is a curtain of hair sewn onto a seam and stitched into cornrows. Wefts give the most length and density for the money and stay in six to eight weeks, but they need a braid-down and usually a stylist. Three bundles cover a full head at 18 inches and under, four past 22. Start in virgin hair bundles and finish the part with a lace closure or a 13x4 frontal . Clip-ins Clip-ins go in in minutes and come out the same evening — no braiding, no thread, no adhesive. They are the lowest-commitment format and the only one that changes nothing about your own hair. The sets here are seamless: the hair is bonded to a thin polyurethane weft instead of a thick fabric one, so it lies flat and does not ridge under fine hair. Twenty shades in 16 and 20 inches, with 24 inches in two of them. The same sets sorted by shade sit in clip-in hair extensions . Wigs A wig is the whole install in one piece. Nothing is attached to your head, so it comes off at night, and your own hair stays braided underneath. It is the format for protective styling and for changing length or texture week to week.

Human bulk is what you buy for boho braids, knotless braids and crochet work that has to be curled, washed or flat ironed. See human braiding hair .
