Hair extensions are a fantastic way to add length, volume, and thickness to your hair. With so many different types of hair extensions available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right ones. At Cynergy Color Bar, an EasiHair Pro Certified Salon, we specialize in two methods: tape-in and hand-tied extensions. Our experienced stylists can help you find the best type of hair extensions for your hair type and desired look.
Types of Hair Extensions
Tape-In Extensions
Tape-in extensions are a popular choice for their ease of application and natural look. They are applied using medical-grade adhesive tape and lay flat against the scalp, making them virtually undetectable.
Hand-Tied Extensions
Hand-tied extensions are custom-colored wefts sewn onto a row of small beads, built for longer-term length and volume.
Clip-In Extensions
Clip-in extensions are a temporary option that can be easily attached and removed at home. They are perfect for adding volume or length for special occasions.
Sew-In Extensions
Sew-in extensions, also known as weaves, are a more permanent option that involves braiding the natural hair and sewing the extensions onto the braids. We don’t offer sew-ins; our hand-tied method uses a beaded row instead of braids.
Choosing the Right Type
For fine or thin hair, tape-ins or lighter-weight hand-tied wefts are often the best hair extensions for thin hair. Weighing tape in vs hand tied extensions? Tape-ins are faster and lower-commitment, while hand-tied wefts suit longer-term length. Deciding on clip in vs tape in extensions? Clip-ins suit special occasions, and tape-ins stay in between appointments.
Caring for Your Hair Extensions
Proper care is essential for maintaining the health and longevity of your hair extensions. Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to avoid damaging the extensions. Avoid using excessive heat on the extensions, as this can cause them to dry out and become brittle. Move-up appointments every 6–8 weeks will also help to keep your extensions looking their best. With proper care, your extensions can last for several months, providing you with a beautiful, confidence-boosting hairstyle.
