How many types of hair extensions are there?

There are loads of different types of hair extensions available, so you are guaranteed to find an option that suits your requirements.

One of the most important things to consider when deciding on which hair extensions to get is how long you want to keep them in for. If you’d just like to add to your hair on special occasions, or on those days when you feel like you need a little boost, you can opt for temporary hair extensions which can be worn daily or weekly.

Semi-permanent hair extensions are ideal for girls who would like to keep their extensions in for 6 to 8 weeks without removing them, while permanent hair extensions are the best choice if you would like to keep them in for months at a time.

The sections of hair become smaller depending on which of these options you choose, although by purchasing great quality hair extensions you can ensure that any of these types of hair extensions will look completely natural while you are wearing them. Temporary hair extensions include clip-ins and hair pieces, semi-permanent options are smaller sections of hair and are often tape extensions, whereas permanent extensions are applied strand by stand, often using micro link, micro rings or micro beads.

Are natural hair extensions best?

To put it simply, yes they are. Natural hair extensions are far more convincing than cheaper, synthetic examples which often don’t sit right with natural hair and only come in one tone.

When you choose natural hair extensions you are making an investment as the hair can be used multiple times, so always select the most expensive and high-quality hair that your budget will allow to ensure that you get the best option available to you.

One of the best things about natural hair extensions is that they come in a mix of natural tones rather than being a block of colour, meaning that they look completely natural and will complement your own hair. You’ll also find that they move with your hair just as you would expect, so you can swish your high quality hair extension locks with complete confidence.

How much are hair extensions?

The cost of your hair extensions will really depend on which ones you choose, and where you decide to purchase them from. As said before, you really don’t want to opt for cheap hair extensions as they will not last as long or look as good, and keep in mind that virgin hair extensions will last the longest, so always invest in these if you can.

What are the different types of hair extensions? 

We understand that all of the terminology can be quite confusing so we have compiled a description of each extension type we offer to ensure you order what you are looking for. We sell our human hair extensions by hair type, eg. Russian Hair, European Hair, Indian Hair, Peruvian hair and Eurasian hair. Within each hair type you can select which type of extension you would like or select "Other" and can write it into the notes box on the cart page if you cannot see it on the extension type list. Here are the main terminologies and their meanings. 

Weave Hairstyles
Weaves are created by using hair wefts which are also known as sew-ins. Your natural hair is corn-rowed on your head / scalp and the weft is sewn into your rows of hair. This is a semi - permanent type of hair extension that can last 6-8 weeks. Once taken out, they can be thoroughly cleaned and sewn back in. As The Real Human Hair Company offer the highest grade of human hair, you can expect your weave to last many years.
