Understanding Hair Extensions
What are the different kinds of Hair Extensions?
Hair extensions are simply synthetic or human hair that attaches to a person’s actual hair by what are called wefts. A weft is a collection of strands of hair that are sewn onto a very thin patch of cloth. Extensions make your hair longer and give you more styling options. Hairstylists use several different types of extensions, including sew-ins, tape-ins, bonded extensions, keratin bond extensions, real hair extensions, and keratin tip extensions.
​
​
Clip Extensions
Clip-in extensions are generally attached to the hair with silicone, although the clips may be made of another material. People who do their hair often use these kinds of extensions. They are easy to use as you simply clip them right onto your hair.
​
Although they are easy to use and less expensive, it is always a good idea to have a professional from Danny Jelaca Salon put them in for you if you want to look your best. It takes a trained eye to configure these clips perfectly. Clip extensions are less damaging than other extensions because they use no chemicals and are easily removed. They are best for a hairstyle you want to have for a night out or special occasions.
​
​
Tape-in Hair Extensions
Tape extensions are attached to the root of the hair. Tape-in hair extensions are attached on either side with tape or glue, and a heat tool is used. It would be extremely difficult for a person to put in this type of extension themselves. A trained extension specialist can attach tape extensions to your hair, making them look beautiful and natural.
​
You should be aware that these tape extensions will also have to be removed by a professional using a heat gun. Hairstylists can ensure minimal damage during the process.
​
​
Microlink Hair Extensions
Microlink extensions are put in by attaching small wefts of the extension hair to your hair with tiny silicone beads. An extension specialist will use a tool to tighten the weft to your hair.
​
Putting in Microlink extensions is a highly intricate process that takes two to three hours. Not only do you need a professional to put them in, but they should be as talented as the stylists that you will find at our salon. These extensions can damage the natural hair if they are not installed and removed perfectly. Microlink hair extensions are versatile and flexible. They differ from other extensions as the Microlink hair extensions do not require heat, glue, or chemicals. This makes this option softer on the hair. The beads or loops used in Microlink extensions are very lightweight for any hair extension. This type of hair extension is customizable to the client’s desired color and length, making it a personalized option.
​
​
Weave or Sew in Hair Extensions
When a person gets a weave, the hair must first be braided into cornrows. The hair extension will then be sewn into the hair with a needle and thread. This is not recommended for thin or fine hair, as the hair extensions can be rather heavy.
​
It takes several hours to weave, and a skilled, steady hand is needed to make it look natural. However, the results can be beautiful when the hair is matched perfectly. A weave is permanent and will grow naturally with your hair.​​​​​​​
Natural Versus Synthetic Hair Extensions
Hair extensions can be made from both natural and synthetic hair. Each type of extension has advantages and disadvantages.
​
​
Human Hair Extensions
Human hair extensions are natural-looking and very soft to the touch. Hair extensions move with your hair and will not weigh it down.
​
Depending on the type of hair extension you get, wefts made of natural hair can last for years. You can style this kind of hair any way you want, and you can color it just like your own hair. The hair's texture should be easy to match your own. People with very different hair textures sell their hair to extension makers.
​
You will have way less tangling with Human Hair than with Synthetic Hair Extensions, as the cuticle will all go in the same direction. Natural hair needs to be maintained just like your own hair. Any one of our trained professional hairstylists can help you maintain a beautiful-looking style while you have your extensions in and after they are taken out.
​
​
Synthetic Hair Extensions
Synthetic hair extensions are a less expensive option than real hair. They are generally created from nylon. They are made in a factory and baked into a certain texture, such as curly or wavy.
​
The best thing about synthetic hair extensions is that they will retain their look. You can wash the hair extensions many times and go out in every kind of weather, and they will not go flat. You cannot change the style or color of synthetic extensions. If you try to use a curling iron on them, you will destroy them. They only last a few months, and they are not as natural-looking as real hair.
​
​
Keratin Extensions
Keratin extensions are often human hair. You may think that keratin hair extensions are a new type of hair extension. However, they are not new to the scene, even in Coral Gables.
​
Keratin extensions are bonded extensions. They are a type of hair extension that you need to have fitted in a salon. Keratin is a protein found in human hair. When applied to the hair, they create a seamless, natural look. The stylist uses a keratin-based adhesive to attach the extensions in rows. By placing them in small sections using heated keratin bonds, the extensions melt in. By attaching them in this way, they are long-lasting, secure, and allow for freedom of movement and versatility in styling.
​
Keratin hair extensions add length and volume to natural hair. They make a good choice for those looking to enhance their hairstyle. Keratin hair extensions can last several months, making them a popular semi-permanent hair extension option. If you’re looking for a hair extension that will be durable and semi-permanent, then keratin extensions are a good option when visiting a salon.
​
​
What kind of extension is right for you?
The perfect extensions for you will depend upon your hair, budget, and the look you want. You might also want to consider how long you are planning to wear them.
​
When you come into the hair extensions salon for your appointment at Danny Jelaca Salon, your stylist will go over each option with you. They will make recommendations and explain why they feel they are the best choice, but the ultimate decision will be yours.
​
Having beautiful hair can make you feel more confident. Hair extensions will give you more ways to express your fabulous style. Give us a call and schedule your hair extension consultation appointment today.
Preparing for Your Hair Extensions Consultation and Appointment
​​
Getting ready for your hair extension appointment involves understanding the consultation process and the aftercare needed to ensure the longevity of your extensions.
​
​
Consultation Process
Before making any decisions, scheduling a consultation is crucial. During this meeting, a stylist assesses hair type, discusses desired outcomes, and evaluates which extension type best suits the client, such as tape-ins or sew-ins. They may also perform a patch test to avoid allergic reactions.
​
​
Questions to Ask:
​
-
What extension type suits my lifestyle?
​
-
How often should I follow up with appointments?
​
-
What are the expected costs?
​
-
Will your recommended type of hair extensions damage my hair?
​
​
Bringing in photos of your desired look can help convey your vision. Make sure you understand the commitment of time and money involved.
Caring For Your Extensions
Aftercare for Longevity
​
Proper maintenance significantly extends the life of hair extensions. After installation, it’s essential to use the recommended products. A gentle, sulfate-free shampoo helps maintain both hair and extensions.
Key Tips:
​
-
Regularly brush to avoid tangling, using a soft-bristle brush.
​
-
Avoid excessive heat styling; if necessary, apply a heat protectant.
​
-
Sleep with your hair in a loose braid to minimize tension.
​
​
Extending the time between replacements requires careful adherence to these aftercare routines. Extensions like tape-ins require more care, as improper washing or brushing can cause slippage. These practices support a longer-lasting, visually appealing result.
Styling and Living with Extensions
Proper styling and care are crucial for maintaining the longevity and appearance of hair extensions. Regular maintenance helps prevent damage and ensures natural-looking results.
​
​
Daily Care Tips
You should begin with brushing using a wide-tooth comb to avoid tangles. It’s important not to yank the hair as it can lead to shedding. When washing, use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to maintain hair moisture.
​
It can be important not to leave extensions wet for too long. In leaving extensions wet, excess moisture can weaken bonds or cause matting. After washing, gently pat them dry with a towel instead of rubbing.
You may prefer using heat styling tools. If so, heat protectants should always be applied, and tools should be set to a low temperature to prevent damage.
​
​
Managing Hair Health
Natural hair and extensions need a proper moisture balance. Hydrating masks, applied every two weeks, can help. Such treatments reduce wear on extensions for up to eight weeks.
​
To avoid excessive tension on the scalp, we recommend clip-in hair extensions. They offer flexibility and can be removed before bed. This reduces strain and allows natural hair to breathe.
​
Breakage can occur if extensions are too tight. Regular consultation with a hair professional can ensure they are fitted correctly. Always prioritize comfort to maintain healthy hair growth.
