The small guide to choosing the hair extensions you need
Beyond the fact that hair extensions are a trend, choosing the right type for you actually means researching your options and adapting them to your needs. Hair extensions are attractive, but not every type will suit you. Consider the attachment system, the level of comfort, and your actual goal when choosing them: do you want to emphasize length, add extra volume, or opt for a ponytail to help you create a different look?
Fortunately, you have come to the right place. At Belher, we offer options for you, provide expert advice, and in our salon you can also benefit from installation, assistance, and maintenance. We define the world of hair extensions so that every woman can take advantage of the options available to her.
Popular Hair Extension Options
Most often, those interested in hair extensions consider the different options based on the attachment system. This is because hair extensions can be worn long-term or not, can serve as hair accessories, be installed individually at home, or require an expert’s touch. Here are the options:
Clip-on – these are extensions attached with small clips that fasten at the base of the hair. A simple gesture allows you to put them on and take them off at any time. These are the ones you can apply yourself, without the help of a specialist. This aspect is considered highly important. At the same time, it should be noted that these are generally easy to wear for short periods, sometimes when you want a change, a more interesting hairstyle, or fuller hair.
Tape-on – these extensions use a special adhesive tape attachment system. Their installation requires a specialist’s intervention to ensure the extensions are as durable as intended. It is not recommended to apply them at home, as there is a risk of incorrect installation, which can affect their durability.
Flip-in – these are a type of hair extension that has recently appeared on the market. They are defined by their attachment system, using a thin wire that fits around the head and provides stability.
Sewn-in extensions – as the name suggests, these have a band at the base that is attached to natural hair by sewing. They can be worn long-term, but of course, they require specialized intervention to be sewn in properly.
Extensions with keratin – these hair extensions are installed at the base of the natural hair. They are permanent extensions, applied in the salon. They will need to be reinstalled as the wearer’s hair grows and differences in length become noticeable. They are especially recommended because they last longer, can be easily removed, and do not damage the hair strand. They were specifically designed to protect your hair.
Extensions with nanoring – the attachment system is different, using a very small, almost invisible clamp, secured for durability. It is 90% smaller than the microring system. Application is done in the salon. They are semi-permanent, durable, but require replacement or reattachment every 3 months. There is also the microring version, which uses the same principle.
In addition to these types of hair extensions, there are also ponytails, which are simply attached with a positioned clip and then secured with two side bands that join together to hold the ponytail in place on your natural hair.
Step by Step Towards the Right Choice for You
Besides the differences in attachment systems and, consequently, the durability of hair extensions as described above, it should be noted that those interested should also consider other aspects. Length and hair type are among the key factors.
The lengths available in our store range from 35 cm to 60 cm. Thus, even those with short hair can enjoy longer hair than ever before. As for hair type, natural hair is always recommended for the best appearance. You do not need to highlight the presence of hair extensions, and if they are well chosen and installed, they will blend perfectly with your own hair strands. 100% Remy hair, with intact cuticle and aligned hair direction, is what we offer at Belher.
The specialists at Belher can install and maintain any type of hair extensions. The technique is flawless every time, so that no one can notice the difference between your natural hair and the extensions. Moreover, proper maintenance will help you keep them in perfect condition for longer. At our location, clients can choose their extensions with specialized advice and have them professionally installed by the best technicians in the field.
After you have decided on all these details, you need to identify the right shade for you, and here again we offer a wide variety. From gray to ombre, classic brunette or blonde tones, and fancy combinations, you have plenty to choose from.
We offer collections of hair extensions that can provide you with extra volume, double or even triple. Choose what suits you and what you need to overcome the challenge of thin or short hair.
