Hair extensions have become a must-have accessory thanks to numerous celebrity endorsements. And not to mention that the hair industry bombards us with TV and radio commercials, magazine and newspaper ads and eye-catching billboards. As a result, more and more women are using human hair extensions, and not only when going to weddings or other special occasions, but as their new hairstyle. The type of human hair extensions depends on many things such as:

• natural hair texture• length• color• skin tone• your lifestyle

So, if you plan to get extensions for the first time but have no idea which to choose, we'll take you through 5 different hair extensions types.

Clip In Hair Extensions – This Remy clip in hair extensions type is perfect because they can be attached and removed whenever you want. They are not permanent and are basically a quick fix if you want to change your hairstyle but have little time. They can be styled and maintained as natural hair (wash after each use and air dry) and if they are of high quality, you can reuse them numerous times for at least a year.

Skin Weft Human Hair Extensions – This Remy hair extensions type is literally sandwiched in between your natural hair. The pre-taped weft is taped between your hair and then sealed with flat iron. These

human hair extensions are very easy and quick to attach (around 30-45 minutes), lay perfectly flat and can be styled as own hair. However, they are not the best option if you have thick hair. They are best if used on thin and short hair.

Sew-In Remy Hair Extensions – this extensions type is perfect for Afro-textured hair. The natural hair is first braided and then the extensions are sew in with a needle and thread. These human hair extensions do not require heat, thus do not damage your natural hair.

I Tip Remy Hair Extensions – These human hair extensions are attached to your natural hair using the cold fusion method. It takes about 2-3 hours for the whole process since each strand is separately attached to the hair with a small cylinder. The cylinder is lined with silicone which protects natural hair. This Remy hair extensions type gives a very natural look and you will be able to style your hair anyway you like, whether a high ponytail or a side bun. However, to ensure your human hair extensions look flawless at all times, have them tighten up every 6-8 weeks

U Tip Human Hair Extensions – These Remy hair extensions are installed using hot fusion or keratin method, which is why it is best to have them attached or removed by a professional hairstylist only. The u-tips, pre bonded with keratin, are first softened with special toll and then attached to your natural hair and sealed or melted with a hot iron or other device. U-tip human hair extensions are also easily styled and maintained as long as you get quality and 100% Remy hair extensions.
