What are the Different Types of Hair Extensions?

/0 Comments/in /by

Let’s face it. Not all of us are born with long gorgeous hair. While this is an unfortunate fact of life, hair extensions can provide you with the additional length and volume you desire. As a versatile solution, hair extensions come in a wide variety of different lengths, colors, and styles. Aside from all these options, there are also various techniques to install them. That’s why the Boise hair salon stylists at unDONE would like to break down the different hair extension techniques in today’s blog.

Tape-In Extensions

Tape-in hair extensions are a popular method because they are easy and fast to put in. Tape-in extensions are secured to different sections of your hair with the help of tape. Your stylist will section off an area of your hair before sandwiching it with an extension with two pieces of tape. The best part? Tape-in extensions won’t damage your hair and can easily be applied at our salon. By far, they are one of the most comfortable extensions and look incredibly natural, and lay perfectly flat against your head. This really matters when you plan on wearing them every day for months at a time. Last but not least, tape-in extensions last approximately 4-8 weeks, depending on how well you take care of them.

Hand-Tied Extensions

Hand-tied hair extensions are another popular method used at unDONE. This technique is a relatively new way to lengthen your hair and add thickness for clients with thin hair. As in its name, each hair extension is hand-tied. However, the amount used will vary depending on the density of your natural hair and your ultimate hair goals. Once your hair is sectioned, beads will be placed in your hair, and a hand-tied weft will be installed for a stunning end result. The best part? They are light and won’t damage your hair while lasting approximately 6-9 weeks.

Microbead Extensions

Microbead hair extensions are attached to your natural hair using a tiny bead that is lined with silicone. These beads are open when being placed around the hair before being tightened to hold an extension in place. This method doesn’t require any glue or bonding and is one of the most popular hair extension methods. The best part? People won’t even notice you are wearing extensions. Even though the extra hair is fake, you will still achieve a natural, beautiful look. Also, because the extensions lie flat and seamless, your hair will be less of a hassle to style.

unDONE Salon Tips

Hair extensions are a great way to transform your look and extend the length of your hair. However, it’s essential to have them done correctly the first time around. At unDONE Salon, our Boise hair salon stylists are licensed hair professionals who have the experience and training to make sure your hair extensions are done right.

If you’re thinking about extending your length with Boise hair extensions but don’t know where to begin, ask your Boise hair salon stylist about what type, method, and style they would recommend.

Extend Your Lengths With Boise Hair Extensions!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

As we transition from summer to fall, it’s normal to change our schedules, clothes, etc. But what about our hair? Maybe you’ve been thinking about a new haircolor or style. Or perhaps you’ve been wanting to add some volume and length to your look. If that’s the case, you may want to consider Boise hair extensions.

At unDONE Salon, Boise hair extensions aren’t just for length. They can help add a spritz of color and volume while boosting short, limp or fine hair. If you’ve been wanting longer hair but are tired of trying to grow it out, Boise hair extensions can be braided, glued, woven or even clipped in to extend the length of your hair. So what’s the best choice for you? Consider the following points before visiting your Boise hair salon stylist.

Boise Hair Extensions – Options

While it may seem like a no brainer, it’s important to find the extension and application that works best depending on your hair and scalp.

To be a good candidate for Boise hair extensions, your hair must be at least three inches long. However, you’ll have more style options the longer your natural hair is. Either way, adding individual strands can provide you with a customized look that add different lengths, shades of color or highlights.

Keep in mind that it’s important to avoid extensions that are heavier than your own hair. Heavy extensions can ultimately damage or break your natural hair. When it comes to choices, Boise hair extensions can be synthetic or made from 100% human hair. While human hair typically costs more, our Boise hair salon stylists recommend it over synthetic. Natural, human hair will provide you with the most natural look and are easier to maintain. Synthetic extensions, on the other hand, cannot be heated or dyed which means no flat irons, blow dryers or haircolor changes.

unDONE can help you decide which option will work best for you and your budget for beautiful, long-lasting hair extensions. Be sure to ask your Boise hair salon stylist which extension option will work best for you.

Boise Hair Extensions – Method

Using high-quality extensions is key when it comes to maintaining, long, lasting length. However, how they are attached is just as important. Boise hair extensions can be sewn or weaved in, where your hair is tightly braided to create a base for the extensions to attach.

Clip-ins are another option that attach around the head by a clip. These take a shorter amount of time to apply and are a wonderful addition for special occasions. Synthetic bonding, taping and gluing are other available options. However, it’s important to listen to your Boise hair salon stylist about the application method they recommend to avoid deterioration and damage to your natural hair.

Boise Hair Extensions – Care

Good extensions should be entirely undetectable while blending with your natural hair. Hair extensions should be cared for just like your natural hair but gently. Be extra careful with wet hair, and avoid brushing or styling until it’s dry. Avoid tugging or yanking while brushing. Hold the hair at the root and detangle from the ends up. Never sleep on wet hair as it can mat the extensions and damage your real hair.
