All You Need to Know About Hair Extensions



We all have seen a lot of celebrities and their transformed look for a movie shoot in awe; where they went from mid-sized hair to long luscious and beautiful one. After seeing it many of us have, perhaps, got inspired from it and wanted to get our hair done in a similar style. But growing long locks of hair doesn't happen overnight. Not only is it time consuming but also very tedious as it requires lot of maintenance.

But worry not; we at Happie Hair have a solution that is now accessible to all Indian women. A solution called Hair Extensions. We are specialists in human hair extension based in Thane and we provide all types of wavy clip-in hair extensions, right from straight and smooth to wavy and bouncy.

What are Hair Extensions?
Hair extensions are exactly what the term suggests; they are additional set of hairs that can be attached to your own to increase length, volume or both. These hair extensions can either be synthetic or made of natural human hair. The synthetic ones will be cheaper as compared to natural ones. But the advantage of natural human hair extension is that the cuticles (outer layer) of the hair are preserved and they all run in the same direction which ultimately makes them blend better with your own hair.

Why opt for Hair Extensions
There may be a variety of reasons for a person to use these extensions. Though we have listed down a few common ones that i hear frequently.
“My hair growth is very slow, so i want to add extra length to it.”
“I want more bouncy hair.”
“I want a temporary new hair style for an event I am going to.”
“I want colours in my hair but we don’t want to use chemical dyes.”

Hair Extensions Techniques
There are many types of extensions available in the market. We have classified them on the basis of method used to attach them.

Tape-in Hair Extensions
These are easy to use and can be put on in about couple of hours. The basic concept behind it is that the wefts of hair in this type have a double or single-sided polyurethane tape tabs which sandwiches and sticks to your hair. These extensions last for about 4-6 weeks, then a touch up may be required.

Micro Ring Hair Extensions
Micro ring extensions come as bundles of hair that can be looped around a small part of your own hair and it is then secured using a metal bead which is clamped with a pair of pliers. A more convenient form of this is micro loop extension, which is nothing but pre looped and beaded extension. To get this type of extension done, you will require help from a professional hair stylist and invest about 4-5 hours. Once done, these extensions should last for 2-3 months and they can be un-crimped and reused as well.

Clip-in Hair Extension
If you are looking for quick and temporary style change for yourself, this type of extension is the one for you. They are just wefts of hair with clips attached to it at the top. To use it, you simply clip them near the roots of your hair, brush it and you are good to go. All it takes is 10-15 minutes to set them up and the best part is that you can put it on or remove it whenever you want, no professional help required.

Hot/Cold Fusion Hair Extension
These techniques require hands of a professional hairstylist. In hot fusion, the extensions are attached to your hair by using a heating tool and keratin U-tips lined with silicone. But in cold fusion the extensions come pre-tipped with keratin based polymer which is attached to your hair with a specialized tool and doesn’t require any heat application. Though these methods can take around 5-8 hours for application, but output lasts over 4 months, if maintained properly.

With this, we would say, now you have all the basic knowledge you need to know before getting hair extensions. For more details, call us on +918369223872 or follow us on Facebook.
