What are the best hair extensions for me?

If you’ve been debating investing in high-quality hair extensions but don’t know where to start, you’ve come to the right place.

With various options out there, it can be confusing, to say the least, to find out what method and type of extension is best for you. Luckily, we’ve created an easy guide to help you decide which path to go down.

You can stop procrastinating the hair transformation now and browsing endless videos on TikTok! By the end of this blog, you’ll feel confident in knowing exactly what you need.

Things to Consider When Choosing Extensions

When choosing the best hair extensions for you, it's about more than just the type and method.

If you don’t get the perfect colour match, you’ll look like a 2000s star who’s gone wild on the mismatched highlights. Colour matching is essential to ensure your extensions look as natural and blended as possible.

For those who like a bit more freedom with their hair, real human hair extensions are the better choice. Unlike synthetic hair, these can be dyed, styled with heat, and blow-dried without the hair becoming stiff or damaged.

Plus, human hair extensions can last up to a year! So it’s really a no-brainer.

Types of Hair Extensions: Endless choice

Clip-in Extensions

If you’re an occasional partier, clip-in extensions may be your best friend. They are ideal for glamming up their look for a night out with a simple clip attachment.

Clip-ins can be added and removed easily from home, offering a budget-friendly option and a temporary upgrade.

Tape-In Extensions

Are you done with clip-ins? The next step up for you may just be tape-in extensions.

These can last up to 8 weeks before needing to readjust, perfect for a girl's holiday or trying out a new hair length. With a simple attachment method, these feature medical-grade adhesive and are applied by "sandwiching" sections of your natural hair between the wefts.

While they still need to be applied by a professional, they’re more budget-friendly than other options.

Weft (Sew-in) Extensions

With the clue in the name, sew-in extensions are sewn into your natural hair that’s been braided.

Sew-ins are best for thick or coarse hair and long-term wear. They offer more styling opportunities and don’t damage hair, as no heat or glue is used during the process.

Nano-tip Extensions

A popular method of applying hair extensions, nano tip extensions involve attaching small bundles of hair extensions to your natural hair with small nano-rings (smaller than micro rings) that are designed to blend into the hair.

This method is gentle on hair, as no heat or adhesive is used, preventing damage. Nano-tips offer better results for those with thin or fine hair.

Choosing the best option for you

Now it’s time to figure out which hair extensions will offer you the best results. We’ve included the best options for each circumstance below to help you make your final decision!

Hair type and texture

      Fine hair: opt for tape-in extensions or clip-ins to avoid stress to the scalp.

      Thick hair: Sew-ins handle the weight and volume better.

Budget

      Low budget: Opt for clip-ins as these are more temporary and can be applied at home.

      Mid-budget: Tape-ins or nanotips are generally affordable and offer great durability.

      High budget: Sew-ins offer the most durability, natural appearance, and longevity.

Lifestyle and maintenance

      Low-maintenance: If you’re a busy woman, then clip-ins are the best choice for you.

      Active lifestyle: Tape-ins and nano-rings are more secure and durable for people with regular hobbies like running, swimming, or dancing.

      High maintenance: if you have time and money for constant upkeep, it’s worth investing in sew-in extensions.

Hair Health

      Damaged hair: if your hair is currently in the wars, avoid heavy extensions like sew-ins and opt for clip-ins or tape-ins.

      Healthy hair: If your hair is in good condition, then sew-ins are a great choice, as they offer the best results.

Desired Outcome

      Length: If length is your most important factor, clip-ins and tape-ins are the quickest way to achieve it.

      Volume: If fuller hair is what you’re after sew-ins are your new best friends.

      Colour: If you can’t commit to one hair extension colour, clip-ins are a great way to experiment with highlights or balayage without chemical treatments.

      Blending: Synthetic hair is no match for real human hair extensions when it comes to the most natural and beautiful finish.
