hair

extension

methods

that exist and which one might be great for you. I've been getting tons of questions about a plot or not. isolation is better or care links or eye links so I thought I would break this video down into each

extension

method and why you would use one over the other and honestly this video is perfect for a stylist or if you are a client simply. I want to know more about which

hair

extension method might be

right

for you, but before you continue, make sure to hit the subscribe button and turn on all notifications so you don't miss any videos.

Now let's go ahead and start now. I want to start with yes, there are seven different hair extension

methods

, there are weft installation, eye bonds, care bonds, flat tip tapes and of course clips and halos, that's not to say there are many other types of methods hair extension methods, but these are the most popular and you will be able to find each of these extension methods on donabellahair.com, so if you want to learn more about any of the extension methods we will be talking about, be sure to check out the description. down now, before we continue with this video, I want to send a special shout out to sister to sister beauty salon.

Not only did she buy me such a good taco, she also left a really sweet little thank you on my page and just says thank you for sharing your tips and tricks now if you want to learn how you can buy me a taco and donate to my education be sure to check out the description below literally says buy me a taco that's it you will get a special shout out on my page so again thank you so much sister sister beauty salon now let's go back to this video now the first hair extension method of the one I want talk are tapens, they are quite popular and very easy to install, they last about four to six weeks and yes you do need to remove them, retape them and then reinstall them.

They are probably one of the quickest installation methods you can use, making them really desirable for many customers. The other benefit of these is that there are no tools. You need to simply remove the tape from each side and then place them on top of each other. There is also single sided tape, so if you are working with someone with very fine hair, you can use a single strand or like I mentioned. You can intersperse these bad boys for much more density. You can also customize them by cutting them in half and making them smaller overall.

They are very easy to install. However, there are some limitations when getting too close to the hairline, but in general. They are really easy to customize when it comes to coloring and installation, making this a great option if you are new to hair

extensions

. The next hair extension method I want to talk about is the hybrid weft. The amazing

thin

g about these hybrid wefts is that they are machine tied but they are just as

thin

as hand tied and if you want to know the difference between hand tied and machine tied, basically a hand tied is literally hand tied, exactly what It does mean, however, when you cut a tie by hand the bond can unravel, while machine bonding is made with a sewing machine and will keep this bond in place no matter where you cut it, so that's where it comes in. place this hybrid plot.

It's basically the perfect marriage between a hand-tied but machine-bound fabric, which is why I love them so much. now for a hybrid plot, as far as maintenance goes, you'll check every six to eight weeks that you'll need to move them up. There are many different ways to install them, as simple as one row or even up to three rows and what's really nice is that they are thin enough that you can place multiple wefts in a row. They usually come in sizes from 18 to 22 inches, but they are definitely one of the most popular ways of installation today, because well, let's just say they are really easy to install and while they take a little more time than the duct tape, there is no adhesive when it comes to these, basically if you are just looking for extra length or density and you may only need a few rows and If you want to avoid installing hybrid weft with duct tape it might be for you.

I would also recommend a hybrid weft for someone with medium to

thick

hair because, again, they are really customizable; however if you are on the really low density fine side you might consider a different option but overall a hybrid weft is honestly one of the

best

methods out there now these next two are pretty similar with one small difference and I'm talking about the eye links and flat tips now these are installed with a bead normally you can use a silicone bead or a flare bead so let's talk about the similarities: the eye link and the flat tip are basically both individuals, however, The difference between these is that the eye link has a more rounded tip and the flat tip is, well, you guessed it, flat.

However, what makes them really desirable is that they have that 360 degree movement, so if your client is going to wear their hair up a lot or just likes that free individual way of installation, now they will really like a way individual hair extension. I personally had eye bonds installed in my hair and I honestly felt like they looked the most natural of all the other extension methods I've had and that's not to say the other methods aren't natural looking, it's more of a preference. personal when it comes to an installation and I think it has to do simply with the way they are placed individually in the hair and of course how they feel now in terms of a preview quote that you are seeing in each From six to ten weeks to move these bad boys.

Another added benefit of these flat tips is that they are flat. I think you get a little more coverage when it comes to placement because they lay flat next to each other compared to the eye link is more like a rounded strand so again it comes down to preference over what you and your client really want and how it feels on your head many times you just have to try one just to see if you'll like it, I would also suggest eye links or flat ends for someone who has quite

thick

hair as well If you are on the medium to thicker side these might be great for you, however if you have ultra fine hair they might be a little heavy. because in addition to the weight of the hair, you are also adding the weight of the bead, now the beads are actually very light, but they are still something to consider when working with low density ultra-fine hair, as you can see.

So far, what we've talked about is anyone with medium to thick hair. Hybrid weft ribbons, eye links, and flat tips may be great for you. What if you have low-density ultra-fine hair or really fragile hair? What should you do now? Honestly, my personal favorite for any hair type, but especially if you have ultra-fine, low-density hair, it's a bond of care. What is a care bond? A keralink is also known as a fusion bond, so it is a keratin bond that is heated and wrapped around the individual hair. strands and what makes them really desirable is that these are the most customizable hair

extensions

out there, you can literally take this link and cut it into fifths or probably even eighths if you really want, you can cut them pretty small which means you can wear them very close to the hairline so they are great for solution based hair extensions so someone who may have some thinning or wants to fill in that hairline or just wants a longer fuller look overall , Carol inks are also the longest lasting method. which can now last up to 12 weeks, although they last a long time, the downside to these is that you will probably want to order a whole new hair pack for an install and they take much longer to install because you are individually heating each strand as you go, so which takes between four and six hours for a full head installation, however, you don't actually get back to the salon that often, time-wise. like carolynx, i prefer to just sit in the salon for the day, knowing that my hair will last up to 12 weeks, now there are two different methods whereby you don't need to go to a salon for a install and i'm talking about halos and the clips, so if you are the type of person who doesn't like the feel of hair extensions in your hair, that's not a problem, these two methods you can wear on your hair during the day and just take them out and sleep as you would normally do at night, the downside to this is that you have to comb your hair every morning putting them on, so again it's all a matter of preference and what will be

right

for you now. a solo is a solo that is a weft solo and it has this little clear headband that is adjustable right on the inside so depending on the size of your head you can make it smaller or bigger and make it fit you well you basically go a install this right at the top of your head so this wire blends in and then you just take that top section and style it, that's it and once you're done with it and the night is over, you just take it off and you're done, It's literally that simple.

A solo is also a great option if you are going to be a bride or going to a special occasion and don't want to recommit to a long-term hair extension method. It all comes down to what is good for you and comfortable comfort again, it all comes down to what is the

best

extension method for you and what your comfort is, for example do you want something that sits on your head between 6 and 12 weeks or are you just looking for something? something short term for a special occasion now the last option is clips. Now what I love about clips is that you can crop them all over your head or

choose

where you want that clip to live.

If you're doing a side style for a special occasion, you can really customize the clips so you can get the maximum amount of fullness, maybe on the side or in the center or wherever you're looking for now. There are different sizes inside your backpack which I love, so you can fill the wider ones towards the bottom and then of course take these small, unique ones and put them on top. The good thing about the solo and these clips. The advantage is that you can install them yourself at home, so you don't really need to go to the salon and install some hair extensions for the clips, you just decide where you want to put that hair, undo the little clip, insert it. in and just close it and now it's hanging in there and I'm hoping it fits pretty well now of course you're going to need to add a bunch more, but they definitely come together beautifully and honestly sometimes if I just try.

To take a break from my hair extensions, I'll be wearing individual or clip-in ones to still feel like I have the extra fullness that I love so much now. The other interesting thing that donna bella offers you when you order these. alone or those clips comes with a really cool bag and hanger. Honestly, this hanger is a must for any hair extension because not only will it help you wash them really well, but you can also use it to style them. your hair, so really a single or a clip is great for any hair type, there are no beads, there is no tape and there is definitely no keratin bond, just put them on and you're good to go for the night, just make sure you take care of that hair. and use that hanger and store them properly now.
