The Complete Guide to Choosing the Right Hair Extension Method

You need to use the right hair extension tools and choose the right extension method for each client to get the best results. Before recommending anything, consider their hair type and daily routine, as well as how much maintenance they’re happy to keep up with. Here’s a closer look at some of the most popular extension methods and who they’re best suited for.

Tape-in extensions

If your client tells you they want extensions that feel light and comfortable, tape-in hair extensions are definitely worth recommending. They're especially good for shorter hair that sits above the shoulders because they can add fullness and length without looking bulky and blend really well with natural hair.

Wefts

Wefts are perfect when your client wants thicker-looking hair but doesn’t like the bulky feel of traditional extensions. They also tend to work well for medium to thick hair.

Keratin or nail-tip extensions

Is your client looking for something that lasts longer and doesn't require regular trips back to the salon? Keratin or nail-tip hair extensions are well worth considering. Each strand is bonded individually so they blend in beautifully and move just like natural hair.

Nano bead extensions

Does your client want extensions that are gentle and subtle on their natural locks? Nano bead extensions can be a great option since the beads are much smaller than traditional ones, so they’re not very noticeable while still holding the extensions securely in place.

Clip-in extensions

Not every client wants extensions they have to wear all the time, and that's exactly where clip-in extensions come in. They're perfect for special occasions or anyone who likes changing up their hairstyle whenever the mood strikes. Your client can clip them in for instant length or extra volume, then take them out just as easily at the end of the day.
