Quite often, there are different methods to choose from, and it is up to you to decide which method you prefer.

The three most commonly used hair extensions application methods are: I-Tip, U-Tip, and Tape Wefts.

I-Tip: Using a micro-ring bead, these   best hair extension stylist near me  are applied strand by strand using permanent hair extensions. Hair is looped through the micro ring, and a tool similar to pliers is used to squeeze the ring shut around the hair, to bond it. To remove, simply reverse this process by squeezing the ring in the opposing direction. Depending on how fast the hair grows, these can last up to six weeks. Another bonus of using this method, is that the hair can be re-used when you need to have them reapplied. I-tip extensions are great for adding volume, and length- and to mix it up, you can even add in different coloured highlights. After the application you can cut and style your hair as you wish.

U-Tip: These are also a strand-by-strand permanent method. Attaching to natural hair on the head using a Keratin glue, they can also last up to 6 weeks depending on hair growth. Because these are bonded to the hair, it is recommended they are removed by a professional as they are taken out using a remover fluid applied to the extension bond. The bond is then squeezed with pliers multiple times until loosened, and gently pulled off.

Tape Weft: Very popular. Application of tape weft extensions is relatively easy and quick to apply. The pre taped weft of hair is inserted into either side of the natural hair. Easy to maintain, they can be washed and styled like your natural hair. These do not have clear bonds and can at times be seen through the hair. If you often wear your hair in up-do's and ponytails, these may be harder for you to wear, and you need to ensure the wefts are covered before styling.
