Hair Extensions

​

Clip-in extensions pieces of hair (usually human hair) with small clips that you can fasten to your own hair. Because they're offered in a variety of sizes and weights, you can completely customize your look. Add in a few for a touch of volume, or several all over your head for a fuller, longer look.

Pros:

• Seamless application: Clip-in hair extensions come with a clip already sewn into the hair extension, so using them is intuitive and straightforward—all you have to do is snap them in.

• Affordable options: If you're on a budget, clip-ins can be less expensive than the other types of extensions. Psst: This is a great hack to save some money while still achieving a gorgeous head of hair.

• Multiple clips: Each kit contains about 7  to 12 clips with different widths so your hair stylists can clip them wherever needed to complete your look. This is a great option for to-be-weds who want to add a little volume or a few inches of length to their hairstyle.

Cons:

• Possible breakage: If you have fragile hair, the clips may not be the best extension choice for you—they have the potential to cause hair breakage or split ends if taken out incorrectly. But since you'll mainly just be wearing them for one day, this con is minimal.

Halo hair extensions come in a half-circle shape with a translucent cord to hide them. To apply them, tie your hair up into a half-up topknot (be sure to leave two pieces out in front) and place the cord around the top of your head so the extra hair is sitting in the back of your head. Then, fasten the clips to your own hair and let your hair down. Gently brush out the top of your hair to fully disguise the cord, and you're done!

Pros:

• Easy application: The halo hair extension is only one piece, so all you need to do is place it in your hair. That means no glue, clips or tricky procedures."

• Natural look: Not only is it easy to apply, but it also looks incredibly natural. The one-piece addition blends seamlessly into your locks for flawless, luscious results.

Cons:

• No updos: According to stylists, buns and ponytails are much harder to do while you're wearing the halo. It's best to choose another hair extension option for your day if you've been dreaming of an updo.

Permanent hair extensions

Maybe you've been dreaming about longer hair for a while. Your wedding is a great opportunity to try out permanent hair extensions. Permanent hair extensions are sewn, glued or taped onto your hair and last from four to eight weeks. That means you could potentially rock your long locks for your rehearsal dinner, wedding day and honeymoon.

Pros:

• Long-lasting wear: If you want the long hair look every day (from your rehearsal dinner through your honeymoon, for example), then this is a great option to consider. If it's just for your wedding day, though, you might want to consider more temporary extensions.

• Instantaneous long hair: If you've had short or fine hair your whole life and want to change things up, getting permanent hair extensions is an instant way to guarantee longer hair. Instead of waiting months or even years for your hair to grow, you'll be rocking long hair in just a few short hours.

Cons:

• Possible hair damage: These extensions definitely provide long wear, but they can be damaging to those with sensitive or thin hair. If your extensions are heavy and constantly weighing down on your hair, it can cause hair loss or breakage.

• Higher maintenance: Permanent hair extensions require a lot of specific cleaning and maintenance tricks. Before you commit to permanent extensions, be sure you're ready to commit to the upkeep involved too.

Types of permanent hair extensions include:

​

• Sew-In Extensions: With this technique, we braid down your natural hair and sew two or three bundles of hair extensions to the braids. This service can take three to four hours, but the look lasts one or two months for women with textured hair and 2 weeks for women with smoother textured hair.

• Glue-In Extensions: This is a more temporary application. Small swatches of extensions are glued to the root area near the scalp. This service can take one to two hours to apply, and the look lasts one to two weeks with proper care.

• Tape-In Extensions: With this technique, small swatches of extensions come with pre-glued tabs that are carefully pressed together near the scalp. This service can take one to two hours, and the look lasts one to two months with proper care.

• Fusion or Pre-Bonded Extensions: This technique is the most long lasting of the extensions for Caucasian hair or hair with little texture. Individual beads pre-laced with a small amount of hair are attached at the root to create the most natural and seamless look. This technique can take four to six hours to apply but the results can last two to four months with proper care.
