Buying Clip-in Hair Extensions

If you are looking to enhance your hair by adding volume, color or a different texture, you might have considered hair extensions. However, many people are turned off by the fact that they have to go to a salon to have their extensions put in. Now, with clip-in hair extensions, you can do it yourself.

There are many different types of clip-in hair extensions, as well as many different textures to choose from. What are the types and textures, and which ones are best for your hair?

Types of Hair Extensions

Some of the most popular types of hair extensions include human hair and synthetic hair. Human hair is known to be the highest quality hair extensions because they can be styled similar to your own hair. With clip-in extensions you will find that you can style the hair before clipping them in, or waiting until after you clip them in. Generally, human hair extensions are very secure and are made to stay in place, even if they are pulled at. Synthetic hair extensions do not look as real as human hair, but you can also style them easily.

Hair Extension Textures

There are various textures of hair to choose from. Depending on the type of hair you have and the type of hair you are looking for you can make your selection.

Of course there is the silky straight hair, deep wave or deep curl hair. These extensions are all made using high-quality hair and produce the natural look that you desire. However, one of the most popular types of textures is the yaki straight. Yaki clip-in hair extensions are popular because they resemble African-American or Caribbean hair. This hair texture is chemically relaxed. Yaki clip-in hair extensions can be straightened or they can be wavy or curly. Yaki hair can be made from remy hair or non-remy hair.

In addition to yaki clip-in hair extensions, you might also prefer kinky yaki hair. This type of textured hair gives a much more fuller look than yaki straight or curly hair. It depends on the type of hair you are looking for and the look you want to achieve with your clip-in hair extensions.

Maintaining Your Clip-In Hair Extensions

Just like a wig, your hair extensions need to be cared for. They should be washed using both shampoo and conditioner approximately once a week. Following the wash, you should leave your extensions to dry naturally. If you choose to dry them with a hair dryer, you run the risk of burning them.

If you choose to style your hair extensions be sure to use a low heat, so you do not burn them. When they are clipped into your hair be extra gentle.

When not using your hair extensions, keep them stored in a safe place so that they are not damaged by any extreme temperatures or other factors.

No matter what type of hair extensions you are looking for, whether they be yaki clip-in hair extensions or kinky yaki extensions, you will love the new look they provide you with.
