Some people may think that human hair is the only type of hair extension, but that’s not true. However, it’s an important distinction to make because human hair is just that—real hair. If you’re going to trust your extensions for a natural-looking style, human hair is the best option for many reasons. For example, the cuticle of Remy hair remains intact and aligned in a unilateral direction to provide a natural look and feel. There are two types: Remy human hair and non-Remy hair. Remy hair has been processed and cuticles are intact, while non-Remy hair is not. If you want to wear human hair extensions, it is important to make sure they are 100% Remy because they provide natural-looking results and blend well with your own hair. Halo Couture only uses 100% Remy human hair in order to provide our clients with only the highest quality, professional hair extensions.
Clip-In Hair Extensions
Clip-ins can be used in place of permanent extensions and are ideal for those who want to change their hairstyle without the commitment of going to a salon every couple of weeks. The process involves attaching small sections of hair to the underlying layers of your own hair using mini clips. It only takes five minutes!
Tape-In Hair Extensions
Tape-in hair extensions are considered to be semi-permanent, although you can usually wear them for about six weeks before the adhesive begins to lose its hold and they need to be removed. A trained professional stylist must apply this type of tape extensions balayage, but the effort is well worth it. Tape-ins can be applied in an hour or less and provide a more seamless look than clip-ins.
Sewn-In Hair Extensions
Halo Couture uses sewn-in extensions, a type of clip-in that is sewn directly into layers of your natural hair. The method is the least damaging of professionally applied hair extensions because it doesn’t require heat, glue, or chemicals. Our beaded weft method involves attaching beads into your natural hair before sewing them onto these beads with a sewing machine. The result is beautiful hair that will last up to two months and can be reapplied twice or three times if necessary.
