Everything You Need To Know About Hair Extensions | Clip-Ins, Tape-Ins, Bonds, Hand-Tied

Which hair extensions are best for me? In this video I will take you through a deep dive of clip-in extensions, tape-in extensions, bond extensions and hand-tied extensions. My goal is not to persuade or dissuade you from getting extensions but rather to give you all the information you need to make an informed decision for yourself.

The questions I would love for this video to answer for you are as follows: How much hair extensions cost?
How hair extensions are done/ how hair extensions work?
Which hair extensions are the least damaging?
Which hair extensions are best for me?
Will hair extensions damage my hair?
Which hair extensions are the safest?
Can hair extensions be reused?
What hair extensions are best for fine hair?
And more. If you have any other questions please do leave them in the comments below and I will do my best to answer them or continue the conversation!

I tried not to input my opinion too much into this video but if you are curious I have honestly have a love, hate relationship with extensions for a long time. It's my reality that I will never have the true mane I desire but I have come to really love what I have and learnt how to take care of it. I no longer get anxious sitting in the chair when the technician is removing my extensions. Rather I am looking forward to seeing how much my hair grew from the last time. There is no right or wrong answer when if comes to these types of beauty treatments. Everyone is different and in all honestly what might work wonders for you might not for someone else. With all of that being said I really do hope this video helps you make a well informed decision if you choose to go through route. And a final word, to all my fine haired ladies out there I see you, I love you and thank you for being the most amazing and supportive community.

All of my love!

The price for hair extensions in the US is astronomical it’s crazy! I’m in the UK and I’ve got 24inch nano bead extensions and I paid £400 for 200g of double drawn remy royale human hair and an extra £75 to have them toned to be a perfect shade match and fitted so a total of £475 for hair, toning and installation. I pay £115 every 8-12 weeks to have them removed, my roots recoloured and the extensions refitted at an award winning salon. The fact that it’s common to be paying almost $3000 is crazy to me

I’ve tried every hair extention as well for 14 years. She is right sleeping in clip ins is very damaging …I use to sleep in my clip ins out of insecurity of my short hair showing….tape ins most definitely rips out your hair no matter what brand over ever used they just slide off eventually and such a waste of money (get prepared to wash ur hair only in the sink with cold water because they will just slide off)….Hand tied extentions with micro beads is the best route I’ve ever went…when I get them removed I have literally no hair shed and I can see a progress in my hair growing…also don’t let these salons fool you…I spend 250-350 on my 3 bundles of hair on Amazon and a micro bead kit and literally install my hair myself besides spending 1200$ plus dollars on hair… it is super easy…. Hand tied is the best way to go

I use Bellami tape-ins. The hair you lose with these, when moving up, is minimal. I found they are the best tape-ins for that. They cost a lot, but they’re 💯 worth it.

This video is everything I have been looking for. I just got an awful haircut and I think after the summer I will get extensions. I just don't even know where to start. Thanks so much!

[kaylanorth]

Professional stylist here, you actually can reuse the keratin bond extensions. You just cut the used material off the top and reattach to the client's hair with a replacement keratin bead.

[brittanylevinson]

I wore extensions for years from one of the masters in the 90s. Just getting back to it now due to hair loss. Glad to see costs have come way down. Whole head back then was $1300 for synthetic.

[maryabdel-malik]

Please do a video on how to care for extensions thanks for sharing

[ervinsmoviecorner]

2021 will finally end this week and you look so beautiful, Amanda!❤️❤️

[lovelymunk]

Thank you ☺️ soooo helpful! I would love more videos on this topic (care, tips, hairstyles, ...)

I have a thin hair, so I was suggested to use a Tape Extensions, I bought expensive one for 450€( with extra adhesive tapes, and last for 10 months.
But when we take them off, the glue on tapes often gets stuck beetwen hairs and with acetone and brushing it takes an hour to clean it all. Technitian tried with different acetons but still is a nightmare( not for me but her).. she said that she never had such problems with other clients. Personally I know some of them so I am worried? Why is it so? Any suggestion? Rarely they come off. Every 6weeks(2.5- 3cm) we relocate it. 5 euros per each tape. Croatia

Omg yes ! having hair extensions my natural hair has never been this long

[Natalie_Coy]

I just had a consult for great length bond extensions and was told it’s one and done. A huge investment to not be able to re-use the hair.

[laurenmatthews]

A very informative video. Thank you 🥰. Your hair looks lovely, did you say you have hair extentions in or is that all your natural hair? Either way it looks great!

[melmeobeauty]

Wow… all of the techniques mentioned here are considered out-of-date in Vietnam 🇻🇳 most of them are like 7-10 years ago. The extension we have now is also “hand tied” but not these big & heavy/ damaging ones 🥺

[CarolAnneParaskevaides]

Did you make a video on how to care for them and what products to use?

[catapultx]

Good to know of all these different processes for hair extensions. But I will only go with clip-in extensions

[Blynn_]

Awesome video. I just got a few tape ins to help fill in the front of my face. I love it, but I do have a headache.

[myasharp-pb]

could u do a video on how to style hand sewn wefts?
