Hair extensions: the complete guide
Hair extensions add instant length and volume using extra strands of hair blended with your own. This guide explains the main types, the difference between real human hair and synthetic, and how to choose the right method for your hair and lifestyle.
What are hair extensions?
Hair extensions are wefts or strands of additional hair attached to your natural hair to add length, volume, or both. At HEADS we work only with real, ethically sourced human hair, so extensions can be washed, heat-styled and coloured just like your own — and, when colour-matched properly, become invisible in everyday life.
Real human hair vs synthetic
Synthetic fibre is cheaper but cannot be heat-styled freely, tangles faster and rarely passes as natural at close range. Real human hair moves, shines and ages like your own hair, holds a colour match, and lasts far longer with care. It is the only material we use.
The main methods
Clip-in extensions — wefts on small pressure clips you put in and take out yourself in minutes. Best for occasional wear, events, and added thickness with zero commitment.
Weft (sew-in) extensions — flat wefts attached in the salon for secure, semi-permanent length that you wear day and night and have re-set every few weeks as your hair grows.
Tape-in and keratin (fusion) — semi-permanent methods bonded close to the root. They can be beautiful but are less forgiving on fine or fragile hair; in your consultation we advise honestly whether they suit you, or whether clip-on or weft is the kinder choice.
What HEADS offers
We specialise in custom clip-on and weft extensions in real human hair, colour-matched by European-trained stylists and made in our own ateliers. Because every set is built for one person, the density, length, base and shade are all adjusted to you.
How to choose
Start with your goal (length, volume, or a colour effect like balayage), then your lifestyle (how active you are, how much daily upkeep you want). Fine hair usually does best with lightweight clip-ins or carefully placed wefts. The safest way to decide is a free colour-match consultation, where we match your shade in daylight and show you what each method looks like on you.
