1. Hot Fusion Pre-bonded Hair Extensions
The Hot Fusion method is the simplest method in which the keratin bonding is attached to the tip of the extension's hair and is applied at the root of your hair using a fusion heat connector.
Each strand of extensions is bonded with the highest quality Italian Keratin Bond, the safest natural bonding agent.
The Extensions can be trimmed, curled, flaironedon, and dyed.
The Extensions can be removed from your hair so easily without causing any damage to your natural hair.
Maintenance time: every 3-4 months depending on the regrowth and how you take care of the extensions.
2. Cold Fusion Pre-bonded Hair Extensions
The Cold Fusion method is the newest method of applying keratin bonding using an Ultrasonic Cold Fusion Machine which does not use heat.
Ultrasound vibrations soften the hair extension bonds so that they can either be molded into a rounded bond for volume or wrapped around the hair to form a flat, seamless bond.

3. Tape-in Hair Extensions
We usually call it Tape or Pre-taped hair.
It is similar to Skin weft, easy and convenient to wear and remove, as the double side tape has already been put on the tape hair weft.
It is simple, completely invisible, and gives an all-natural appearance.
It looks like the hair is growing from your scalp, the hair is hand sewn into a clear skin base and then, is attached to a durable double-sided invisible adhesive tape.
You will feel comfortable wearing this kind of hair extension because the Tape Hair Extensions are completely flexible and see-through, so you can part the hair creatively and pull your locks into partial and full updos without fear!
Maintenance time: every 2-3 months depending on the regrowth and how you take care of the extensions.
4. Nano Ring Hair Extensions
Are you looking for a Hair Extension system that is virtually undetectable?
Our Nano Ring is the answer.
Nano Ring is the newest method of strand-by-strand extension techniques.
This is a No Heat, No Glue, No Clip, and No Sewing method.
The Hair is secured using a TINY undetectable 2mm Nano Ring that is 90% smaller than a standard Micro Ring!
The application tips are comparably small and flexible, therefore, the strands can be attached to thin areas such as the crown and hairline, as well as placed against the scalp.
Maintenance time: every 4-6 months depending on the regrowth and how you take care of the extensions.
5. Micro Loop Ring Hair Extensions
The Micro Ring method is one of the smallest and most undetectable Hair Extension techniques available.
There is no glue or sewing involved with the Micro Ring method, and there is no damage to your hair.
This technique can be done on all types of hair.
The extension is fixed using a ring that is tightened around your hair strand and the extension strand to keep them attached.
Customers love the technique because the Micro Ring is lightweight and flexible.
The other benefit of using micro rings is that they are completely safe for natural hair.
Maintenance time: every 3-4 months depending on the regrowth and how you take care of the extensions.

8. Halo (Flip-in) Hair Extensions
Halo or Flip-in hair extensions are a type of hair extension that is attached to a clear and invisible wire. Unlike traditional hair extensions, they do not require any heat, glue, clips, tape, or sewing to attach them to natural hair.
Instead, the wire is custom fitted to the client's head and adjusted to sit on the crown of the head, hidden within the natural hair. The extensions are then easily flipped over the head like a headband, and positioned the extension underneath, which allows the hair extensions to blend in seamlessly with natural hair.
Halo or Flip-in hair extensions are a great option that provides a quick and easy way to add length, volume, and thickness to the natural hair without causing any damage or stress to the natural hair.
They are easy to use and can be installed in just a few minutes and can be removed just as easily, making them a convenient option for those who are always on the go.
Maintenance time: No maintenance.
9. Weaving Hair Extensions
This is one of the most commonly used methods.
This method involves the braiding of your natural hair.
The braided hair is then sewn down to prevent the hair from being bumpy and the hair weft extensions are sewn onto the braids.
A weave can consist of a few tracks or the whole head can be braided for a full-headed weave.
The number of tracks used depends on the desired look.
Maintenance time: every 2-4 weeks depending on the regrowth and how you take care of the extensions.
10. Skin Weft Hair Extensions
Skin weft hair extensions (or Invisible tape) are made with silicone tabs that are attached to a section of natural hair, close to the scalp and secured in place using a specialized hypoallergenic tape.
This type of extension most closely matches the look of natural hair, giving you an undetectable finish.
We apply the Extensions along your hairline, next to your skin.
It is seamless, without bumps, no braids, no sewing, no beads, no metal tubes, no clips, and invisible.
It can be removed from your hair so easily without causing any damage to your natural hair.
Skin weft hair is reusable.
Maintenance time: every 2-3 months depending on the regrowth and how you take care of the extensions.
11. Front Lace Wig
A Lace Front Wig is a wig that only has lace in the front of the wig and the remainder of the wig is made from a regular netted wig cap or other similar materials.
The lace in the front blends in with your skin to create the illusion that the hair is growing from your scalp and thus a natural-looking hairline.
Most lace wigs have adjustable straps and wig combs to ensure that the wigs fit your head securely.
These wigs can therefore be parted anywhere in the front and can be pulled back into a low ponytail
12. Full Lace Wig
A full Lace Wig is a Lace wig that is designed with the entire wig cap being made from lace as well as lace all around the perimeter of the wig.
A full lace wig allows you to wear your hair in high up dos and ponytails.
A flawless, natural, and undetectable hairline is created upon applying and adhering to the lace wig.
13. Crown Topper Hair Extensions
Our Crown Topper Hair is a lightweight and easy solution for women with hair loss on the scalp from stress, illness, aging or alopecia, and many other conditions.
It is also the perfect option for women with fine or thin hair in specific areas of the scalp; at the top front of their head.

What does a Hair Topper achieve and who needs it?
The primary purpose of a topper is to add volume to your hair as well as conceal patches of hair loss.
A Hair topper can significantly change your look as well as conceal thinning hair or balding patches seamlessly.
If you feel that your hair is lacking volume, a topper cannot only help disguise areas of hair loss but add the look of fullness to your existing hair as well.
14. Ponytail Hair Extensions
Ponytail human hair extensions are a type of hair extension that is specifically designed to add length and volume to a ponytail hairstyle.
They are made from 100% real human hair, and they come in a variety of colors, textures, and styles. The hair extensions are attached to a base that is designed to wrap around the client's natural ponytail, which can then be secured using a clip or a drawstring.
The aim is to add more thickness to the natural ponytail, as well as extend it to add length. Ponytail hair extensions can be styled just like natural hair, they can be straightened, curled, or styled just as one would with their natural hair.
They are a great way to add volume and length to ponytail hairstyles for special occasions or simply as an everyday style, without the need for a full head of hair extensions. They are easy to apply and remove and can be reused many times with proper care.

What is the best Hair extension method?
The answer to this question is all a matter of opinion.
Some Extension stylists swear by their method because they don’t know any other.
A good extensions expert will be able to help educate the advantages and disadvantages of a variety of techniques.
Things to bear in mind:
Despite what you may have heard, Extensions when fitted, maintained & removed properly will NEVER damage your hair.
There are only 3 ways in which they could cause damage:
- If they are not fitted by a qualified Hair Extension specialist.
- If you do not care for them correctly and follow the aftercare advice.
- If they are removed incorrectly.
You may expect some discomfort for the first week or so, this is just because your scalp is getting used to the extra weight of hair that has been applied.
If this happens you will get small itchy bumps at the root of your hair.
Nine times out of ten this will disappear after a few days and is just your scalp getting used to the extra weight.
Your hair sheds daily as part of its natural process losing around 50-100 strands a day.
Just because you have Extensions doesn't mean this process stops.
It continues but since your hair is held together by the extensions it becomes trapped therefore not falling out into your sink or brush.
When you remove your Hair Extensions all of the natural hair that should come out daily would be released and it appears as though a lot of hair is coming out at once, so don't worry, it is just all the daily build-up in one go.
Extensions need maintaining and looking after.
You have to be willing to spend time on them and have the patience to look after them otherwise they will not stay in good condition.
Longer Extensions tend to be harder to look after than short ones.
Extensions may also itch and be uncomfortable for a few days after fitting.
This tends to be just above the nape of your neck, in the middle, and around your crown as these are the most sensitive areas of your scalp.
This will fade as your hair becomes accustomed to the Extensions.
