Best Hair Extensions near me in Andolsheim, Colmar

There are five main types of real or synthetic hair extensions:

1. Clip-in – easy, temporary option that you simply clip onto your own hair.
2. Tape – strands of hair which are taped or glued to the roots of your natural hair.
3. Bonds – thin strands that are glued to your natural hair using heated keratin.
4. Weaves/Sew-in – hair strands that are sewn or braided to cornrows made with your own hair.
5. Microlink – thin strands of hair that are pulled through a silicone bead and clamped onto your natural hair.

Tape-in extensions are one of the most popular and low-damage methods. Browse and book tape-in extension specialists near you on Fresha.

Your hairstylist will be able to advise you on the best type of extension for you based on your hair type and the look you are trying to achieve. Natural hair extensions are better than synthetic, which can’t be heat-styled.

Yes, with Fresha you can book hair extension consultations and appointments online 24/7. Browse specialists near you and confirm instantly.

You should care for real hair extensions just as you would your natural hair: brush, wash and condition them without overdoing it at the root, which could loosen the bonding. Synthetic extensions can be washed in cool water with a small amount of mild shampoo before applying a leave-in conditioner. It’s also advisable to book once-monthly appointments with your stylist to ensure the proper upkeep of your hair extensions.

The best method depends on your hair type, lifestyle and goals. Fine hair is often suited to tape-in or micro-link extensions; thick hair can usually support most methods. An extension specialist will assess your hair during a consultation to recommend the best approach.
