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.

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.
