Using hair extensions can enhance one’s hair by giving it added volume and length and by adding the color of your choice without worrying about any further damage.
Types of hair extensions include tape-in extensions, clip-in or clip-on extensions, micro/nano rings, fusion methods, weaving methods, and wigs.

Bonding
Bonding is a method done by applying hair glue to a section of weft hair onto a person’s natural hair. It is advised to use it for 3 weeks as it begins to loosen up and the attractiveness of the hair decreases
Fusion
The fusion method involves a machine similar to a hot glue gun which is used to attach human hair extensions to one’s natural hair. This method is very time-consuming and takes around 3 or more hours to install and needs re-positioning every 2-3 months. This method is more damaging to natural hair due to the use of different chemicals in the glue and use of heat
Micro ring
Micro-ring hair extensions use small metal (usually aluminium) rings or beads to attach the extension hair to the natural hair. This method does not cause much damage but needs re-positioning every 2-3 months.

Synthetic Fiber
Synthetic fibers do not contain human hair and are made of various materials. They can be easily damaged by friction and heat hence they do not last as long as human hair. Curling, irons, flat irons, and straightening combs generally should never be used on most types of synthetic hairs.
