Types of Hair Extensions

Not all extensions are installed the same way. Here's a quick overview to help you pick the right one.

Bundles (wefts)

Hair sewn onto a track. Used for sew-ins, quick weaves and making custom wigs. Most full heads use 3–4 bundles plus a closure or frontal.

Lace pieces that finish a sew-in. Closures (4x4, 5x5, 2x6) cover the parting area; frontals (13x4, 13x6) run ear to ear.

A complete unit you can take off and put on. Ideal for protective styling and switching looks.

Wefts with small clips. Add length or volume in minutes and remove at night.

Thin panels that sit flat against the scalp. Usually applied by a stylist and worn for several weeks.

Bulk or pre-looped hair for boho braids, knotless braids and crochet styles.

Wrap-around or drawstring pieces for an instant sleek or curly ponytail.
