Understanding Different Types of Hair Extensions
Each type of hair extension has its own unique benefits and application methods. Knowing these details can help you recommend the best option for your clients.
I. Keratin Tip Hair Extensions
Keratin individual extensions are perfect for clients seeking a long-lasting, discreet option. These extensions use keratin resin bonds, blending seamlessly with natural hair. With proper care, they can last up to three months with no in-salon maintenance.

Factors to Consider When Selecting Extensions
Choosing the right hair extensions isn’t just about the look—it’s about your client’s lifestyle, hair type, and goals. Here’s what to consider:
• Hair Type and Texture: Ensure the extensions match the client’s natural hair density and texture for a flawless blend.
• Lifestyle and Maintenance: Recommend options that suit the client’s daily routine and maintenance preferences.
• Desired Outcome: Understand whether your client is looking to add length, volume, or both.
Application Techniques and Best Practices
The way you apply extensions can make or break the client’s experience. Each type of extension requires specific techniques:
• Keratin Tips: Use a heat clamp tool and heat shields for precise application, ensuring the bonds are secure but gentle on natural hair.
• Invisible Tape: Place the tape close to the root but not too tight for a natural finish that’s comfortable and long-lasting.
• Genius Weft: Customize the wefts to fit perfectly without bulk.
• Clip-Ins: Show clients how to position clip-ins securely for all-day wear.
