What are hair extensions?

Hair extensions are the addition of hair (human or synthetic) applied and blended into your natural hair. There are many different types of hair extensions, some being tape-in, sew-in, clip-in, and glue-in. They can quickly and easily add volume and length, naturally enhancing your hairstyle for a completely different look.

What are different types of hair extensions?

Types of hair extensions - Clip-In Extensions

Perfect for quick transformations, clip-in extensions offer versatility and convenience. Clip in extensions are a great and extremely popular way to extend your look. They can easily be removed at any time and are minimally disruptive because they don’t call for the addition of chemicals or other harsh solutions to secure the hair.

Clip Ins Application Method

Clip ins are a super easy way to use and can be applied at home in a few minutes. Depending on the number of wefts included in your Yilite hair extensions and your desired hair thickness, clip them into your natural hair with pre-installed clips, taking less than 10 minutes to apply.

Types of hair extensions -Tape In Extensions

Seamlessly blend with your natural hair for a natural look and feel. As the name suggests, tape in extensions adheres to the roots of the hair using medical-grade tape and is usually 0.8cm wide. However, Yilite recently launched a new narrow tape in product. The width of the tape is only 0.3cm, which makes it more invisible than ordinary tape hair extensions.
