All About Hair Weaves

Extension hair refers to the weave hair being applied strand by strand rather than in long, sewn-together rows. Strand-by-strand hair has approximately 50-80 strands attached by keratin tips resembling the end of a shoe string. These can then be attached by bonding directly to the hair or using copper links, which provides the most natural look. The method is the most time-consuming, as between 100 to 300 individual extensions are applied. The amount of time necessary makes this type of application a more expensive service than other options. Other types of extensions include ponytails or ponytail pieces. Just like any wig or wigpiece, the colors for hair to be weaved can range from "realistic" colors, such as black, red, brown, and blonde, to colors such as pink, blue, green, and purple.
