What Are the Different Types of Hair Extensions?

At SWAY, we specialise in premium Remy human hair extensions that seamlessly blend with your natural hair, adding volume, length, and colour. Our many different types of hair extensions maintain the integrity of each strand, ensuring long-lasting shine, softness, and effortless styling. 

1. Clip-In Hair Extensions

SWAY's Seamless Clip-In Hair Extensions offer a temporary solution to enhance your hairstyle. Designed for easy application, the different types of clip-in hair extensions allow you to add volume and length without a permanent commitment. Available in various lengths and shades, these extensions blend effortlessly with your natural hair, making them ideal for special occasions or daily wear. 

2. Seamless Tape-in Hair Extensions

Our Seamless Tape-in hair extensions are semi-permanent, utilising adhesive tape to secure the extensions between natural hair strands. The application process involves partitioning the natural hair and applying the extensions near the scalp, resulting in a natural look and comfortable wear. With proper maintenance, they can last several weeks, offering a long-term solution for enhancing your hairstyle. 

3. Seamless Flat Weft Hair Extensions

Seamless Flat Weft Hair Extensions, also known as weaves, involve braiding natural hair into tight cornrows and sewing the extensions onto the braids. This method provides a durable solution for adding volume and length, suitable for individuals with thicker hair. Professional installation ensures a seamless blend and a polished appearance. 

4. Flat Tip Extensions

Flat Tip Bonds attach individual hair strands to natural hair using a keratin bonding agent. The application process requires professional expertise, involving heated tools to bond the extensions, resulting in a seamless blend that mimics the movement and texture of natural hair. They offer a realistic appearance and can withstand various styling methods. 

5. Nano Bond Hair Extensions

Nano Bond extensions attach individual hair strands to natural hair using small silicone beads. This method avoids heat, glue, and chemicals, making it a preferred choice for those seeking natural enhancement. The beads are reusable and can be adjusted with professional assistance, providing flexibility and comfort.
