Which Extensions Are Right for YOU?

You determined whether by choice or recommendation that you need or want extensions but there’s so many options ! Are they all created the same? Is one better that others? Or maybe for certain looks? It’s a lot to navigate. Let’s take a look at the various types of extensions & which are better for which circumstances.

First up are Easy Updo Extensions. They are easy to use & cost effective. While synthetic they come in a variety of multidimensional shades to match everyone. These are ideal for clients who do not have enough hair to form a bun nor enough hair to create a look with a filler piece yet they do not want clip in extensions. Easy Updo Extensions are perfect for buns that have some movement. You can purchase your own via their website and receive a discount with the code “thestylistabroad “

Secondly are “ponytail” extensions. Very similar to Easy Updo Extensions but there is more versatility as to the type of bun you can do. You can create a fishtail bun or even a super sleek bun. There’s the option obviously for a ponytail but also using the concept of a ponytail you can use them in a braided look. Often they are synthetic so make sure to avoid styles that require heat.

Next are halo extensions. They are more costly than the previous 2 options but typically less costly that clip ins. They create a vast amount of length & weight all at once. Keep in mind that they are most beneficial for down styles, half up styles & some low updos. Also keep in mind whether the bulk has any clips. Personally we prefer that they do as some hair has more slippage than others & that’s something we don’t want to worry about on your wedding day. If they don’t there’s the option of installing clips.

Perhaps the MOST versatile are clip in extensions. They are more costly however they have more options & last a very long time ! Especially if you don’t wear them all the time & take care of them. You should always get remy & ethically sourced. There’s a very wide variety of color options plus human remy extensions can be colored ( shifting tones & going darker). These can be used for every type of style. So if you’re unsure these could be the safest option for you.

Fianally there’s the option of toppers. Toppers are used to cover the crown of the head. All other extols can only go up so high on the head as they still need enough hair to be hidden. If an individual is thinning on top or wants some extra oomph a topper can provide just that. Since they are the most intricate to create they are the most costly but topper really are the best at what they do.

If you’re interested in exploring your options look into Aashi Beauty Co or Uniwigs . With both sites we have a referral code “thestylistabroad” to which you will receive a discount.
