What exactly are Hair Extensions?
Hair extensions are strands of luxury European or virgin Russian hair that are held together on a weft or held together by a bond. Wefts are the horizontal running strips that holds the strands in place. All of the hair is attached at the weft through sewing. That’s right, when you get hair extensions from Hair Envy, they’re made from real human hair. The reason for this is so you can wash and style your hair with little to no differences in your normal routine. Want some curls? Go for it! Straighten those bangs. You can even color hair extensions, but it’s recommended to have our stylist do so as you don’t want to color the wefts!
These wefts of hair vary drastically in length. They often range from 14 to 24 inches. However, Hair Envy extensions go all the way up to 34 inches in length if you get European extensions! The luxury European extensions go up to 34 inches, while the virgin Russian hair goes up to 24 inches. It’s important that you know what your hair goals are before determining a length. The more fragile your hair is, the less likely it is that you’ll be able to withstand those extra-long extensions simply due to the weight of them. However, your hair stylist can help you determine what the best length for you is. They can even help you get your hair to a healthy point to withstand those longer threads!
Hair extensions are attached to the hair/scalp through a variety of practices from tape-ins to threading to a beading process. It just depends on what your salon offers and what their hair extensions are created for.
How do You Install Hair Extensions?
Depending on the kind of hair extensions you’ve purchased, the installation method will vary. Hair Envy offers three kinds of hair extensions: pre bonded extensions, tape-in extensions, and hand-tied weft extensions.
Installation of Hair Envy virgin Russian hand tied wefts and luxury European wefts are the quickest to install. During this process, your hairdresser will apply small silicone rings that are set 1 inch apart. The rings will form a horseshoe shape from temple to temple. These rings are used to attach each hair weft in place. Each row usually holds 3-4 wefts of hair.
The second kind of hair extensions offered at Hair Envy are tape in luxury European hair extensions. Tape-ins are one of the easiest to install. Tape in hair extensions do contain a weft, but that weft is not sewn to your hair like in traditional hair weft extensions. They are instead attached to your existing hair via an adhesive. This adhesive is either already incorporated to the extensions or can be added during the installation process. They take much less time to install and are ideal for adding volume.
Installation of virgin Russian pre bonded extensions takes the longest but achieves the same stunning results using virgin Russian hair. Pre bonded hair extensions do not contain traditional wefts. They are held together at one end through the use of a keratin-bond. This often makes them lighter and less noticeable than traditional hair extensions. During the installation process, the extensions are attached to your hair using a heat gun that melts the keratin bond, attaching it to the bond placed on a small section of your hair. The process is simple, but does take a while, especially if you have a lot of extensions going in.
