Types and Methods of Hair Extensions

Hair extensions come in many forms to suit different hair textures, style goals, and preferences. Below are the most popular types offered at CaVaBien Spa, along with common attachment techniques.

Understanding Different Extension Types

Hand-Tied Wefts
Hand-tied wefts are sewn into your natural hair for a seamless look. They’re a popular choice for minimal damage and a natural blend.

Tape-In Extensions
Tape-in extensions are attached using adhesive strips. They’re quick to apply, easy to remove, and an excellent semi-permanent solution.

Beaded Extensions
Beaded extensions use small, silicone-lined beads to attach extensions to your natural hair. They’re lightweight, secure, and gentle, making them ideal for many hair types.

Fusion Extensions
Fusion (or “keratin bonding”) extensions involve bonding individual strands to your hair using a specialized adhesive. This method creates a very natural, customizable look.

Clip-In Extensions
Clip-ins are a non-permanent option that let you add length or volume instantly. They can be applied or removed at home and typically last up to a year with proper care.

Attachment Techniques

Braided (Sew-In) Weave
This technique involves braiding your natural hair and sewing extensions onto the braid. It’s a secure, long-lasting method that usually needs a touch-up every 6–8 weeks.

Tape-In
Tape-in extensions use adhesive-backed strips for quick and easy installation, often taking under an hour. Re-taping is recommended every 4–8 weeks.

Beaded
Beaded extensions attach via small silicone-lined rings. This technique avoids glue or heat and can last up to 12 weeks with proper maintenance.

Sew-In
“Sew-In” can also refer to hand-tied wefts or braided weaves. Stylists thread and sew wefts securely for natural movement and minimal damage.

Fusion (Keratin Bonding)
Fusion extensions bond individual strands to your natural hair using keratin-based adhesive. This method requires meticulous application and can last several months with proper care.

Maintaining Your Extensions

Proper maintenance is the key to keeping your hair extensions looking fresh and natural. At CaVaBien Spa, we also provide professional support to enhance the longevity of your extensions.

Regular Washing
Use a sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner. Gently wash and rinse to prevent tangling or shedding.

Detangling
Always detangle with a wide-tooth comb or extension-friendly brush, starting at the ends and working upward.

Heat Protection
Use a heat protectant spray before styling with hot tools. Reducing heat usage prolongs the life of your extensions.

Specialized Products
Opt for extension-friendly serums and leave-in conditioners to keep hair smooth and shiny.

Drying Techniques
Gently pat hair dry or use a blow dryer on a cool setting. Avoid rough towel-drying to minimize frizz or breakage.
