Wefts Hair Extensions vs Tape Hair Extensions: What Type of Hair Extensions Should You Get?
We're diving deep into one of the most common questions we get at Yovanka Loria Salon: Weft Hair Extensions vs Tape Hair Extensions. While tape extensions may be popular in the wider market, at Yovanka Loria Salon, we advise against them. Here's why we think weft extensions are the safer, more effective choice and how they can transform your hair while keeping it healthy.
The Best Hair Extension Salon In Adelaide:
At Yovanka Loria Salon in Adelaide, we take pride in offering high-quality Weft Hair Extensions that not only transform your look but also promote healthy and sustainable hair growth. Yovanka Loria Extensions are designed to last, with the potential to endure up to a year or longer if cared for as per the relevant aftercare instructions. The secret to the longevity of the product lies in both the type of Hair Extensions you choose and the way they are installed.
Why Proper Installation Matters
Investing in hair extensions is not just about adding length or volume, its about protecting the health of your natural hair. That's why visiting a certified YL Stylist is crucial. Our expert stylists use gentle, precise installation methods to minimise tension and stress on your natural hair. No matter the type of extension, poor installation can cause breakage, thinning, and long-term damage.
Tape Hair Extensions:
Tape Hair Extensions are thin strips with adhesive that attach to small sections of your natural hair. While they may be easy to apply and remove, tape extensions carry significant downsides:
- Risk of Damage leading to breakage, thinning and fragility.
- Limited longevity and damage from poor installation
- Styling Limitations
Below, we have attached a two images of our lovely client from Yovanka Loria Salon. The first photo (image on the left) illustrates a common issue clients experience with Tape Hair Extensions when not adequately cared for. This client experienced severe damage, fragility, and thinning of her hair due to improper installation and maintenance. This outcome highlights the significance of seeking out reputable and skilled stylists who understand the importance of maintaining the health of your natural hair during the Hair Extension process.
Weft Hair Extensions:
Weft Hair Extensions (shown in the image on the right) is our method of choice for achieving safe, long-lasting results. Here's Why:
- Even Weight Distribution: Wefts are sewn onto a beaded track along the scalp, spreading the weight evenly across your hair. This reduces strain on your natural strands and lowers the risk of breakage or damage.
- Durability: With correct aftercare, YL Extensions can last 6-12 months - or longer - before needing to be replaced.
- Versatility & Customisable: Yovanka Loria Weft Extensions can be completely customisable in length, weight, colour and style for a bespoke transformation.
The above transformation displays how YL Weft Hair Extensions can lead to healthier-looking hair when properly installed and maintained. With the right approach, you can enjoy a longer, more voluminous, and gorgeous look without compromising the well-being of your natural hair.
Caring for Your Weft Extensions
Longevity isn't just about installation, it's about maintenance. Here's how to ensure your YL Weft Extensions stay healthy and long-lasting.
- Gentle Handling: Treat your extensions with care, brushing them gently and avoiding tugging or pulling.
- Use Recommended Products: Stick to the professional haircare products advised by your YL Stylist.
- Regular Maintenance: Schedule routine maintenance and re-lift appointments with your YL Stylist to check on the condition of your extensions and make any necessary adjustments.
- Protective Hairstyles: When sleeping or engaging in activities that may cause tangling or damage, consider wearing your hair in protective styles.
- Hydration: Keep your hair and extensions hydrated by using leave-in conditioners and extension safe oils, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends.
