House of Lox – 5 Methods of Hair Extensions
La Weave – Weft Extensions
La Weave hair extensions are a revolutionary new type of hair extensions that are easy to apply and much gentler on your hair. The extensions are sewn into the hair using cotton & thread and micro beads. Its much quicker than most extensions and allows your hair to grow naturally. Lasting for around 6-8 weeks the high quality extensions are 100% reusable and refitted when required.
This method is ideal for people on the go and can transform all types of hair. It’s free from glue and heat and is kinder on your natural hair.
Tape extensions
Tape extensions are our most popular form of hair extensions and are generally suitable for all hair types. Tape-in hair extensions consist of pairs of one–inch wide pre-taped hair wefts that are applied to both sides of a section of your natural hair to create a “sandwich’.
This method is fast, requires no heat tools or chemicals and does not damage or interfere with your natural hair in any way. Each application of tape-in hair extensions generally lasts from 6-12 weeks depending on the texture and growth rate of your natural hair. When you are due for a maintenance appointment, your extensions are then removed, re–taped & then reapplied fresh to your hair once again.
Providing you take correct care of your extensions this method means that they can be re-used for multiple applications. Typically our clients will get anywhere from 4-12 months with one set.
Tape extensions can be used to add volume, length, thickness and / or colour variation to all hair types, and are an excellent choice for a semi-permanent change or rapid transformation to your natural look that can be easily removed when you wish. The application process is completed in approximately one hour and involves no damage or discomfort.
Keratin Bond Extensions
Keratin bond extensions are another of our most popular hair extension methods. Keratin bonds consist of small strands of hair which are applied individually to sections of your hair using a heat tool.
Many of our clients who are regular users of hair extensions opt for keratin bonds due to their versatility and longevity. Keratin bonds adhere and grow with your natural hair, so they can last 3-6 months before they require to be removed. Once removed they must be replaced with new bonds if they are to be reapplied.
Installation of a full head of keratin bond extensions takes approximately two hours, and the number of bonds required will vary according to your desired style and the volume of your natural hair.
Micro-Bead Extensions
Micro-bead extensions, also known as i-tip & micro–link extensions, are an older-method of hair extensions nevertheless they are preferred by some people as they are a less permanent alternative to keratin bonds but with a similar look and feel.
Much like the bond method they are applied to individual sections of hair but are attached by clamping a metal bead with a silicone inner lining to protect the hair & prevent damage.
Micro-bead extensions allow easy movement on the head. The application can last anywhere from six weeks to three months depending on the hair type & growth speed. Once removed we can reapply the same hair with fresh beads. Micro-bead extensions can last from 6-12 moths providing correct care is taken.
Clip In Extensions
Clip ins are a great temporary measure for adding length & volume to your hair and many of our clients use them as a way to get a boost or new look for a special occasion or event.
Easily fitted and removed, they can be re-used many times offering you an affordable and user-friendly way to boost your lox whenever you want to.
