Different Hair Styles With Hair Extensions

Hair extensions are being used by a number of people as a solution for short unattractive hair. Most people who use hair extensions do so either to create a temporary change with different hair styles or for lengthening their short brittle hair that does not grow properly on its own.

Amongst the many different types of hair extension methods, a popular type is one in which glue sticks are used on an individual’s hair to attach the extension onto the glued areas. In this method, a hair stylist melts resin adhesive sticks for attaching the hair extensions. The glue in glue sticks is usually of a light tint, which blends in well with all hair colors. This eliminates the need to color the hair over the area where the extension is attached, to reduce visibility of the attachment juncture and makes it easy to wear a different hair style.

A few types of hair extension procedures that make use of glue are the I-Tip, U-Tip, hot glue gun and the bonding method. In the I-Tip method, an “I” shaped glue is already applied on the tip of the hair. The hair extension is then attached to this area of the individual’s hair using rings. While using the rings, there’s no heat applied to the hair. The U-Tip procedure is similar; the only difference being that the shape of the glue applied is in the form of “U”.

Most parlors and beauty salons use a glue gun while making use of glue sticks for hair extension. The material for natural black hair extensions can be acquired easily. However, this type of hair has a noticeably different texture from a Caucasian’s natural hair and therefore, on Caucasian women they just don’t look right. European black hair, usually obtained from Spain and Italy, is of better quality but it costs more and can help create many different hair styles.
