There are several types of hair stretching and each of them uses a specific technique. What they have in common, then, is the possibility of creating thicker and longer locks.

But whoever dreams of doing so must first know what methods are available. After all, their plurality makes some more suitable for some types of hair and scalp. On the other hand, others will be better for other people.

With that in mind, today we separate a series of information about hair extensions. So, be sure to check out the main methods below. So, guarantee the best choice and the hair you've always dreamed of!

Below, we separate the 10 main types of hair extensions. That way, keep reading to see what they are and which one to choose to conquer long strands and full hair!

The first type of capillary stretching that we brought is the one with Tic Tac. That is, with clips that are next to the wire extensions. In this case, we have the cheapest and simplest stretch. After all, you can put it on and take it off at home.

That is, this type of hair stretching does not depend on professional follow-up. Therefore, there is no application of glue or knots. The strands simply join yours, natural, with the application of a barrette that does not harm your scalp.

Thus, this type of stretching is also not permanent. In other words, its placement occurs for specific events or special situations. At the end of the day or event, then, just remove it without major problems.

This is, of the types of capillary stretching, the healthiest and least aggressive. However, it is temporary. Also, it requires weekly care with the synthetic or natural threads of the extension.

Another possibility to lengthen your strands and also make them fuller is with the microlink. It corresponds to the fixation of the stretching threads with small metal rings. Thus, its application takes place at the beginning of the length of the natural strands of your scalp.

The rings do not rust, so you can wash your hair normally. In addition, they are tiny and therefore do not appear or cause volume in the root region. 

The technique is not aggressive. However, it requires monitoring by an experienced professional. The maintenance of the wicks and appliqués must occur every 03 months.

Another type of hair extension is the Italian knot. It also attaches strands of mega hair to the roots of your natural hair. However, instead of using a metal ring, as in the previous case, it makes use of manual knots.

Therefore, it is very natural for this type of capillary application to put pressure on the scalp. Also, pull it. In this way, it is normal for there to be pain for 03 days after application. However, this pain can last longer and even cause inflammation in the scalp.

The technique of hair stretching with duct tape. He is one of the least aggressive, as he sticks the additional strands to the natural ones with a kind of double-sided tape. Thus, it can last up to 03 months according to the frequency of washes and is quite natural.

Continuing the types of capillary stretching, we have the “Jamaican knot” type. It corresponds to the sewing of a band with strands of strands in natural hair. Thus, it is like a "line of wires". 

In this case, it is necessary to have at least 1.5 cm of hair, as this is where the hair band is located. 

Another successful type of hair extension is the Great Lengths, beloved by some celebrities. Here there is the use of a glue. It lends itself to fixing the new strands to your natural ones, at the height of the root (about 1.5 cm from it).

The glue is made from proteins and keratin. Additional strands cannot be taken at home. Therefore, it is necessary to go to the professional for the maintenance and / or removal of the wires.

Another type of hair extension is Laser Beamer. He also makes use of glue, but in a very different way. This, therefore, the professional makes use of a laser device. Thus, at the same time that it melts the synthetic keratin, it unites it with that of the natural threads.

And this, then, acts as a glue that unites the new strands to those you already have on your scalp. In the end, then, a very natural and beautiful result is achieved. In addition, the glue is more natural and fixes the strands well without causing pain.

Here we have another technique that uses keratin glue. Although she also uses synthetic and natural keratin, from the threads themselves, the devices are different. In this case, the tool corresponds to a heated tweezers.

Once again, these types of hair extensions can only be applied and removed by the responsible professional. 

The penultimate of the types of hair extensions that we bring is the sewn canvas. She is quite interesting for those who have short natural strands. In this case, canvases with natural threads are sewn along the root of the threads that already belong to you.

In the end, it is very similar to the Jamaican knot technique, although it is even more discreet. The duration of the technique is from 02 to 08 weeks. Maintenance or removal should always be done at the beauty salon, with the responsible professional.

Finally, there is also the technique of stretching the strands of hair with intertwining. In this case, the locks of the appliqué are braided together with the natural strands and the scalp. Thus, it gives volume and length to the strands.

However, the technique takes time, in addition to being painful. After all, the braids pull the scalp. In addition, this one, among the types of capillary stretching, is more difficult to maintain at home. That is, they take longer to wash and dry.
