Expert Guide
Understand your hair extension options
Explore the differences between sew-in, K-tip, tape-in, I-tip, nano bead and weft extensions. Use this guide to prepare questions for your consultation, then explore each method in more detail.
The right method depends on your natural hair, desired length and fullness, styling habits and maintenance routine. Our Manhattan team will assess your hair and help you plan your next step.
KNOW YOUR METHOD
Traditional Sew-In
A traditional sew-in uses a braided foundation, with wefts sewn onto the braids. The foundation and placement are planned around your natural hair and the finish you want.
Ask your specialist about preparation, what hair to bring and the maintenance plan for your sew-in.
