Are Hair Extensions Right For Me?
Extensions are often associated with dramatic length, but many clients choose them for more subtle reasons. They can help you add volume to fine, limp hair; create a more even shape; and even add a pop of colour.
Our extensions experts offer a professional fitting to ensure your extensions feel comfortable and look natural. During your consultation we will discuss which extensions fitting method is right for you and which colours would best suit your needs. Most clients opt for the perfect blend with their base colour but we can also offer fashion shades for a bit of fun and contrast.
Tape Extensions Vs Bonded Extensions or Wefts
Leah Durrant offers tapes, bonds and wefts, and each method has its own strengths. Your extensionist will consider your natural hair density, how you wear your hair day to day, how often you exercise, and how much time you want to spend on maintenance at home.
Why Choose Tape Extensions? Tape extensions are popular when you want a noticeable result with a lightweight feel. They sit flat against the head and can be a great option for adding fullness and length while keeping the finish smooth. They are also a cost-effective option. Tape extensions can work particularly well if you wear your hair down often and prefer a sleek finish. A consultation is important because placement matters, especially around the hairline and parting, so that the tapes remain discreet.
Tape extensions typically need regular maintenance appointments to keep them sitting correctly as your hair grows. Looking after them well at home also helps the tapes stay neat between visits.
Why Choose Bonded Extensions? Bonded extensions are individual strands attached using small bonds. This method is often chosen when you want a very personalised result, because the placement can be tailored to how your hair falls and where you want to add density. Bonded extensions suit clients who want detailed placement and a finish that blends seamlessly through the hair.
As with most extensions, they will require careful home care, particularly when brushing and drying, to avoid unnecessary tension at the root. Bonded extensions benefit from gentle handling, thorough drying at the roots, and regular maintenance to keep everything looking consistent and to protect the condition of your natural hair.
Why Choose Weft Extensions? A weft is when your hair extensions are applied in rows. Wefts are a well loved option for creating fullness and length. They are also a popular choice for clients who like a consistent density and enjoy the feel of having more hair to work with when styling.
As with all extensions, wefts need routine maintenance as your natural hair grows. Your extensions expert will advise on the right reappointment schedule for your hair and the fitting technique used.
