Understanding Hair Extensions At Noelle Salon Of Boston

Hair extensions are strands of hair that are attached to your natural hair to add length, volume, and thickness. They give you the opportunity to completely transform your hairstyle, whether you want full-bodied, luscious locks or just a little extra length for a special occasion. We stock all types of hair extensions from beaded sew-in wefts, tape-in extensions, Veila Pull-Thru, hair loss extensions; v-light, , keratin bonds and Combine.

The Basics of Hair Extensions; Keratin Bonds, Weft, Curl Textures

There are different application methods for hair extensions, such as keratin bonds, tape-in extensions, and beaded sew-in extensions. These methods allow the hair extensions to be securely attached to your own hair, ensuring a natural look and feel. The extensions come in a variety of lengths, colors, and textures, so you can customize your hair extensions to match your desired look. When it comes to the ideal length of your natural hair for hair extension application, it should be long enough to cover the bonds – approximately 1.5 to 2 inches in length, depending on your hair density.

Hair extensions can be styled, washed, and treated just like natural hair, with the right hair care products and tools. It is important to care for your hair extensions properly to maintain their integrity and prevent tangles or damage. With the right care, hair extensions can last for several months, depending on the application method and how well they are maintained. To prolong the health and look of your hair extensions and natural hair, we recommend using special hair products designed specifically for Noelle Salon. These products are formulated to enhance the longevity and appearance of both your extensions and your natural hair.

Virgin Hair vs Non-Virgin Hair Extensions

When it comes to hair extensions, you have the option of choosing between virgin hair extensions and non-virgin hair extensions. Virgin hair extensions are made from hair that has not been chemically processed, providing the highest quality and natural look. These extensions are often the preferred choice for those who want the most natural-looking hair extensions.

On the other hand, non-virgin hair extensions may have undergone treatments such as coloring, perming, or straightening, but they still offer a natural appearance. Non-virgin hair extensions tend to be more affordable and can be a good option if you want to experiment with different hair colors or styles. Both virgin hair extensions and non-virgin hair extensions can be of excellent quality, depending on the brand and supplier.
