Different Types of Hair Extensions

There are different types of extensions available to choose from. At Salon DH Estetika, we only focus on the methods that are most effective and healthiest for your hair. The methods we offer include keratin fusion extensions, tape-in extensions, Nano link beaded extensions, and the VIDA hair method. Take a look below for a further explanation of the various options.

• Nano Link Beaded Extensions
  These types of extensions are applied by looping single strands with tiny silicone Nano links through your own hair. This method is quick and easy! It offers no in-between applications maintenance required, no styling limitations, and they are easily reusable usually up to 3-4 times. Nano link beaded extensions use 100% human Remy hair.
• Keratin Fusion Extensions
  These types of extensions are fused to your hair using keratin bonds that are attached to the ends of the extensions. Heat application is used in order to fuse them. Since this method uses a strand-by-strand application, the results allow for a delicate invisible effect. There are no styling limitations, some in-between applications maintenance required, and the extensions can be reused. This method uses 100% Human Hair.
• Tape-In Extensions
  With tape-in extensions, wide bonds of tape are used to attach to your hair. Your own hair clamps do
  wn between the tape to hold them in. These types of extensions are easy to apply and reusable up to 3-4 times. This method is quick, comes with some styling limitations, and uses 100% human Remy hair.
• VIDAHAIR Extensions
  VIDAHAIR extensions use Trimmer Technology which is a high precision tool for perfect, transparent, extremely thin applications. It allows for cold application and can apply to your hair without any superimposition. This method offers the most invisible and insensible hair and uses 100% human Remy hair for the application. Hair cannot be reused.
