How to Choose the Right Hair Extensions for Your Hair Type

Let’s face it—hair extensions don’t exist in a single size. Choosing the ideal set is all about your hair type, your lifestyle, and the amount of time you’re willing to spend styling each day. Here’s how to get the ideal extensions that will make you look fantastic (without damaging your hair).

Step 1: Know Your Hair Type

Do you have thin or fine hair? Use tape-in extensions. They rest flat on your head and don’t tug like clip-ins.

Thick to medium hair? You have more choices—clip-ins, wefts, or sew-ins.

Kinky-textured hair? Choose kinky-curly or deep wave extensions if you want a smooth blend.

Step 2: Always choose human hair over synthetic.

Synthetic hair is okay for a costume party. But to have high-quality, long-lasting, and heat-stylist able extensions, you need to opt for 100% Remy human hair.

Step 3: Match Your Colour—Just Right

Pro tip: When in doubt, match extensions to your ends, not your roots. Or better yet, get colour-matched professionally—it’s what we do here at Artistic Hair Extensions for a reason.

Step 4: Select Your Path Based on Your Life.

Low maintenance? Clip-ins are quick and convenient.

Want all-day glamour? Opt for tapes or wefts done by a professional stylist.

Gym rat or swimmer? Sew-ins or weft extensions will not budge during your grind.

Last Word

Choosing the right extensions isn’t simply a question of looks—there is also the issue of hair well-being. At Artistic Hair Extensions, we ensure that you understand what you are selecting to avoid wasting time (or money) on the wrong product.
