Clip-In Extensions Versus Hair Wefts

Getting longer hair certainly isn't easy, especially if you
have to wait well over 1 year to get that hair length that
you have always wanted. This is why you may be considering either clip in extensions or hair wefts for your hair � you want the longer hair, but you don't have the months, if not years, to wait for your hair to grow out. So which ones are
better?

Clip In Hair Extensions

Clip in hair extensions are increasingly popular as they cost significantly less than the other type of hair extensions that you would have fused to your hair. Most of the clip-in hair extensions are made of up synthetic fiber, though you can also find clip in hair extensions that are made up of human hair.

Given that the bonded type of hair extensions can easily cost you well over $1000 to have done well, you may be looking into choosing the clip in hair extensions. These types of extensions come in every shade and color, and are more often than not high heat friendly so you can still style your hair as per usual with the clip in hair extensions in.

The length and the width of the extensions also vary greatly, so you can better choose just where you will be placing the clip in hair extensions on your head. If you purchase a packet of hair extensions, expect to find several different widths and lengths in the package so that you can best use them to achieve the thickness or length that you want to acquire.

Hair Wefts

Not many people outside of the African-Caribbean community have heard of hair wefts. Hair wefts have been used for years by African-Caribbean women. A hair weft is a piece of synthetic hair that is sewn into one's hair, giving it a
semi-permanent effect (just as if you were to glue in hair
extensions).

A hair weft looks somewhat like a �half-wig�. The hair weft
clips from one side of your head to the other side of the
head, and is clipped under the top layer of hair. This will
help give your hair a fuller effect, especially as it covers
both sides of the head and the back.

You can find hair wefts in a number of different colors,
lengths and styles, from curly to wavy to straight.

Which is Best for Me?

Both are great for adding that extra length of hair, but
there are some benefits to using one above the other. For
example, clip in hair extensions allow you the option of
adding a lot of different contrasting colors and highlights
to your hair. You can create different looks for your hair
simply by clipping in a different color, rather than going
through the tedious and expensive task of dying your hair
different shades to give it that multidimensional effect.

If you want to obtain a thicker effect, then a hair weft is
definitely the way to go. Hair wefts instantly add more
thickness to any hair-do in just a few clicks, whereas clip
in hair extensions would take several packs to achieve this
very same effect.
