What are hair extensions?
Hair extensions are clusters of hair that are attached to your natural hair or scalp. This often done to add length to your hair style. It can also be used to thicken your hair or to add highlights. This is typically done by joining strands or small clusters (about 30 pieces of hair) to the scalp. Wefts are slightly larger sheets of hair that are joined at the top, and they are free flowing at the ends. Hair extensions should not be more than twice the length of your hair.
