With so many different types of hairstyles on the market today, you might be wondering what type of hair extensions you should choose. Talking about the clip in hair extensions, we not only have the traditional type of classic clip in hair extensions as you know. But we also want to mention a new product of clip in hair extensions today. That is seamless hair extensions. Is the seamless hair extensions really a good choice for you? Or classic clip in hair extensions? What are the difference between them? What makes them special products?
What are seamless hair extensions?
Seamless hair extensions are made using a
silicone backing at the top of the piece rather than wefts sewn to a piece of
lace or fabric. Clips are then hand sewn to the silicone backing. They are
designed for people who want to a lighter and thinner clip in extension method.
Seamless hair extensions lay completely flat to your head. They are super
lightweight that is made for thin hair.
Seamless hair extensions are perfect for
anyone with fine to normal hair as the seamless wefts are really lightweight
and virtually undetectable. It’s also a good option if you like creating sleek
looks as the wefts lay flat to your head so you can get your hair to lie super
smooth.
What are classic
clip-in hair extensions?
Classic clip in hair extensions are made by
sewing the hair onto a piece of durable fabric which is the traditional method
of making clip-in hair extensions. They help to add volume at your roots and
they totally transform your hair without any damage.
What are differences
between classic and clip-in hair extensions?
The biggest difference between the classic and
seamless hair extensions is the band. The classic clip in hair extensions use a
band made of fabric while the seamless hair extensions use a thin, silicone
wefts for ultimate comfort. The silicone weft allows the extensions to sit more
flatly on the head and are significantly lighter and thinner.
As someone who enjoy to have a fine and thin
hair, the seamless hair extensions are more suitable for you. What people love
about the seamless hair extensions is that it does not feel heavy on someone’s
head even after a day wearing them. It does not mean that the classic
extensions are heavy, they are also lightweight and easy to put on one’s head. Because
they are attached at the top of the real hair and usually have more hair
attached to create a luxurious volume for the real hair, then the feeling of wearing
them will always be a little heavier than seamless hair extensions.
Moreover, classic hair is better for leaving
the hair down than the seamless hair. If you’re someone who tends to wear their
hair down and has hair that falls on the medium-thick side, the classic set
might be the better option! The classic set definitely feels more thick and
voluminous and gives that “full glamour” look that everyone love for a night
out or special occasion!
Seamless is better for hairstyles. If you’re
someone who loves to style their hair in intricate braids and updos, you’ll like
the seamless extensions. The band is ultra lightweight and essentially
invisible which makes it much easier to work with when styling the hair.
Also, seamless is better for thinner hair. If
you’re someone with thin, fine hair, the seamless set is also probably the
better option for you! The silicone wefts are significantly thinner and
lighter, which means they lay more flat on the head. This ensures that you
won’t see any clips throughout the day and also minimizes any tugging or
heaviness you may feel with the classic hair extensions.
What are similarities
between classic and seamless hair extensions?
The clips that are on the classic and
seamless hair extensions are definitely the first similarity of these two clip
in hair extensions products. Clips are made with plastic material to insure a
tight grip and have a rubber backing that prevents them from slipping away from
your hair. They’re also slightly curved and are super lightweight for a really
comfortable fit.
Both classic and seamless hair extensions are
virtually undetectable. Once they are installed in the right way on our heads.
They will be secured firmly and tightly on our heads. The hair extensions will
blend well with your real hair and it is difficult to recognize the hair
extensions.
Which one is suitable for
beginners?
Both classic and seamless extensions work in
the same way, they’re both clip-ins and they’re both super easy to use. Which
one you go for will depend more on your hair type and length but it’s really
down to personal preference.
They are both easy to install on your hair and remove it out. With some simple steps: part and separate your hair, push in the extension, attach the extensions and snap the clip down. You locate the weft, separate the hair into sections, press and unclip them to remove the classic clip-in hair extensions and seamless hair extensions.
What’s the best option for
thick hair?
Classic clip in hair extensions tend to be a
best option for thick hair. They are thick enough and are attached to the roots
of your real hair so they will be more suitable for thick hair rather than for
thin hair. Thick hair will cover the hair clips well and hide your extensions
in your hair well. In contrary, seamless hair extensions tend to be easier to
conceal the thin hair as they lay flat to your head. They’re lightweight so
they’re comfortable to wear and won’t weigh down your locks.
What’s the best option for
dyeing?
We’d recommend going for the classic clip-in
hair extensions over the seamless hair extensions if you need to custom dye
your hair extensions. In fact, it’s difficult for the dye to penetrate the
silicone weft at the top of the extensions. You can combat this with some root
touch up spray, which works really well on the seamless wefts but it is
something to consider carefully.
What about shedding?
Classic clip-in hair extensions wefts can be
more prone to shedding than seamless hair extensions as unlike the seamless,
the classic hair is not bonded into silicone. That being said the classic hair
extensions are still really durable and there is very minimal shedding, if any
at all, so this is not something to be concerned about when choosing between
them.
How to care for classic
and seamless hair extensions?
Here
is our tips to make your classic and seamless hair extensions have a long and
happy life.
As
is the case with all clip-in extensions, you should have a routine prolong the
lifespan of classic and seamless hair extensions. Since they are made from 100% remy human hair,
they can be styled and washed just like your regular hair, however, the
more you wash and heat style your extensions, the shorter their lifespan will
be, so try to keep washing and product use to a minimum.
Unlike
your own hair, which receives natural hydration from the oils on your scalp,
hair extensions don’t have a natural hydration source. You should keep them
hydrated, that is a key to keeping them shiny and in good condition. When washing your classic or
seamless hair extensions, you should remember to condition them thoroughly. Try
to use alcohol-free and sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners as sulfates and
alcohols strip the hair of its natural oils that makes the hair become drier
and more prone to tangling and matting.
Overall, we love both the classic and
seamless extensions for different reasons! The seamless is amazing for braids
and hairstyles and feels so much lighter on my thin hair, but we do really love
the fullness of the classic clip-in hair so we will keep on recommending you purchasing
both for different purposes going forward.
Hopefully, this helped you get a general idea of which types of clip-in hair extensions would work better for you!
