What are the most popular forms of extensions?

*Temporary Hair Extensions come in the form of ponytails, falls, or wefts of hair, that can be clipped, taped, or glued to the head. *Hair Weaves Weft hair is hair that is sewn to a thin piece of material in strips, similar to a grass skirt. The “wefts” of hair are attached to a cornrow made on the scalp by means of gluing, bonding, taping, or sewing. They can be bulky, sometimes itchy at the scalp, and generally last several weeks.
* Fusion extensions , or Strand by Strand is a natural looking and long lasting method. Incorrectly called bonding, although the hair is bonded – technically bonding refers to another method of application. A small bond of Keratin is pre-attached to the ends of roughly 80 hairs per ‘strand’. The extension strands are then attached to small sections of your hair near the scalp by heating the Keratin and forming a small bond to your hair. The site of attachment is small so that the extensions can move seamlessly with your own hair. These extensions last 3 – 4 months, and should be removed or redone at that time. They can last 5-6 months with impeccable maintenence, however removal may become time consuming, and it is not always feasible – with any method or “system” of Fusion extensions.
* Cold Fusion. Similar to the Strand by Strand method, only the keratin bond is not heated, but rather ultrasonic waves liquify the Keratin to form the bond. Cold Fusion can also refer to bonding with a glue that is not heated.
* A variation of the weaving technique are the Braided hair extensions present in cornrows, twists, and locks. In these styles the braids are meant to be visible and extensions are simply worked into the braids themselves.
* Links, Microlinks, Beads, Tubes, Rings, or Locs is similar to the Strand, or Fusion method, only the extension hair is put through a small tube which is then squeezed shut in order to attach the hair to yours.
* Shrinks are similar to microlinks, the ‘links’ however are a type of adhesive that is heated to form a bond. Popular w/sythetic hair and dreads, though not exclusively.
* Taped
