What hair extensions look the most natural?

There was a time when you could change your hairstyle dramatically and quickly with a wig. But it was not convenient, not practical and often very noticeable. When the technique of extensions appeared, it became much easier to get a beautiful hairstyle, especially for those who were not rewarded by nature with sufficient volume of their own hair. But many people still wonder how to make hair extensions look natural.

In the Ivana Farisei beauty salon in London, you can get short hair extensions, keratin micro extensions, and nanohair extensions. You can choose donor hair to match the exact tone, or you can make coloured extensions. You can buy hair for extensions from us and order the service of pre-bonding it for further use. You can have keratin straightening, hair extensions replacement, or hair extensions removal. And we know how to make the extensions look as natural as possible.

Natural looking extensions: why do it?

When you get hair extensions, of course, you want them to look like your own. So why does it at all? There are many reasons for this:
  • With extensions, you can quickly add volume and length to your hair.
  • This procedure will help those girls who cannot grow their hair to the desired length to have long hair.
  • If you have been a victim of an inept hairdresser and received a bad haircut, and it’s impossible to fix it because there is not enough length. Then the extensions will help to fix the situation.
  • If you want to experiment with coloured strands, but don't want to spoil your hair with dye. Coloured extensions will help.
  • If you need to quickly change your image for an event or holiday. Or quickly get the desired length.
  • When your own strands are thin and sparse, extensions will help add the desired volume.
But to make it look aesthetically pleasing and beautiful, you need to make the extensions as invisible as possible. Therefore, you should carefully study all existing methods and choose the most suitable one for your case.

The most natural looking hair extension method. Which one to choose?

Whichever method you choose, first of all, pay attention to the quality of the donor material. It’s better if it’s natural. Of course, synthetic is cheaper. But if you save on the material, you may not get the result you expect.

Therefore, it’s clear that the most obvious hair extensions are those made with synthetic donor strands. They can look untidy and stand out against your own hair. But natural donor strands can also have their own nuances. And to avoid undesirable results, you also need to choose the right method of extensions. It can be:
  • Hair on clips. This method helps you change your hairstyle at any time. But it’s not suitable for everyone. You can use this method from time to time. If you don't have enough volume in your hair, why not add a hair clip? But you can't grow a lot of hair this way. And it can also fly off at the most inopportune moment.

  • Tape method. A special adhesive tape with donor strands is attached to your own hair. This technique is the least time-consuming. The extensions are quick to apply and quick to remove. You can do such extensions if you plan to wear your hair loose most of the time. After all, you will have a limited choice of hairstyles. For example, you cannot make a high ponytail, because then the extensions will become noticeable. Thus, you will constantly have the question: how to style hair extensions to look natural. Also, this method isn’t suitable for thin hair, because the extensions will weigh it down.
  • Hollywood method. First, a tight braid is braided. Then a braid is attached to the braid. This is a strip of donor hair fastened together. The weft is firmly sewn to the braid with special tools. Such extensions aren’t suitable for those with sensitive scalp because of the tight weave. And also, thin hair. Because Hollywood extensions require a wide base for attachment, a wide braid.
  • Keratin micro and nano extensions. This method can be called the most natural hair extensions. Donor strands are attached with keratin microbonds. With the help of one such bond, you can do one strand of one gram. If the natural hair is thin, nanohair extensions are used. Such a bond can attach only half a gram of donor strand.
  • Afro hair extensions. For this technique, a special synthetic material called canecalon is used, which is woven into the natural hair in a short, thin braid. There are many nuances of care. Such extensions don’t look very natural, and the attachment can be noticeable.
  • Micro-ring extensions. Extended strands are fixed with the help of special silicone rings. The fastenings can be noticeable, especially on thin hair.

The most natural looking hair extensions method and the benefits of keratin bonds

  • Keratin bonds extensions help to achieve the most natural looking effect among all other types of hair extensions. The bonds themselves are invisible and weightless. Keratin hair extensions are very comfortable, and the transition zone from your own hair to the extensions is almost imperceptible.
  • Using keratin extensions, you can even do the extension for a short haircut. With such hair, you can make any hairstyle, and even in a high ponytail, the attachment points will not be noticeable. If the extensions are done professionally, they don’t harm natural hair and can be worn for a long time. And depending on the growth rate of your own strands, it can take from two to four months before hair replacement.
After keratin hair extensions, the hair not only looks natural, but also feels the same. It doesn’t require any special care. Of course, you will need to follow a few simple rules, but it’s not difficult at all.

But what if you want to get the most natural looking hair extensions. Our specialists at the Ivana Farisei London beauty salon will be happy to help you with this.
