At Art of Impact Salon and Spa, we believe in the transformative power of hair extensions. Whether you’re looking to add volume, length, or a touch of glamour to your natural locks, we offer a variety of extension options to suit your needs. With the right care, many of our extensions can offer up to a year of stunning beauty. Let’s dive into the details of our popular extension types and how to maintain them for maximum longevity.
Beaded Rows, Tape-Ins & I-Tips: Versatile and Sustainable
Our beaded rows, tape-ins, and I-tip extensions are favorites among clients for their versatility and sustainability. These extensions can be reused multiple times, making them an eco-friendly and cost-effective choice.
Beaded Rows: These extensions involve attaching wefts of hair using tiny beads, offering a seamless blend with your natural hair. They’re perfect for those who want a natural look with added volume and length.
Tape-Ins: Lightweight and discreet, tape-in extensions are applied using medical-grade adhesive. They lie flat against the scalp, making them nearly undetectable. Tape-ins are ideal for clients who want a quick and easy way to enhance their hair.
I-Tips: Also known as microbead extensions, I-tips are applied strands using small metal beads. They provide a natural look and allow for significant styling versatility.
With proper maintenance, these reusable extensions can last up to a year, providing you with luscious, voluminous styles without the need for frequent reinvestment. Regular salon visits for adjustments and touch-ups will ensure they remain secure and blend seamlessly with your natural hair.
K-Tip Extensions: Natural and Discreet
K-tip (keratin tip) extensions are renowned for their natural appearance and discreet application. Each strand of hair has a keratin tip that is fused to your natural hair using a heating tool. This method creates a strong bond that allows for natural movement and styling flexibility.
Unlike other extension types, K-tips are single-use. Each application requires a fresh set of extensions to ensure the highest quality and adherence to your hair’s unique needs. While they can’t be reused, the trade-off is the unparalleled naturalness and discretion they offer, making them a favorite for special occasions or a short-term transformation.
Care is Key: Maintaining the Longevity of Your Extensions
Whether you opt for reusable extensions like beaded rows, tape-ins, and I-tips, or single-use K-tips, the longevity of your extensions greatly depends on your care routine. Here are some tips to keep your extensions looking pristine:
Gentle Washing: Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to keep your extensions clean without stripping away moisture. Gently massage your scalp and avoid tugging on the bonds.
Avoiding Heat Near Bonds: Heat can weaken the bonds of your extensions. When styling, use heat-protectant products and avoid applying direct heat near the roots where the extensions are attached.
Regular Maintenance: Schedule regular appointments at Art of Impact Salon and Spa for adjustments and touch-ups. Our experts will ensure your extensions are secure and blend naturally with your hair.
Brush Carefully: Use a soft-bristle brush to detangle your hair, starting from the tips and working your way up. Be gentle to avoid pulling on the extensions.
Protect While Sleeping: Tie your hair in a loose braid or ponytail before bed to prevent tangling. Use a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction.
