Clip-On Extensions

Now that we’ve broken the sound barrier and addressed weaves in general, let’s discuss a newer method of adding hair that is starting to take hold in the AA community, which is the clip-on hair extension. Now, these extensions are not really for those looking for a protective style like a sew-in. When you have clip-in extensions, you are simply adding length (ad possibly thickness) to your hair in a really easy, non-committal fashion. These types of extensions are gaining popularity due to the fact that one doesn’t have to commit to them over a length of time, like with a sew-in and because they don’t require being glued in like fusion extensions. In addition, most stylists say that they don’t tug on the hair and still allow the scalp to continuously get more oxygen than it might get with a sew-in weave. So, if you are a lady who wants a weave just for a quick fix of added length or thickness then clip-ons may just need to be something that you investigate or put on your Christmas (or Kwanza; Eid; Hannukah, etc…) List.
