HAIR EXTENSION METHODS

There are a number of methods used to install hair extensions. I specialize in four different installation methods that I know are healthy for all hair types. The extensions offered will not add any unwanted stress to your natural hair. I also only work with these hair extensions as they are the most popular and appear most natural when installed.

Understanding the different hair extension methods, and the benefits of each, will allow you to determine which method is best for you. Depending on your natural hair, look, style and feel that you wish to achieve with hair extensions, Ultimate Lengths promises that there is a method perfect for you and your specific hair requirements

Tape-In Extensions

This is the second most popular hair extension method. Tape-In extensions are a great alternative to other more permanent hair extension methods that last 3-4 months. These extensions are meant to be worn for a short period of time before requiring re-positioning. This method is ideal for women who are seeking perfect hair extensions for any occasion and don't want the hassle and uncomfortable experience of wearing clip in extensions. 
These extensions are small strips of hair with adhesive tape on one side.

                        HAIR EXTENSIONS

Nano Ring Hair Extensions

​This method of extensions is becoming increasingly popular. The installation process works exactly the same as micro rings, however, the beads are significantly smaller than the standard micro ring. 

​These extensions are attached by fitting a nano bead onto a section of your hair, sliding an extension that has a thin metal tip into the middle of the bead and clamping it shut. The hair coloured beads hold the extensions firmly in place. 

Hot Fusion Hair Extensions

​This is the most popular hair extension method available! It is also the most permanent and durable extension method and my handmade bonds make it perfect for all healthy natural hair.

This method consists of taking a single individual keratin tipped extension and bonding it to a small section of your hair with a heated applicator tool.

​These hair extensions are perfect if you want a complete hair makeover or if you just 

Micro Ring Hair Extensions

If you want to wear extensions that are not so permanent, but still give you a natural movement to your hair,  then these are for you. 

​These extensions attach by fitting a small, silicone lined aluminium ring onto a section of your natural hair, sliding an individual stick tip hair extension into the middle of the ring and clamping it shut. The rings, which are finished in a matching hair colour,  hold the extensions firmly in place.
