Wearing hair extensions is the easiest way to completely change your look. It can easily reduce every-day hair maintenance, enhance the look of your hair and improve overall appearance. If you’ve always wanted longer hair instead of shorter hair, now’s the time to take the plunge and find the right hair extensions for your unique hairstyle.

The simple answer is that it all boils down to your personal preferences. The perfect choice will be the one that makes you feel the most comfortable and confident.  It will also depend on how long your hair is currently, how long you’d like your hair length to be once you’re wearing the extensions, and what kind of hair you have. It’s also important to take your height into consideration. The taller you are, the shorter your extensions will look, and vice versa.

That being said, the most common lengths preferred for Clip-In extensions are 14 inches, 16 inches, 18 inches, 20 inches, and 22 inches.

The picture below will help you determine the length of hair you’d like to have with your extensions.

You’re going to need a mirror and a measuring tape for this step to measure accurately.

Measuring your current hair length:

To measure your hair, place a measuring tape next to the middle of your ear (this is the level where you’ll install the extensions) and pull the tape to the end of your hair. If you have curly or wavy hair, you’ll need to pull your hair as straight as possible to gain an accurate measurement.

As extensions usually sit around ear level, you’re going to measure your hair from the top of your ear to the end of the hair. Place the measuring tape about 1 inch (2.5 cm) above your ear and measure the length of your hair. If you have wavy or curly hair, pull it straight before you measure.

Measuring desired hair extension length.

Place the measuring tape next to the middle of your ear and pull the tape down to the desired length you want your hair extensions to reach.

Clip-in and Halo hair extensions are best for your hair, as it is a temporary solution to longer and fuller hair. The clips are applied to the roots of your hair and do not cause any damage or hinder hair growth during wear, unlike other hair extension alternatives. Similarly, Halo extensions simply sit at the crown of your head via a wire. Hair Toppers are simply a wonderful option to conceal thinning hair or a receding hairline.

Semi-permanent hair extensions are likely to cause some form of damage to your hair due to the bonding, gluing, and constant pulling. However hair pieces like clip-ins, Halo, Ponytail & Toppers cause virtually no damage to your own natural hair. This is because they are simply clipped into the roots of your hair and are removed on a daily basis, so the pulling is minimal. If you are concerned for your hair health or the longevity of your hair, we suggest opting for DIY hair extensions & Toppers

However, there are some things to keep in mind to minimize damage when using clip-in hair pieces.

• Use high-quality hair pieces: Cheap or low-quality hair pieces can cause damage to your natural hair and scalp. Look for one made from 100% human hair, like HAIR4ALL, as they are less likely to cause damage. All hair pieces by H4A are guaranteed to be 100% Indian Real human hair.
• Be gentle when applying and removing the hair piece: Be gentle when attaching and removing the clips, as pulling or tugging on your hair can cause damage.
• Avoid overuse: Limit the amount of time you wear extensions & toppers, as wearing them for extended periods can cause stress on your natural hair.
• Be careful with styling: Avoid over-using heat-styling tools and over doing chemical treatments, as they can damage both the hair piece as well as your natural hair.

One of the best things about hair extensions & toppers is that they can be worn whenever and wherever you want! They are an excellent choice for any formal occasion or just for regular every-day use. Clip-ins & Toppers hence are a solution preferred by most females. Most people apply clip-ins or toppers for the duration as per requirement, taking them out at night before going to bed and putting them back on the next morning. Wearing hair extensions or toppers can easily reduce every-day hair maintenance, enhance the look of your hair and improve the overall appearance.

For Clip-ins, Toppers & Halo extensions, we do not recommend showering your hair with the clip-ins installed as you might have better results washing them separately. Chlorine from swimming pools, salt & dirt from ocean water can be damaging to your hair piece. Also, swimming with your hair piece clipped in may lead it to tangle with your existing hair, which can be damaging. Even our existing hair feels dry and tangled after swimming in a chlorinated pool or salt water. For this reason, you might do well to wear a shower cap when in the shower or a pool to prevent your hair piece from getting wet.

As long as you are using real human hair pieces, you will be able to treat it just like your own hair. This includes the ability to wash, dye, and heat style it.

When dyeing real human hair pieces, it’s best to steer clear of any bleach as this can damage the quality of the hair. While it is made of real human hair and can take to bleach, this may result in a quality change that may be hard to reverse. Unlike our own hair which is constantly being revitalized by the natural oils on our scalp, hair pieces will not get that same form of natural moisturizer, and as a result it may require more upkeep and care.

Just like your own hair, real human hair extensions can be washed. It’s safe to use most shampoos and conditioners that you’d use on your own natural hair, however, it is recommended to be cautious of using products that include ingredients that can dry out the hair. This includes sulfates and alcohols.

Before using any heat tools, spray heat protectant onto your hair piece as you would spray on your normal hair, and use a low to medium heat setting. Ensure the tool is constantly moving on your hair piece and never static in one place for too long in order to prevent heat damage.

One of the best things about clip in extensions & Toppers is that they can be applied and removed in a matter of minutes. As we roll around during sleep, we might be pulling the hair and putting a strain on the clips. It is therefore advisable to remove the hair piece at the end of the day and easily reinstall the next day.

Yes, Hair Extensions & Toppers are a great way for adding thickness to thin and fine hair, without causing any damage to our natural hair or hindering hair growth in the meantime.

Hair extensions can last upto 2 years depending on their quality, the general care they receive and how often they are worn. The important thing to remember is that hair extensions don’t have a natural hydration source like our own hair does, hence keeping them moisturized, reducing dryness and proper handholding is crucial to prolonging their lifespan. It’s important to note that the lifespan of hair extensions can vary greatly depending on the quality of extensions, how often you use them, and how well you take care of them.

Just like our natural hair, extensions & Toppers also shed. Shedding is a common occurrence with hair pieces and because they are made of 100% real human hair, one can expect some shedding throughout their lifespan. As we brush and style our hair, some fall-out may occur, so don’t be surprised or worried when this happens. This does not mean that we reduce the amount of time we brush our hair, as we can minimize shedding in other ways. Keep in mind that hair pieces are more likely to shed when they are dry and brittle.

Tangling is a normal occurrence with not just our natural hair but also with all types of hair pieces. This can happen due to a lack of constant brushing, weather, or dryness. One of the common reasons why hair pieces get tangled throughout the day is because of a combination of sweat, heat, and friction.

During the day, our body generates heat at the nape of our neck and scalp, and often times we sweat back there too. Human sweat is salty, acidic and can therefore dry out our hair. When we add additional hair volume to this combination and constantly move our head throughout the day, tangling will occur. Weather can also contribute to tangling, whether it be due to the wind, humidity or heat. Humidity would add a lot of moisture to the environment which will cause our hair to frizz up and tangle. Heat will do just the opposite as it will dry it out.

Wearing Hair pieces does not cause any adverse impact on the growth of your natural hair.

No, the Halo hair extension does not hurt or cause any damage to your hair as it is a stretchy wire. It will not cause any discomfort as the weight of the weft is evenly distributed across the crown of your head. Hair4All Halo extensions are lightweight and supremely comfortable!

Two different types of topper cap constructions are available to suit everyone’s different needs- a Silk topper and a Lace topper. Both options work well for most people, but some people prefer one over the other, or prefer one type for different occasions.

Silk Topper:

The Silk Top Base is constructed with a layer of lace and pure silk fabric on the top front of the cap. The Silk Base has the most realistic scalp look that the market has to offer to date. A Silk Base will perfectly hide the knots and you won’t need to worry about any other technique to make the knots invisible or less visible, because the knots are hidden under the silk base. Each hair is hand tied in to this silk area and the hair can be parted anywhere on the top. They are denser than a lace topper, which also means they are more durable, and will often last longer.

Lace Topper:

They are constructed with a fine mesh material on top called lace with individual hairs tied to the base, which can be a great choice if you want to simulate the front hairline with your own. They are very lightweight and breathable, perfect for those who want a lower density, like to style the hair back off their face & for city with hot climate.

Because they have the lace front they do not require blending with your own hair at the hairline, so they are a great option for those who have hair loss at the hairline.

Pros

1. Silk Topper is generally more durable than a lace Topper
2. Silk Base hair toppers give the appearance of a scalp that looks like your own. Silk Base is the most realistic topper base In the market today. With a Silk Base, there is no need to camouflage the knots when you part your topper.
3. The Silk Base offers versatile styling options as you can part your silk topper in any direction.

Cons

1. Difficulty Laying Flat: Due to the multiple layers in a Silk Base topper, Silk Base hair toppers are not as easy to lay flat on the head. Silk Bases may also encounter slight bulkiness on the crown. Due to this, Silk Bases usually take a little extra work to lay flat compared to other bases.
2. Due to its unique layered construction, the Silk Base can lack breathability compared to lace base. Silk Bases may also be slightly warmer to wear during the summer than the lace base

Pros

1. Lace sits ultra-flat against your head (silk tops have an extra layer so there is slight bulk at the hairline).
2. Lace Toppers are the only base types that perfectly mimic the look of a natural hairline.
3. Lace Base is considered the most breathable, due to the lace materials’ well-spaced and large pores.

Cons

1. Strands of hair are individually tied to a piece of sheer lace base creating a knot at the base, which can be visible around the hair parting line. However, the knots are less visible when the knots have been bleached.
2. Because of the delicate lace, Lace toppers are less durable as compared to the silk toppers.
