When you think of hair extension methods, you might first imagine adding dramatic length to your hair. However, as the industry evolves, the capabilities of hair extensions have expanded significantly. Nowadays, extensions are not just about length; they offer volume, enhance everyday hairstyles, and have improved durability. There are numerous hair extension methods available, allowing stylists to tailor the extensions to best suit your needs. In this blog, we’ll explore some of the most popular extension methods and their unique application processes.
Tape-Ins: Sleek and Seamless
Tape-ins involve pre-taped wefts that are attached directly to the hair using medical-grade adhesive. Typically lasting 4-6 weeks, they require professional removal using a special spray. This method is favored for its ability to lay flat against the scalp, providing an undetectable, natural appearance. Available in various textures, tape-ins must be applied by an expert stylist and demand regular maintenance to remain in top condition.
NBR: The Game-Changer
Natural Beaded Rows (NBR) is a hand-tied method that revolutionized the extension industry. It utilizes a foundation of beads and string to attach hand-tied hair wefts, making it highly customizable and minimally invasive to your natural hair. At Garnish, we recommend NBR for its seamless blend and durability—lasting up to 6 months with proper care. However, only stylists specially trained in this technique can perform this method, ensuring precision and quality.
Clip-Ins: Flexibility and Fun
Clip-ins are one of the oldest and most commonly used methods due to their ease of application. These extensions can be self-applied and removed daily, making them ideal for temporary use. A quality set of clip-ins can last anywhere from 7 months to a year, depending on frequency of use. They are perfect for adding a bit of length and volume for special occasions or experimenting with different styles.
Crowns: A Solution for Hair Loss
At Garnish, we also offer crown extensions, designed specifically for individuals experiencing hair loss or thinning at the scalp. Crowns can be temporary or permanent, tailored to fit the lifestyle and needs of the guest. This method is not only about aesthetics but also offers a practical solution for those looking to regain fullness in their hair.

Extensions offer a dynamic range of styling options that go beyond traditional uses. Whether you’re seeking a temporary change for special events or a permanent solution to hair loss, there’s an extension method that fits your needs. At Garnish, our goal is to ensure that each guest feels confident and satisfied with their choice of extensions, guided by our expertise and commitment to quality.
