Your Perfect Match - Discover The Most Recommended Hair Extensions

Thinking about getting hair extensions?

Whether you're dreaming of really long hair, wanting to add thickness, or just looking for a bit of extra oomph, hair extensions can work wonders. Here at Glamlox, we offer a wide range of different types of high-quality extensions made from Russian Mongolian Remy human hair that looks and feels great. 

With so many types out there, such as Nano Tips, Wefts, Tape-Ins, Stick-I Tips and Flat Tips,  it can feel a bit overwhelming trying to figure out which one's right for you. What works for one person might not be the best fit for another. 

This is where we can help. We will go through each of the most recommended hair extension types and explain how they work and help you decide which one could be your perfect match.

Finding Your Match

First off, there's no single "best" hair extension out there that suits everyone. What's "most recommended" really depends on you. Your hair is unique, your daily routine is unique, and what you want your hair to look like is unique.

To figure out what might work for you, have a quick think about these things:

• What's your main hair goal? Do you mostly want length, more thickness, or a bit of both?

• What's your natural hair like? Is it fine, medium, or thick? Is it straight, wavy, or curly? How healthy is it generally?

• What's your daily life like? Are you super active, or do you prefer a more relaxed pace? How much time are you happy to spend looking after your hair each day?

• What's your budget, and how long do you want them to last? All Glamlox extensions can be reused, but how often they need refitting can vary a bit.

Answering these questions will give you a good starting point.

Matching Your Hair Type

Your natural hair's thickness and condition are big factors in picking extensions that will blend well, feel comfortable, and stay hidden.

• For Fine or Thin Hair:
  If your hair is on the thinner side, you'll want extensions that are super discreet and don't pull too much. Nano Tip Extensions are a brilliant choice here. Their tiny bonds are much smaller than traditional micro rings, making them almost impossible to spot, even if your hair is quite fine. They move naturally with your hair, too. Tape-In Extensions are another excellent option. Their flat, thin bonds sit really flat against your head, spreading the weight evenly and putting very little stress on delicate hair. They're also super quick to put in if you're looking for a fast change.
  
  

• For Medium Hair:
  If you have medium-thick hair, you can comfortably wear a wider range of extension types. Weft Extensions (especially hand-tied wefts) are a great pick for adding noticeable volume and length that blends in nicely. Flat Tip Extensions and Stick-I Tip Extensions also work really well. They're individual strands that feel natural and are quite tough. Your choice here often just comes down to what kind of attachment you prefer.
  
  

• For Thick Hair:
  If your natural hair is thick and full, you'll need extensions that can keep up and blend in properly. Weft Extensions (both machine-made and hand-tied) are often recommended here because you can get a good amount of hair in one go, giving you that impressive fullness and length that matches your natural volume. Stick-I Tip Extensions and Flat Tip Extensions are also solid choices, offering strong, individual bonds that can handle thicker hair while still letting it move freely. These methods give you a secure, long-lasting attachment.
  
  

The goal is always to make your extensions look like your own hair, so picking the right type for your natural hair's thickness is really important.

What Extensions Do for Length, Volume, and Style

What you want your hair to look like plays a big part in choosing your extensions. Are you going for a dramatic change, a subtle boost, or something you can style in loads of different ways?

• For Seriously Long Hair & a Big Impact:
  If you've always dreamt of hair flowing past your waist, reaching your hips, then our longer extensions are what you need. Our 24-inch, 26-inch, 28-inch, and even 30-inch extensions in Weft, Stick-I Tip, or Flat Tip styles are perfect for this. They give you the thickness needed for that gorgeous, full look right down to the ends.
  
  

• For Maximum Volume & Fullness:
  If adding volume is your top priority, Weft Extensions are fantastic. They add a lot of density and body quickly. Nano Tips and Tape-In Extensions are also great for adding discreet volume, especially if you have finer hair around the top or sides.
  
  

• For a Subtle Boost or Filling Out:
  Sometimes you just want to fill out thinner areas, make your ends look thicker, or add a little extra length to a bob. For these more subtle changes, Tape-In Extensions and Nano Tips are often the best bet because they're really discreet and lightweight, giving you a natural-looking boost without being too much.
  
  

• Styling Your Hair:
  All Glamlox Remy human hair extensions can be styled with heat (just remember to always use heat protectant!). But if you love putting your hair up or trying fancy styles, Nano Tips, Stick-I Tips, and Flat Tips give you loads of flexibility because they're individual strands. Tape-ins are also very discreet for most styles, while Wefts give you amazing volume for big, bouncy looks.
  
  

How Long Will They Last?

Your daily routine and how much time you're happy to spend on hair care are important things to think about.

• For Active Lifestyles:
  If you're often exercising or swimming, you'll need extensions that can handle regular washing and movement. Weft Extensions and Stick-I/Flat Tip Extensions are generally tough and secure, designed to last even with more frequent washing. The main thing here is to make sure the bonds are completely dry after you've been active.
  
  

• For People Who Like it Easy:
  While all extensions need some looking after, Tape-In Extensions are often seen as pretty low-maintenance once they're in. They're quick to put in and sit comfortably, making them a popular choice if you want beautiful hair without a huge daily fuss. They're also usually quicker to move up at your salon appointment.
  
  

• Long-Term Wear & Reusing Them:
  Good news, all extensions are made from top-quality Remy human hair, so they're designed to be reused! This makes them a smart investment over time. How long they last really depends on how well you look after them at home and how regularly you go for your salon check-ups. 
  
  

Why a Chat with a Stylist is Key

Trying to work out all the extension options by yourself can feel like a puzzle. That's why having a chat with a professional is the best next step.

A personalised consultation with an approved stylist is super important for finding your perfect match. During this chat, your stylist will:

- Check your natural hair: Theyll look at its thickness, texture, health and how it grows. 

- Talk about your hair goals and daily life: This helps them understand exactly what youre hoping for and what will realistically fit into your routine. 

- Suggest the best extension type for you: Theyll use their expert knowlegde to recommend the ideal option. 

- Do a custom colour match: This is crucial to make sure your new extensions blend in perfectly and cant be spotted. 

- Explain the fitting and aftercare: Theyll tell you extactly what to expect when your extensions are put in and how to look after them at home. 

Choosing the right hair extensions is an exciting step towards getting the hair you've always wanted. By thinking about what you need and getting advice from a professional, you can confidently pick the extensions that not only look fantastic but also fit seamlessly into your life, giving you that lasting confidence and great hair days.
