Hair Extensions

Voluminous and healthy hair isn’t just aesthetically appealing. It’s a confidence booster. Hair extensions are a highly convenient option if you are battling hair loss due to a medical or genetic condition or simply want to change your style.

At Custom Hair, we have already helped hundreds of people in the Tampa Bay area feel beautiful and confident again. We invite you to schedule an appointment to choose the most naturally-fitting human hair extensions for your needs today.

Types of Hair Extensions

At Custom Hair, we will only promote and service  extensions and methods that will not cause damage to your own growing,  healthy hair.  

Clip-in Extensions

Human hair clip-in extensions are temporary hair extensions that can be easily clipped onto your natural hair. They are a quick way to add length and volume without needing a professional application.  These extensions work best for women with a full head of hair on the top, looking only to add length or fullness on the sides and back of the head.  At Custom Hair, we recommend that clip-in extensions be worn for special occasions or infrequent use to avoid the possibility of breakage to your natural hair.

Tape-in Extensions

Tape-in extensions involve attaching a light-weight,  hand-tied remy human hair extension to the hair using a medical grade adhesive tape. These extensions are thin  and lay flat against the head. At Custom Hair,  we have had great success with tape-in remy  human hair extensions that mimic the natural root and have proven to be virtually invisible at the attachment site.  More importantly,  with proper care and maintenance these extensions will not damage your natural hair.  Professional installation is required and while the hair extensions can often be reused, the extensions will need to be removed and reattached every 6-8 weeks.

Other Extension types

At Custom Hair, we will only promote and service  extensions that will not cause damage to your own growing,  healthy hair.  It has been our experience that many other application methods can lead to breakage and hair loss of the natural hair after extended use. We may not endorse some of the methods listed below.

 * Fusion Extensions, *Micro-link Extensions, *Sew-in Extensions and Hair Weave applications are examples of attachment methods that can lead to temporary or permanent hair loss after extended use.  These methods should be used for a short term solution and not considered for long-term wear. 

*Fusion Extensions

Fusion extensions are hair extensions that are fused to your natural hair with a keratin bond adhesive strip. 

*Micro-link Extensions

Micro-link extensions involve attaching small sections of hair to your natural strands using tiny metal beads or rings. 

*Sew-in Extensions

Sew-in extensions involve braiding your natural hair and sewing hair wefts onto the braids. 

Hair extensions can be an excellent alternative to wigs and hairstyles that enhance hair. 

They can:

• Enhance your natural hair color with highlights or lowlights
• Allow you to experiment with different hairstyles without committing to a permanent change
• Cover up thinning or balding areas for a fuller and thicker appearance
• Easily switch up your look for special occasions or events
• Help you achieve longer hair growth goals without waiting for your natural hair to grow out
• Enhance the overall appearance of your hair and create a more polished and put-together look

They should not:

• Be used to add hair and volume to the top of the head , (that’s when you need a topper!)
• Be attached to very short hair styles
• Be used for women going through chemotherapy

Before Getting Hair Extensions

Consult a professional to determine the best application method. While some extensions can be attached on your own, a DIY application can be frustrating and lead to a poor end result.

During the consultation, discuss the maintenance required for your hair extension type. Learn how to wash, style, and remove the extensions to ensure proper appearance and avoid damaging your own hair.
