The Versatility of Hair Extensions: From Everyday Glam to Red-Carpet Ready Styles
When it comes to transforming your look, few beauty secrets are as versatile and confidence-boosting as hair extensions. Whether you’re dealing with thinning hair, growing out an awkward length or simply love switching up your style, the right extensions can instantly enhance your volume, length, and overall hair health.
From clip-in hair extensions to tape-in and invisible hair extensions, the options today are more natural-looking and comfortable than ever and no one showcases that versatility better than Married at First Sight’s relationship expert Mel Schilling.
What Are the Different Types of Hair Extensions?
As a long-time advocate for Hair Rehab London, Mel has mastered the art of seamlessly blending tape hair extensions with clip-ins to create everything from sleek ponytails to bouncy blow dries and red-carpet-ready waves.
If you’re exploring your options, you’ll quickly discover there’s a world of choice, but the two most popular (and wearable) methods are:
Clip-In Hair Extensions
Perfect for quick transformations, clip-in hair extensions are designed for those who love flexibility.
- Ideal for: Occasional wear or switching between styles.
- Best for: Women with fine or medium hair who want to boost volume or add length without commitment.
Hair Rehab Tip: Our 18-inch clip-in extensions made from 100% human Remy hair blend beautifully with natural hair, available in a wide range of shades from dark brown to buttery blonde.
Tape-In Hair Extensions (Including Invisible Tapes)
For longer-term wear, tape-in extensions are a salon-fitted option that sit flat against the scalp for an ultra-natural finish.
- Ideal for: Everyday wear and women who want low-maintenance glamour.
- Best for: Fine to medium hair types, or anyone seeking seamless integration.
Upgrade: Our invisible tape extensions use ultra-discreet wefts that mimic natural hair growth, even in updos and ponytails.
What Does “Double Drawn Hair Extensions” Mean?
If you’re browsing for quality, you’ve probably come across the term “double drawn”. This simply means that each hair strand in the set is thick from root to tip, giving your hair a full-bodied, salon-fresh finish without the thin ends often found in cheaper, single-drawn hair.
Hair Rehab London’s hair extensions are crafted from ethically sourced human hair, ensuring lasting shine, softness and volume.
Where Do Hair Extensions Come From?
At Hair Rehab London, our human hair extensions are ethically sourced from verified suppliers and processed to maintain the hair’s natural cuticle alignment. This ensures your extensions remain silky, tangle-free and long-lasting, even after washing and styling.
Our Un:Real range, made from premium vegan fibre, is also perfect for those who prefer a cost-effective, heat-resistant option for effortless styling.
How Much Are Hair Extensions?
The price of hair extensions depends on your desired look and lifestyle:
- Clip-in extensions: From around £130 for our 18-inch sets.
- Tape-in extensions: Professionally fitted from approximately £100–£600, depending on length, volume and stylist rates.
For women who want to invest in long-term volume and confidence, quality is key and Hair Rehab’s award-winning extensions are designed to last, style after style.
Best Shampoo and Haircare for Extensions
To keep your extensions looking fresh and silky, use a sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner designed for hair extensions. These formulas protect the bonds and maintain your hair’s natural moisture balance.
Try Hair Rehab London’s Vegan Haircare Collection, including a hydrating shampoo, nourishing conditioner and lightweight hair mask, for a salon-soft finish that keeps extensions glossy and smooth.
