Types of Hair Extensions Available

Each method of hair extension application has its unique advantages, depending on factors like hair thickness, lifestyle, and maintenance preferences. Below, we’ll explore the top options offered by Pearls Hair Extensions and help you discover the best match for you.


Individual Bonds – The Seamless & Long-Lasting Choice

✔️ Best for: Fine to medium hair

✔️ Lifespan: 3-4 months with proper care


Individual bond extensions use small keratin bonds that are heat-fused to your natural hair, creating a secure and lightweight attachment, hair extension application methods. These extensions blend beautifully and are practically undetectable, making them perfect for those who want a long-term solution without visible clips or tapes.


💡 Pro Tip: If you want extensions that move naturally with your own hair, individual bonds are the way to go!


Key Benefits of Individual Bonds:

✅ Long-lasting results

✅ Natural movement & flexibility

✅ Lightweight and discreet


Beaded Weft (LA Weave) – Quick & Damage-Free

✔️ Best for: Medium to thick hair

✔️ Lifespan: 6-8 weeks before maintenance


The LA Weave method involves attaching wefts of hair to small sections of natural hair using tiny beads. Unlike traditional sewn-in weaves, this technique requires no braiding, reducing tension and potential damage to your natural hair.

💡 Why We Love It: “It’s a fast, reusable method that blends seamlessly with thick hair!”

Key Benefits of LA Weave:

✅ No heat, glue, or braiding required

✅ Quick application (less than 2 hours)

✅ Easily adjustable & reusable


Micro Rings – The Reusable & Heat-Free Option

✔️ Best for: Those looking for a non-damaging, reusable option

✔️ Lifespan: 8-10 weeks before a refit

Micro rings (also called micro loops) use tiny, silicone-lined rings to attach small strands of hair to your natural hair—without glue or heat! This method is gentle and allows for extensions to be reused multiple times, making it an excellent choice for those who want flexibility.


💡 Expert Advice: “Micro rings are fantastic if you love low-maintenance, reusable extensions—you can keep using the same hair for months!”


Key Benefits of Micro Rings:

✅ No heat, glue, or braiding required

✅ Minimal damage to natural hair

✅Extensions can be reused multiple times


Traditional Weave – The Classic & Secure Method

✔️ Best for: Thick, coarse hair

✔️ Lifespan: 6-8 weeks before maintenance

A traditional weave is applied by braiding the natural hair and then sewing hair extensions directly onto the braids. This method offers long-lasting results and is one of the most secure techniques for adding volume and length.
