Dreaming of long, full, and flowing hair? Hair extensions are a fantastic way to transform your look and enhance your natural beauty. But to get that show-stopping result, it’s essential to know how to choose the perfect extensions for your hair type. At Reinholz Hair, we guide you step by step to find the ideal option and achieve your dream hair.

1. Know Your Natural Hair Type

Before choosing extensions, identify the characteristics of your own hair. This will help you make a more informed decision:

Texture: Is your hair straight, wavy, curly, or coily?
Density: Is it fine, medium, or thick?
Length: Are you looking for volume, length, or both?
Color: Do you want to match your current tone or try a subtle change?

Reinholz Tip: Choose 100% human hair extensions for a more natural look, with the freedom to style them as you wish and enjoy longer durability.

There are different methods for applying extensions, each with its own advantages depending on your hair type and lifestyle:

Clip-In

Ideal for: temporary changes, events, or fine hair.

Tape-In

Ideal for: fine to medium hair.

14 to 18 inches: natural effect for shorter or medium-length hair.20 to 24 inches: glamorous length, perfect for a dramatic look.26 inches or longer: ideal for long, striking hairstyles.
