Looking for hair extensions? With a wide range of extensions to choose from and a lot of methods of application to look into, selecting the right one could be daunting. If this is the case, you may want to look at these two important factors first: budget and maintenance.

First you have to decide between natural and synthetic short hair extensions. Natural extensions are more expensive than synthetic ones but when it comes to quality both can deliver satisfying outcomes. After choosing and buying one, you must decide what method of application you would want to use. Considering the two factors above, your choice will be narrowed down to two of the most popular hair extension application methods today: the use of glue in hair extensions and hair extension clips.

If you don't mind spending top dollar for a hair extension, you can opt to choose gluing. Weft hair extensions, for instance, are just samples of hair extensions which can be glued. When this extension is applied using this method, it can last for four long months. If you are the busy type and you do not have time to attach and detach hair extension, this is perfect for you. It is low-maintenance and stays in shape.

However, if you are on a budget and you really do rave about long hair and pretty locks from time to time, you can try for the clip. It is cheap and easy to apply. What is more, you can take it off and on whenever and wherever you want. Since natural hair is very pricey, you might just consider buying clip in hair extensions instead.

Make sure though that when you choose the gluing method, you let a professional stylist do the job. Clip in hair extensions, on the other hand, can be done at home even without professional help and are extremely easy to put in and take out. They don't damage your hair or scalp, and because they are so inexpensive, you can always throw the old one away when it starts getting too tangled.

To conclude this post I want to just highlight the latest trend in hair fashion accessories – feather hair extensions. Applied in minutes, they can be treated just like ordinary hair, allowing you to wash, dry, straighten or curl them. They often come attached with a silicone bead, and can provide up to six weeks worth of glamour per application. The demand for feather hair extensions (which have the same cockerel plumes used by anglers to lure salmon and trout) soared initially in America, after a number of A-list celebrities were spotted wearing them – but now they are making their way across the Atlantic, with the U.K setting itself for a feather explosion.
