Clip-Ins, Tape-Ins, Micro Wefts, Oh My! Which Will You Choose For This Summer Season?
Published: April 12, 2024 | Edited: September 10, 2024
As the weather heats up and the summer fun begins, it's time to think about hairstyles that will last through all your adventures—whether you're headed to family gatherings, day parties, or the beach. Maintaining sleek, beautiful hair during the busy summer months can be a challenge, but the right hair extensions can help you achieve the look you want with minimal effort.
With so many options available, you might be wondering which type of extensions best suits your lifestyle and needs. Let us break down three of the most popular options—Tape-Ins, Clip-Ins, and Micro Wefts—so you can choose the perfect style to enjoy all summer long.
Tape-Ins
If you're looking for long-lasting volume and length that can withstand summer’s heat, tape-ins are a fantastic choice. With proper installation and maintenance, tape-ins can last 6-8 weeks, offering a range of styling options like sleek ponytails, beachy waves, and even straight looks. One of the best features of tape-ins is their durability—you can swim, sweat, and even enjoy a sauna session without worrying about them coming loose.
However, tape-ins do require careful handling. To avoid tangling or damage to your natural hair, you’ll need to brush them regularly, paying attention to the placement of the adhesive. Improper installation can lead to issues such as breakage or scalp irritation, which is why it’s crucial to have them applied by a professional. At Versus Salon, we ensure that your tape-ins are perfectly placed, so you can focus on looking and feeling great!
Clip-Ins
For those looking for flexibility and a quick, temporary boost, clip-ins are the go-to option. Perfect for special occasions or day-to-day versatility, clip-ins can be easily applied and removed whenever you want. Style them outside of your hair for an easier morning routine, and rest assured they’re simple to maintain.
Although clip-ins are a temporary solution, they still offer the ability to style with heat or wear updos when needed. But remember, they need to be removed before bed and shouldn’t be worn continuously for days without giving your natural hair a break. Improper use or placement can lead to tangling and damage. We recommend consulting a professional to guide you through your first application and ensure the clip-ins complement your natural hair seamlessly.
Microwefts
If you're seeking something more permanent but still lightweight and natural-looking, micro wefts are an excellent choice. Lasting 4-6 weeks with the right care, micro wefts offer a bouncy, full appearance that blends beautifully with your natural hair. Once installed, they require minimal upkeep—simply wash and style as you would your own hair.
While low maintenance, it's still essential to brush and care for micro wefts regularly to prevent pulling or breakage. Avoid wearing your hair up for extended periods, as this can place too much tension on the roots. For optimal results, always have your micro wefts installed and removed by a professional to protect your natural hair’s health.
