human hair extensions · St Albans
Not sure whether you need nano tips, tape or a weft? This guide explains each type in plain words, then you can shop the range at GL Hair.
Each type below links to its collection on GL Hair. Open one to see how it works and who it suits, then shop it or call to ask a question.
Very small pre-bonded tips that sit close to the root, a favourite for fine hair.
Straight-tipped strands that are fitted with small beads or rings, with no glue.
Thin wefts with a tape strip that lie flat against the head and go on quickly.
A band of hair sewn or attached in a row, for length and plenty of volume.
Hair you clip in and take out yourself, for a change that is not permanent.
Nano tip, I tip, tape, weft and clip-ins, with who each one suits.
GL Hair says it offers a colour match service, so you can check a shade before you buy.
GL Hair sells a Pure range and a Luxe range, which it describes as different grades of human hair.
The names can sound like a code: nano tip, I tip, U tip, tape, weft. Underneath, almost every type of extension is a strand, a tape or a weft. Once you know which family you are looking at, the choice gets easier, and it is simpler to talk to a stylist.
This guide sets the main types side by side. When you are ready, the buttons take you to GL Hair, a hair extension supplier.
Fine hair? Look at nano tip and tape.
Want a glue-free strand? Look at I tip.
Want lots of volume? Look at weft.
Want to try them for a night? Clip-ins go in and out at home.
Whether you are in St Albans itself or in nearby places such as Harpenden, Hatfield, Redbourn, Wheathampstead, London Colney or Welwyn Garden City, the choice works the same: pick the type, match the shade, then ask about delivery to your postcode. GL Hair’s colour match service is worth using before you order, because the right shade makes extensions look like your own hair.
A few questions help: how long you want the result to last, how much volume you want, and whether a stylist will fit them. If you are unsure, call and ask.
Nano tips are small and sit close to the root, so they are often chosen for fine hair. Tape is flat too. A stylist will advise on your hair.
