Choosing the Right Hair Extensions for Your Hair
Choosing the perfect hair extensions can be daunting, we get it! There are so many amazing options for adding healthy length to your hair; halo, weft, fusion, clip in and tape in.
There are also considerations of hair type, expectations of longevity, condition of hair and scalp, and professional or DIY installation.
Let's take a closer look at the different types of extensions Thykk offers to make your decision a little, or a lot, more easy!
As always, we're here to help. Please reach out to us for a virtual consultation should you wish to connect with us one-on-one.
HALO
What is it?
The THYKK Halo is a one-piece weft with a nylon cord that lays on the crown of the head with optional clips at the back. The Halo applies minimal stress to the hair and scalp. The invisible string at the front of the halo is removable; the extension can also be worn as a one-piece volume weft.
How it it installed?
Halos are perfect for first-time extension users and simple enough to apply for everyday wear in just a few minutes. Halo hair extensions sit gently on top of your head, secured with a thin, invisible cord.
To install, section hair up at the top of your head around the crown. The string should be placed about 1-2 inches behind the front hairline and the extensions placed around the sectioned area. Once the halo is secured, the sectioned hair can be dropped and styled. It's really that easy!
How long will it last?
With proper care, brushing, cleansing, styling and storing, halos can last for years! As all Thykk extensions are Remy hair (real human hair), you can expect the same longevity from our extensions that you do from your own hair.
Halos are a great option for you if...
- you have thin to medium hair and hair length longer than shoulder length.
- you've been wearing fusions or wefts and want to give your hair and scalp a break without compromising your overall length and look.
- you have 60 seconds to complete your hair look
- you often wear your hair down
CLIP INS
What are they?
Clip in extensions are hair sewn onto a wefts that can then be clipped into the hair, close to the scalp. Thykk clip in extensions come with 8 pieces, with a total weight of 160 grams of hair. The variety of weft sizes allows for optimal placement and a very natural look.
How it it installed?
Just like halos, clip ins are a non-damaging way to add length and volume instantly. Clip ins are installed by simply clipping the wefts close to the scalp. We recommend sectioning off the hair starting closer to the bottom of the head and working your way up. The hair on your scalp can be teased and sprayed with hair spray to help hold the clips securely in place.

With proper care, brushing, cleansing, styling and storing, clip ins can last for years! As all Thykk extensions are Remy hair (real human hair), you can expect the same longevity from our extensions that you do from your own hair.
Clip ins are a great option for you if...
- you have thin, medium or thick hair
- you have hair that is shorter that your shoulders, as the clips can be placed and adjusted on the head for a seamless blend.
- you enjoy taking the time to style your hair in updos, high ponytails, buns and braids.
TAPE IN
What is it?
Tape In extensions are the the least damaging professionally installed hair extensions as they put very little pull on your own hair resulting in less breakage. We love tape ins as they grow out naturally allowing you to grow out your own hair with ease and healthy results.
How are they installed?
Tape in extensions are installed professionally and normally take an hour to complete.
Consider in the installation cost when purchasing your tape in extensions or reach out to one of our salon partners to book an appointment.

WEFT
What is it?
THYKK Hand-Tied Wefts are made of 100% Remy human hair sewn onto a track of silicone beads giving you the thick, long locks that you yearn for.
Wefts are dense, each pack contains 100 grams of hair, giving you the option to increase thickness by adding another package.
How it it installed?
Wefts are installed by a professional by sewing the weft onto the hair close to the scalp. There is no glue, heat, chemicals or tape involved in this installation process. For our gals that like to keep in clean, this is the option for you!

How long will it last?
Extensions can be reapplied up to 3 times every 6-9 weeks.
This is a great option for you if...
- you have finer hair as the wefts are easily concealed flat against the head
- you like clean beauty as no chemicals are used in the installation
FUSION
What is it?
Fusion hair extensions are strands of hair applied to the root of the hair by fusing the extensions to the hair with a small keratin bead.
Thykk fusion extensions come in a heavy 50 gram pack of double drawn Remy hair, as with all our extensions.
