Hair extensions – methods and natural hair

Hair extensions are a way to get longer, fuller hair without waiting for your own hair to grow. Since 2011 GrzechHair has been selling natural hair for extensions and thickening – for all popular methods – together with accessories and care products. The extensions themselves are fitted by a trained stylist; we help you choose the method, colour, length and amount of hair. Visit our shops in Gdynia (Orłowo), Gdańsk and Warsaw, or shop online.

Lengthening or thickening?

• Thickening – hair of a length similar to your own is added; a small amount is often enough, depending on the effect you want.
• Lengthening – for a natural look, the amount of extension hair should match the thickness of your ponytail. For a length of 50 cm you need about 100 g of hair on average; the longer the hair, the higher the weight.

Hair extension methods

Keratin bonds

Individual strands with a keratin tip are joined to a small section of your own hair; the keratin is heated and shaped into a bond. The bonds are small. Hair for this method: Mini BondesG. To prepare strands yourself: Secret Pony (raw ponytails) and keratin. More: keratin hair extensions.

Tape-in (sandwich method)

A section of your own hair is placed between two thin tapes with natural hair. The tapes are flat and lie close to the head. Hair for this method: Tape In Duo and Bio TapeG; accessories: adhesives and tapes. More: the tape-in sandwich method.

Microrings

Strands are attached with small rings. Hair for this method: Micro BondesG; accessories: microrings and sleeves.

Sewn weft

Hair sewn onto a thin tape, attached with a different technique than tape-in. Hair: Micro WeftG. More: sewn weft hair extensions.

Clip-in

A weft with clips that you put in and take out yourself – no salon visit needed. Hair: Clip In SkinG.

Toppers, fringes and ponytails

Thickening at the crown, a fringe without cutting your own hair, a ponytail for a special occasion: TopperG, FringeG, ponytails.

Which hair extension method is the best and the gentlest?

There is no single method that is best for everyone. The choice depends on the thickness and condition of your own hair, the effect you want, your lifestyle and how often you can visit your stylist. Methods that do not use high temperature include tape-in, microrings and clip-in; keratin bonds are formed with heat. The method is best chosen together with a trained stylist after assessing your hair.

Which hair to choose

• Slavic – hair of Polish origin, the vast majority of it virgin (never dyed). With proper care it can last about 3 years. See: where our Slavic hair comes from.
• NN+ – a line in 45 colours, covered by the NN+ warranty.

Full description: hair types. We match the colour most reliably from a sample of your hair; you can also send a photo of your hair taken in daylight. Colours on screen may differ from reality – colour palettes help.

Care, regeneration and the offer for salons

Hair extensions need gentle care: brushing from the ends, washing with products for hair extensions and limiting high temperature near the bonds. See: hair care, hair regeneration, hair customisation and care products.

For stylists and salons: offer for salons and training courses.
