What are the types of temporary hair extensions?
Temporary extensions provide instant transformation and come in several styles. They all attach without heat or glue.
1.Classical Clip-In Hair
Lined wefts with clips. Clip into sectioned hair. They give quick volume and length and are easy to switch.
2.Lace Clip-In Hair
Wefts sew onto thin lace base. Lace blends with scalp and gives a natural hairline. It works well with light or parted styles.
3.Seamless (PU) Clip-In Hair
Hair put into a thin polyurethane strip. The base lies flat and smooth. It hides under veils and layers and feels ultra-light.
4.Invisible Clip-In Hair
Ultra-thin PU base with injected hair. It looks natural, stays flat, and is ideal for thin or fine hair needing discreet volume.
5.Halo Extensions
Hair attached to thin wire that sits behind the crown. You pull your hair through and clip wire under layers. No clips on scalp means no tension or flat spots. Great for sensitive scalps or quick styling.
Each type suits different styling needs. Lace and PU bases hide wefts perfectly. Halo adds volume with minimal effort. Stylists choose based on client hair, hairstyle complexity, and event length.

How to care for best temporary extensions?
Proper care improves look and lifespan. Follow this routine:
- Wash sparingly
Use sulfate-free shampoo in lukewarm water. Do not scrub wefts. Rinse gently and pat dry. - Condition carefully
Apply conditioner from mid-length to ends. Avoid roots or base areas. Rinse fully, towel-dry, then air-dry or low-heat blow dry. - Brush right
Use wide-tooth or loop brush. Always start detangling from ends, moving upward. Brush extensions separately first, then blend. - Store ethically
Once dry, gather wefts in order. Store flat or hung in breathable bag or silk pouch. - Style gently
Use heat protectant before curling or straightening. Keep iron below 350 °F. Let style cool before brushing. - Refresh as needed
Light oil serum adds shine and masks dryness. A low-hold spray helps tame flyaways without buildup. - Check inserts
Clean clips with alcohol, inspect tension. Wipe PU bases gently. Check halo wire rotates and stays secure.
This care supports natural look, feel, and multiple wears.
