Let’s get started!

What To Consider When Choosing Hair Extensions 

Finding the right hair extensions for you depends on a range of factors; the material, the look you want to achieve, the colour and lengths available and the range of hair quality. 

Material 

When it comes to finding the perfect hair extensions, the material is everything. At Additional Lengths, we use only high-quality human hair in all of our extensions, giving you the hair you deserve. This premium material ensures that the extensions blend naturally with your own hair, providing a seamless, realistic look. The quality of human hair also means that the extensions can be styled just like your natural hair, offering you the flexibility to create the exact look you desire. With the right material, you'll not only achieve beautiful hair but enjoy long-lasting, versatile results.

Look 

The look you’re going for plays a huge role in choosing the right extensions for you. Whether you want a subtle boost or a full transformation, there’s an extension type to match but the best choice depends on your hair goals and lifestyle.

If you’re after long-lasting length and volume, professionally fitted extensions are your best bet. Options like Pre-Bonded, Wefts, and Tapes (more on these later) offer a seamless, natural look whilst being perfect if you want gorgeous, everyday glam without applying daily. 

On the other hand, if you love switching up your style or just want extra volume for special occasions, Clip Ins are the ultimate quick fix. They add instant glam in minutes and are perfect for weddings, nights out, or whenever you feel like a little extra oomph.

Ultimately, what works best for you comes down to your hair type, how often you want to wear extensions, and the look you’re trying to achieve. Your stylist will refine this even further, making sure you get the perfect extensions to match your hair’s natural texture, strength, and long-term goals.

Colour & Lengths 

We go to every length for your best-ever hair with up to 30 inches of human hair extensions at your fingertips. In total, we have 9 different lengths as well as over 60 colours so you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to finding your perfect match. However, it’s worth keeping in mind that not every colour and length is available across all products.

If you have a specific shade or length in mind, this can help narrow things down and guide you toward the extensions that are just right for you.

Quality 

At Additional Lengths, hair quality comes down to one key factor: how long it lasts. In simple terms, the longer the hair stays looking fabulous, the better the quality. We categorise this by "ranges," and both our in-house brand and Remi Cachet offer distinct options with varying lifespans, provided you follow the proper aftercare routine, of course.

Here's the lowdown on quality, ranked from top to bottom:

• Remi Cachet Elegance: The hallmark of Elegance, lasting up to 12 months and often up to 18.

• Remi Cachet Deluxe: The ideal mix of quality and affordability, with a lifespan of around 9 months.

• Remi Cachet Luxury: Perfect for 6–9 months of gorgeous hair.

• Additional Lengths Euro Premium: A great option for up to 3 months.

Rest assured, every strand of hair we sell meets our rigorous quality standards, so whichever range you choose, you're getting premium hair that delivers.

Hair Extension Types 

Clip In Hair Extensions

Clip In hair extensions are the perfect choice for a quick and reusable way to transform your look. Whether you want to add extra length, boost your volume, or just switch up your style, our gorgeous collection of Clip-Ins lets you do it in an instant. Even better, they’re super easy to apply, with no glue, no special tools, just effortless glam in minutes. Simply clip them in when you want to add a little extra to your look and take them out just as easily.

Tape Hair Extensions 

Tape hair extensions are a great option for first-time hair extensions seeking a semi-permanent solution that’s more lasting than Clip-Ins but doesn’t require the commitment of Pre-Bonded Extensions. Applied by your stylist sandwiching small sections of natural hair between the taped wefts, they are especially fantastic for fine or thin hair by providing a seamless, natural finish. 

Weft Hair Extensions & Weaves 

Also known as “Weaves,” our Weft hair extensions are a top choice for adding volume or blending in different colours. They can be applied in various ways by your stylist to suit your hair type, such as being sewn into your natural hair using silicone rings as an anchor, ensuring a secure and long-lasting fit. Whether you’re after a subtle enhancement or a bold transformation, Wefts are a fantastic option for achieving the full, voluminous look you desire.

Pre-Bonded Hair Extensions 

Pre-Bonded hair extensions give you more natural movement compared to other extensions. Coming pre-tipped, they are ready to be fit into your hair by your stylist using rings or glue for a seamless and natural finish. Perfect for adding stunning length and volume, these extensions allow you to create gorgeous updos with the small, discreet bonds hidden seamlessly in your hair. If you're looking for a long-lasting option that offers both flexibility and a show-stopping look, Pre-Bonded extensions are the way to go.
