Multi-method hair extensions include bonded, beaded, tape-in, and clip-in options using high-quality Remy hair. Each installation includes care instructions and a follow-up adjustment. Extensions address volume, length, and color enhancement without chemical damage, with reusable options lasting 6 weeks to 6 months.
