Hello my beautiful hair goddesses! 

It's Cortney, WEST COAST HAIR specialist and I want to welcome you to the world of hair extensions! As someone who has been learning and installing extensions for over six years, I can tell you that there are a lot of methods out there. But fear not, as I will guide you through the world of hair extensions and help you find your perfect match!

Hair extensions have been around for centuries, with the first recorded extensions dating back to Cleopatra in 3400 BC. Fast forward to modern times, and there are numerous methods available to suit different needs and preferences.

One of the most popular methods is braided extensions, or sew-in extensions, where your hair is braided to create a base and wefts of extensions are sewn into the braid with a needle and thread.

Another popular method is tape-in extensions, which use a single or double-sided polyurethane tape to sandwich wefts of extension hair into your natural hair. Polyurethane is a durable material commonly used in products such as tires, surface coatings, and even condoms.

Glue-in extensions are another option, but they are less permanent and may cause more damage to your hair if worn for extended periods.

Single strand extensions involve attaching a small bundle of extension hair to a small section of your natural hair. Hot fusion and cold fusion methods are popular for single strand extensions, using heating elements or metal clips to attach the extensions to your hair.

Finally, there are clip-in extensions, but there is one more method that you may not have heard of yet - Soft Bond Strands by Tiffany Twist, offered exclusively at WEST COAST HAIR.

Based in Minneapolis, WEST COAST HAIR offers a safe and natural option for hair extensions that won't damage your hair. Soft Bond Strands use a gentle application method that involves attaching the extensions using a soft bond adhesive. This method is ideal for those with damaged, processed, bleached or broken hair, as it does not cause further damage.

So, if you're looking for a gentle, safe, and natural option for hair extensions, look no further than WEST COAST HAIR and Soft Bond Strands by Tiffany Twist. Stay tuned for more posts on hair styling, extensions, and more!
