Struggling to decide which hair extensions are right for you? We've created this guide to help you find the perfect match.
Hair extensions are the perfect way to add length, volume and dimension to your hair but with so many different methods available, it can be difficult to decide which is best for you. The right choice depends on factors such as your hair type, lifestyle and how much maintenance you’re willing to do.
This guide will break down the different types of hair extensions, their benefits and who they are best suited for so you can make an informed decision.
Which Hair Extension Method is Right for You?
Weft Hair Extensions
Best for: Maximum volume and length
Maintenance: Requires refitting every 4–6 weeks
Washing: Use Beauty Works Pearl Nourishing Argan Oil Shampoo for the Gold Double Weft and the Celebrity Choice® Weft. Use Beauty Works Pearl Nourishing Argan Oil Shampoo (Sulfate Free) for the Gold Flat Track Weft, XXS Weft and the Express Weft.
Weft extensions are sewn into the natural hair using beads or braids, offering a secure and long-lasting solution. They provide maximum volume and work best for thicker hair types that can support the weight of the extensions.

- 120g per pack (full head coverage)
- Available in 16", 18", 20" & 22"
Gold Flat Track Weft

- Available in 16", 18" & 20"
- As the application of this weft is different and more similar to tape extension, it requires reinstalling every 4 weeks
Tape Hair Extensions
Best for: Quick application and a lightweight feel
Maintenance: Requires refitting every 4–6 weeks
Washing: Use Beauty Works Pearl Nourishing Argan Oil Shampoo (sulfate-free)
Tape extensions feature thin adhesive wefts that blend seamlessly with natural hair. They are one of the most discreet extension methods and offer a lightweight, natural look.
Types of Tape Extensions
Celebrity Choice® Slimline® Tape

- Matte root for seamless blending
- Can be worn up or down without bulk
- Available in 14", 16", 18", 20", 22" & 28"

Pre-Bonded Extensions
Best for: Long-term wear and a natural finish
Maintenance: Lasts 3–4 months before requiring removal or reapplication
Washing: Use Beauty Works Pearl Nourishing Argan Oil Shampoo (sulfate-free)
Pre-bonded extensions are applied using keratin bonds, which are fused to natural hair with heat. This method provides a natural look with minimal maintenance between appointments.

Micro Ring Extensions

Micro ring extensions use small metal rings to attach the extensions without heat or glue. They are reusable, cost-effective, and gentle on natural hair. Since the rings are discreet, this method works well for most hair types but may not be suitable for very short or extremely fine hair.
Types of Micro Ring Extensions
Celebrity Choice® Nanobond®
- Smallest micro ring method for a discreet finish
- Suitable for all hair types
- Each pack contains 50g of hair
