Everything you need to know about hair extensions

At Pastels Salon, hair becomes a canvas of self-expression, a reflection of who you are, and a portal to self-transformation.

Whether you're seeking to add volume, experiment with colour, or explore new styles, hair extensions offer a versatile solution that enhances your natural beauty while preserving your hair's health.

In this blog, we will discuss the various types of hair extensions, application methods, and how to care for them. We will also point out why pastel colours are a trendy and innovative hairstyle this summer season.

Hair extensions types and applications

1. Clip-in

Clip-in extensions are great for temporary length or volume because they are easy to put on and take off.

They're especially great for weddings, events, or trying out a new hairstyle before fully committing.

2. Tape-in

They are attached with adhesive tape and rest flat upon the scalp for a natural-looking appearance.

Made to last 4 to 6 weeks, they should be professionally installed and removed to avoid breaking them.

3. Wefts

Ideal for thicker hair, weft extensions involve braiding the natural hair and sewing wefts onto the braids. This method is durable and popular for those seeking long-term results.

4. Keratin bonds

This type of extension is applied using keratin bonds fused to the natural hair with heat. They are completely undetectable and will last 6 months when properly cared for.

5. Nano bonds

The Nano bond extensions are secured to the hair with small beads without the application of heat or glue. Reusable, they accommodate 360-degree movement, which encourages flexibility and durability.

The ultimate guide of Summer 2025's hottest look

This year, the hottest look includes pastel hair colours. These hues offer a soft yet vibrant colour palette for those looking to refresh their look.

These shades, whether it's peach, baby blue, lavender, or mint, are unique and interesting, encouraging women to express themselves freely and confidently.

Extensions allow you to experiment with colours without having your hair dyed permanently, preserving your hair's healthy state.

Your guide for healthy and glowing extensions

Pastels experts are ready to guide you through the sun-burning climate of Dubai by providing you with some essential tips to keep your hair extensions looking fresh, healthy, and flawless for as long as possible:

  • Use sulphate-free shampoos and conditioners to gently wash your extensions without stripping away their moisture.

  • Consistently applying heat protectant before straightening and curling your hair will prevent damage.

  • Brushing your hair daily with a wide-tooth comb or an extension brush to eliminate tangles.

  • Braid or put your hair in a loose ponytail at night and sleep on a silk pillowcase to minimise friction.
