Tape, Keratin or Weft? How to Choose the Right Hair Extensions for Your Hair Type

Share on:

Thinking about getting hair extensions but not sure which type is the perfect match for your hair? Whether your strands are fine, thick, or somewhere in between, selecting the right method is essential for achieving a seamless, natural result.

We’ll walk you through the three most popular options: Tape-Ins, Keratin Bonds, and Wefts, so you can confidently decide what suits your lifestyle and hair texture best.

 


 

Understanding the Difference: Tape, Keratin & Weft Extensions

Each method offers unique advantages, but the best fit depends on your hair density, how long you want to wear them, and how much maintenance you're open to.

Best Extension Method for Fine Hair

If your hair tends to fall flat or feels delicate, opt for a lightweight method that won’t strain the root or show through.

Top pick: Tape-Ins

  • Thin and flexible for a natural blend

  • Add volume without feeling heavy

  • Quick to apply, easy to remove

🚫 Avoid heavier methods like thick wefts unless applied by an experienced stylist using a density-safe technique.

 


 

Best Extensions for Thick or Textured Hair

For those with dense, coarse, or naturally voluminous hair, you’ll need a method that holds its own and blends beautifully.

Keratin Bonds are a favourite:

  • Can be strategically layered to match hair volume

  • Discreet and long-lasting (great for busy lifestyles)

  • Freedom to style without visible bonds

Wefts (incl. Miracle Wefts) are another strong option:

  • Ideal for high-volume or full-glam transformations

  • Work well for thicker hair when properly placed and maintained

Choose Based on Your Hair & Goals

  • Go for Tape-Ins if you want a reusable, lightweight solution that blends effortlessly

  • Opt for Keratin Bonds if you're after long wear, natural movement, and minimal maintenance

  • Choose Wefts if you're all about volume, drama, and already have a thick base to work with

“Absolutely loveeee my new hair! I’ve been buying halo extensions for the last 4 years from different places and they don’t even compare to the quality!!”

From Reddit


“I had the wefts from them for around a year and definitely thought they were worth the investment. I’ve tried plenty of brands like Seamless1, Great Lengths and Gold Class but I’d say Jadore is definitely a front runner.”
