Hair extensions are widely loved thanks to the range of styles they offer, which can meet many specific hair goals. Clip-in  human hair extensions in NZ are a popular choice, but many people don’t realise there are options out there that are much easier to apply. In this blog post, we discuss ponytail and halo-weft extensions, and why they make a great alternative to clip-in extensions.

Clip-in Hair Extensions

Before we can get into the alternatives, we need to discuss the pros and cons of clip-ins. In theory, they’re easy to apply, and this means that you can do it yourself. But to get the most natural look out of your clip-ins, it can take a whole lot of time and patience—and probably even a friend to help you.

When attached properly, you can create some gorgeous volume and extra length with them, but wearing clip-in extensions for an entire day can put a lot of strain on the head and can feel extremely uncomfortable and tight. Don’t get us wrong, clip-ins are fantastic, but some people may find them too difficult to install or may be looking for a more comfortable all-day wear

Ponytail Extension

Available in a huge range of lengths and colours, a wrap-around ponytail with a clip is the perfect solution for a quick hair fix—achieving a long, voluminous, and realistic ponytail. The best part, of course, is that it only takes about 2 minutes to apply, then you’re ready to rock your new—but temporary—locks.

Since our ponytail extensions are made from 100% real, high-quality human hair, they can be curled, toned, straightened, and washed with care. Depending on the usage, a ponytail extension will last anywhere between 3 and 18 months—the better you care for it, the longer it’ll last!

To apply, all you need to do is tie your hair in a ponytail, then take the upper part of the extension ponytail with the clip and secure it into the root of your natural ponytail. Take a long, thin piece of hair to wrap around your natural ponytail, make it extra secure with a clasp, and you’re done! Yup, it’s that easy, no need to figure out where to place it, or trying to hide bulky clips—just a quick application, mirror check, and you’re good to go!

Halo-Weft Extension

Our Halo Weft extensions are one of the greatest innovations in the market right now. They’re easy to apply, and give you a full head of long, beautiful, and natural-looking hair. These are so easy to apply that they’re without a doubt the best product to start out with if you’re new to the extension world.

Unlike clip-in extensions, there’s no need to section off your hair, saving a whole lot of time when you’re getting ready. Don’t worry though, the look is always salon-quality, seamlessly blended, and perfect for those of you who love wearing their hair down. All the freedom of human hair; use your favourite heat tools and, if you want to try a new look, they can even be dyed and toned (just not bleached)!

The Halo Weft extension set comes with one main halo piece that easily clips to the back of your head, with two smaller weft pieces that can clip into the front. Together, the three wefts come to a weight of only 180 grams—not too heavy for the natural volume they provide. Don’t spend all your time getting ready sectioning off your hair, have the perfect hair for a night out in an instant! They’re not just the easiest to apply either, they’re one of our most ‘invisible’ extensions available. No one will know the secret to your gorgeous hair.

Everything you need to know about Superior Hair Halo Extensions

Everything you need to know about Superior Hair Halo Extensions

  Our Halo hair extensions are an easy 3 step process to achieve your most beautiful hair desires. They’re very straightforward and easy to use, especially if you’re on the go or are a first-time extension user. Halo extensions are essentially a thin invisible nylon wire that sits on the top of the hair and are secured by clip ins on both sides of the head.  In comparison to clip in hair extensions they don’t require as much time to install as there’s less clips to secure. Our Halo extensions weigh 180 grams, come in a range of 26 different colors and are currently only available in the 20” inches. What hair type are they most suitable for? Our halo extensions are most suitable for medium to thick hair, and hair length that is slightly passed the shoulders.  Is it secure?  To make sure you have the right fit, the nylon string comes in 6 different sizes: xs, s, m, l, xl, xxl. Choose the right size of string for you so that it fits snug to your crown and doesn’t fall off. Be wary not to fit one that’s too tight either. Aside from the string, you also have clip ins on the side of your halo piece to keep it even more secure.  The 3 Simple Steps to installing your Superior Hair Halo Extension: Step 1: Prepare your hair With a tail comb or even just your finger section the crown of your head and clip it away on the top of your head to keep and hair from falling into your face.Step 2: Install the Halo PiecePlace your halo piece around the section you’ve parted on your crown. Make sure the nylon string is nice and snug; if it isn’t snug or is too tight you might have to change the size of your wire. Secure the halo piece with the clip in attached on each side of the head. Step 2: Install the Halo Piece Place your halo piece around the section you’ve parted on your crown. Make sure the nylon string is nice and snug; if it isn’t snug or is too tight you might have to change the size of your wire. Secure the halo piece with the clip in attached on each side of the head.   Step 3: Install the side pieces Now, if you’ve come to this step, you may find that you don’t necessarily want more volume in the front which is totally fine. You can skip this step. But if you do want more volume at the front to match back, you can use the additional clip ins. Secure the clips ins on each side of the head, keeping in line with nylon wire. You’re all done now! Make sure to brush out to blend all the pieces and style however you want!

Men’s Hair Topper Style Tips for a Natural Looking Hair System

There are plenty of ways men can tackle thinning hair. One of them is with hair toppers. While wearing a hair topper may seem unnatural initially, the right styling strategies can make yours appear effortless and natural. At Superior Hair, we ensure you never lose self-confidence while wearing our hair toppers.Hair toppers require just as much styling as real human hair. That's why we offer hair replacement systems made from 100% human hair, giving you the flexibility to try many hair topper styles. Here are our top tips for styling our men’s hair topper systems so you can achieve the best, most natural, and discreet hair solution. Stick to air dryingWhile it can be tempting to dry your hair faster after a shower, heated styling tools can damage your hair strands. Whether styling synthetic or natural hair systems, we recommend air drying or using lukewarm water to wet set curls to keep them looking healthy and softer for longer. Use a specialty brush or combMost men manage to go about their day without brushing their hair. But you’d be amazed just by how much brushing can do to bring out your hair’s lustrous shine. Brushing your hair can significantly reduce frizz and improve hair texture. Invest in a specialty brush or comb that effectively smoothens out and detangles hair without pulling. A soft boar bristle brush contains natural sebum, the same oil produced by the scalp, that acts as a natural conditioner you can evenly distribute by brushing your hair.   Invest in good styling productsAfter brushing, you want to make sure the style stays that way. To keep your hair firmly in place and looking fresh for longer is through styling products designed to keep your hair hold its shape! Remember, human hair systems such as hair toppers do not moisturise the same way as your hair. Therefore, choose moisturising and alcohol-free products to prevent unnecessary dryness and damage.   Add some colourIf you want to try something new, why not mix things up by changing your hair colour? Human hair systems are far easier to colour than synthetic hair strands. Plus, synthetic hair strands can only be darkened, not lightened. On the other hand, human hair toppers go through the same hair dying procedure as normal hair so even with a change of colour or variance in colour blending, you can still achieve the most natural-looking coloured hair. Professional stylists can help you dye or colour a human hair system to achieve the best results.   Shop the best hair toppers in NZ at Superior Hair Give yourself the confidence boost you need with high-quality hair systems that make every day a good hair day! At Superior Hair, we offer ready-to-wear hair toppers for men and women that you can wear and style immediately. But we can customise a solution if you struggle with a specific balding area.
