For centuries, women have been obsessed with long hair. Throughout history, wigs and hair pieces have been used to artificially increase hair length while waiting for natural locks to grow. One recent example is hats with artificial hair velcroed underneath, creating the illusion of real hair. However, this method can be a bit awkward, resembling nothing more than a wig. A better option is hair extensions, specifically those attached using easy-to-use lace closures and other options offered by shops like Crownway Hair Company. Let’s explore a few descriptions of possible hair attachment routes:
Clip-Ins
Clip-ins are the simplest choice for attaching hair extensions and are often associated with cheap, off-the-rack extensions found in malls. These extensions are usually temporary. Clip-in hair extensions are attached to toupee clips and can be easily snapped into place. They are perfect for a day or a party, as you can remove them before going to sleep. However, if you don’t already have a heavy volume of hair, the clips may be noticeable, which is why clip-ins are typically used to add length.
Bonding
Bonding offers a more long-term solution for hair extension attachment. This process involves fusing the extension with your hair using keratin bonds. The bonds are applied at the tip of your hair and heat is used to encourage fusion. The great thing about bonding is that it can last a long time. However, it requires professional application to ensure it is done correctly. Additionally, those with fused hair extensions need to be cautious with heat and certain hair oils, as they can melt the bonds.
Lace Closures
Using a sturdy lace closure is a much easier option. A lace closure is a nylon mesh with hair extensions woven into it, and a lace layer that acts as an artificial scalp. It is attached by cornrow-braiding your natural hair and then placing the closure over the braids. The closure is secured around the cornrow base, creating the illusion of real hair growing from your scalp. Closures can be easily styled and parted. They are also low-maintenance and provide protection for your natural hair.
These three types of hair extension attachment are just a few examples of what’s available on the market. Depending on your needs, you can select one based on durability and how natural they look on you.

Hair extensions can be a great way to add length, volume, and texture to your existing hair; but how do you attach them? There are countless methods that can be used, each with their own set of advantages and disadvantages. One of the most popular and common methods is a lace closure, also known as a lace frontal.
A lace closure is a wig closure made of lace material that covers the wearer’s entire hairline and is bonded to the scalp with a tape or glue adhesive. It looks natural and can be used to create different looks such as short and sweet pixie cuts, long and luxurious styles, or even updos. This type of closure is great for those looking for natural-looking hair extensions with a secure and long-lasting hold.
For those who don’t want to commit to the wavelike pattern of a lace wig closure, there are a variety of other options they can choose from. Clip-in extensions are one of the easiest ways to add instant length and volume. These extensions come pre-attached to a clip-on comb and can be snapped into your hair in a matter of minutes. The added benefit is that these extensions can be taken out at the end of the day.
Another option is a weft closure. Weft closures are made from a single piece of hair and sewn onto a band. This type of closure is more versatile than lace closures, as it can be used to create various hairstyles such as an updo or a half-up-half-down look. They are also less expensive than lace closures and easy to apply.
Finally, hair glue, or bonding glue, can also be used to attach hair extensions. Bonding glue is applied directly to the scalp and used to attach wefts or strands of hair extensions to the existing hair. While this type of attaching hair extensions may be less natural-looking, it is very secure and last for several weeks before needing to be reapplied.
There are many different methods that can be used to attach hair extensions to your head. Each has its own set of advantages and disadvantages, so it’s best to do research before deciding which method is right for you. Whether you choose to go with a lace closure, clip-in extensions, a weft closure, or bonding glue, you can find the perfect hairstyle for you!
