Women's Hair Extensions Guide

New to extensions? This guide walks you through every RGB Hair method, then helps you choose your colour, length and texture — so you can order once and get it right the first time.

What are hair extensions?

Hair extensions are strands of real human hair added to your own to create length, volume or colour — instantly, without waiting for your hair to grow. RGB Hair extensions are made from 100% Remy and Virgin human hair, so they move, shine and style exactly like your own. Every type below can be cut, coloured and heat-styled to match your look.

Why choose RGB Hair

Factory-Direct Quality
We make our own hair, so every strand is checked before it ships.

Step 1 — Choose your method

The method decides how the hair attaches, how long it stays in, and how often you'll maintain it

Tape-In

Thin, pre-taped wefts sandwiched flat against your own hair. The most versatile everyday method — fast to apply, gentle to remove, and reusable.

How it's applied: Medical-grade double-sided tape — sandwich a thin section of your own hair between two tape wefts and press to bond. No heat, no glue.

3 types: Classic · Injected · Mini Apply: 30–45 minutes Best for: Fine to medium hair

Clip-In

Pressure-clip wefts you snap in and out yourself in minutes. No commitment, no salon visit — wear them for an event, then take them out.

How it's applied: Pressure clips — snap open, clamp onto a thin section of your own hair close to the root, close. No tools needed; clip in and out in about 5 minutes.

2 types: Classic · Seamless Apply: About 5 minutes Best for: Beginners, occasional wear

Weft

Continuous wefts sewn or beaded in rows for the fullest coverage. The go-to choice when you want maximum volume and length in one install.

How it's applied: Continuous wefts sewn or beaded in rows of your own hair (Machine / Genius / Butterfly). Halo Wire slips on like a headband — no clips, no glue, no installation.

4 types: Machine · Genius · Butterfly · Halo Wire Apply: Salon install Best for: Thick hair, maximum volume

Pre-Bonded

Individual strands bonded one by one, so the hair moves completely freely. The most natural-looking and longest-wearing option.

How it's applied: Individual strands bonded one by one — keratin heat-fusion (U-Tip, Flat Tip) or cold micro-beads / nano rings (I-Tip, MicroLink, Nano Tip). Salon install.

5 types: U-Tip · I-Tip · Flat Tip · MicroLink · Nano Tip Apply: Salon install Best for: Most natural, longest wear

Step 2 — Choose your colour

Match the colour to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair, not just the roots

How to pick the right shade

1
Match your ends, not your roots. Extensions blend where they hang — compare against the mid-lengths and ends of your hair, since roots are often darker.
2
Check it in daylight. Indoor lighting hides warm and cool tones. If you're between two shades, the lighter one usually blends better.
3
Still unsure? Send us a photo. We'll match your shade by hand — see our custom colour options below.

Colour styles

Step 3 — Choose your length

Length is measured on straight hair from root to tip

Hair length reference chart: straight, wave and curly at 10 to 30 inches

Reference length chart (10″–30″). Our extensions are made to your chosen length — see the four length brackets below.

14″–16″
Sits around the shoulders or collarbone — adds volume and body without a dramatic change.
18″–20″
Falls to the chest — the most popular range for a clear length boost that still looks natural.
22″–24″
Reaches past the chest toward the waist — full, glamorous length for everyday or events.
26″–30″
Waist length and beyond — maximum drama, best on taller clients or those used to long hair.

Available range varies by type: Tape-In and Weft 14″–30″, Clip-In and Pre-Bonded 14″–24″, Halo Wire 14″–30″.

Not sure? Measure from your parting down to where you want the hair to end.

Step 4 — Choose your texture

Pick the texture that matches how you wear your hair most days

Straight

Our standard texture — sleek and smooth, and the easiest to blend into most hair types. Curl or wave it with hot tools whenever you want a change.

Wave

Soft, loose movement for a beachy, lived-in finish. Available custom-made to order on most types.

Curl

Defined curls for clients with naturally curly hair, so the extensions blend in without daily heat styling.

Hair texture reference chart showing 10 wave and curl types

Wave and curl come in many textures — from straight to loose wave, body wave to deep curly. Use this chart as a reference for the textures we can make to order:

Straight is kept in stock across all types; wave and curl are made to order. All textures can be heat-styled up to 180°C.

Step 5 — Choose your hair quality

Both are 100% human hair — the difference is how long they last and how much you can restyle them

Remy Human Hair

  • Lifespan: 6–12 months
  • Processing: Lightly treated for smoothness
  • Styling: Can be dyed or permed with care
  • Best for: Trying extensions, short- to medium-term wear, best value

Virgin Cuticle Hair

  • Lifespan: 2–3 years or longer
  • Processing: Never chemically processed, cuticles intact
  • Styling: Can be dyed, bleached and permed freely
  • Best for: Long-term wear, premium finish, maximum styling freedom
