Whether you want to add length, volume, or just a bit more of both, hair extensions have become one of the most popular treatments at Seda Beauty Salon in Waltham Cross. Our hair team works with all hais types â Afro, Caucasian, curly, straight, fine, and thick â and uses only professional-grade extension products.
In this guide, we cover the different extension methods we offer, how to choose the right one for your hair type and lifestyle, what your appointment involves, and how to care for your extensions to make them last.
ð¡ What is Hair Extensions?
Hair Extensions â hairpieces or wefts of real or synthetic hair that are attached to natural hair to add length, volume, or colour. Professional extensions are applied by a trained stylist and, when properly cared for, blend seamlessly with natural hair for a result that looks and moves completely naturally.
Types of Hair Extensions We Offer
Tape-In Extensions
Tape-in extensions use small wefts of hair pre-attached to adhesive tape that bonds to sections of your natural hair. Application takes 1â2 hours and the result is seamless and natural-looking. They last 6â38 weeks before needing to be moved up as your natural hair grows. Ideal for fine to medium straight or wavy hair.
Clip-In Extensions
Clip-in extensions are temporary â you clip them in for an event and take them out at home. They require no professional application and no commitment. Perfect for parties, weddings, or anyone who wants length occasionally but doesn’t want a permanent treatment.
Weft/Sew-In Extensions
Weft extensions involve sewing (or bonding) hair wefts to cornrowed natural hair. They’re particularly well-suited to Afro and textured hair types where cornrows can support the weight of the extensions. They last 6â10 weeks with proper maintenance.
Bond (Fusion) Extensions
Individual strands of extension hair are attached to small sections of natural hair using a keratin bond. The result is very natural and allows maximum movement. Application takes 3â5 hours for a full head. Lasts 3â6 months with proper care.

Hair Extension Aftercare
- ðï¸ Brush daily from the ends upward â use a soft-bristle extension brush, never a regular paddle brush
- ð¿ Wash carefully â use sulphate-free shampoo, rinse with water flowing downward, never rub
- ð¤ Sleep in a loose braid or plait â prevents tangling overnight
- ð Avoid chlorine and salt water â these damage extension bonds; wear a swim cap if swimming
- ð¨ Always blow-dry after washing â never sleep with wet extensions
- âï¸ Book maintenance appointments â at the intervals recommended for your method

I’ve had extensions done all over London and always been disappointed. A friend recommended Seda Beauty and I can honestly say it’s the best my extensions have ever looked. The colour match was perfect and they blend completely naturally.
