Types of Hair Extensions Every Woman Should Know – A Complete Capilus Guide

Choosing the right hair extensions can feel overwhelming, especially with so many options out there. Whether you want to add volume to your everyday look, experiment with trendy styles, or hide thinning spots, the right extension can transform not just your hair but your confidence.

At Capilus, we don’t just sell hair—we offer solutions made for Indian women. From sleek, seamless covers to vibrant colored streaks, our extensions are designed to blend beautifully, feel light, and stay secure all day.

Temporary vs. Permanent Hair Extensions

Permanent Extensions (e.g., tape-ins, keratin bonds): Professionally applied, long-lasting but high-maintenance, and not ideal for all hair types.
Temporary Extensions (e.g., clip-ins, halos): Easy DIY application, great for occasional or everyday use, without damaging your natural hair.

Capilus focuses on premium temporary extensions—zero damage, 100% control, and full freedom to change your look whenever you want.
