Choose hair extensions by starting with the result: added fullness, a longer silhouette, a color effect or coverage in a particular area. Then match the product format, texture, shade and amount to your natural hair and daily routine with a qualified stylist. A complete plan considers both the hair you purchase and how you will wear it.
Bohyme offers human hair extensions in several constructions and textures. This guide provides a starting point for choosing among them without treating a collection name, an inspiration picture or a pack count as the whole decision.
Begin with the way you want to wear the hair
| Starting point | Products to explore | What to resolve |
|---|---|---|
| Ongoing length or fullness | Wefts, tape-ins or individual tips | Professional fit, attachment plan and maintenance appointments |
| Removable length or volume | Clip-ins or halos | Fit, natural-hair coverage and removal after wear |
| Top or part coverage | A suitable topper or top piece | Base dimensions, coverage area and attachment |
For example, Ethos Genius Silky Straight offers a customizable weft construction, while Essential 7-Piece Silky Straight Clip-Ins provide removable pieces. The 18-inch Ethos Hand-Tied Top Piece addresses coverage at the top and along the part. These products solve different design needs; none is the default choice for every wearer.
Separate collection, construction and texture
A collection identifies a Bohyme range. Construction describes how the hair is supplied. Texture describes its finish. In Ethos Hand-Tied French Refined, Ethos is the collection, Hand-Tied is the weft construction and French Refined is the texture. Shade, length and pack contents still need to be specified.
Ethos and Luxe use 100% Remi® Virgin Human Hair. Private Reserve uses 100% Virgin Remi® Human Hair. Classic uses 100% Remi® Human Hair. These material descriptions help distinguish the collections before you compare their available textures and constructions.
Compare the exact construction before choosing an installation. Hand-Tied seams stay intact, while the current Genius construction allows custom cutting. Cutting a seam and shaping the hair lengths are different actions. Our weft construction guide explains the distinctions.
Choose for your everyday finish
Bring photographs of your own hair in the finish you usually wear, including the back and ends. Explain whether you air-dry, diffuse, blow-dry or straighten. A texture that suits that routine is a more useful starting point than a styled photograph alone.
Compare Ethos Hand-Tied French Refined with the exact alternatives you are considering. French Refined differs between Ethos and Luxe, so a shared texture name does not replace a collection-specific comparison. The texture-matching guide shows how to assess pattern, fullness and ends.
Choose length and texture together, then refine color using the appropriate physical Bohyme color ring whenever possible. Screen images can narrow the conversation but should not settle a close match.
Agree on quantity and care before ordering
Your stylist should establish the intended amount from your starting hair, desired length, shape and attachment plan. A pack is a sales unit, a weft is a piece, grams measure weight and a row belongs to an installation. They are not interchangeable.
Ask for a written specification listing collection, format, texture, shade, length, pack contents and quantity. Include the initial installation, shaping, maintenance visits and replacement planning in the service discussion. The time between appointments is different from the reusable life of the hair.
Before opening or altering delivered hair, check it against that specification and the seller’s return conditions. Review the Bohyme Hair Care Guide and obtain aftercare for the exact installation.
Getting-started questions
Which hair extensions are best?
The most suitable choice depends on your natural hair, desired finish, fit and maintenance routine. A consultation brings those factors together.
Can I research before booking a stylist?
Yes. Explore formats, textures and color references first, then have the installer confirm suitability and quantity before purchasing installation hair.
Do all hair extensions add length?
No. A plan can focus on fullness, color or targeted coverage while keeping a similar overall length.
