Some questions we are asked about U-tip extensions include:
What is the difference between double-drawn hair and single-drawn hair? Double-drawn hair extensions, like the ones offered by AiryHair, are the highest quality because the hair is manually treated, so shorter hairs are eliminated. That means almost all the hair is of equal length, resulting in better volume. Single-drawn hair extensions have thinner ends.
What are the benefits of Remy's hair? Remy hair extensions have strands of the same length and alignment, resulting in a flawless, tangle-free look. Many stores add “Remy” to the label when the hair has been treated with acid. With AiryHair, we guarantee the best quality Remy hair.
What are Remy Premium Plus extensions? These hair extensions are perfect if you plan to process, dye, or curl them. They tend to withstand treatments better and are perfect if you need to extend the lifespan of your extensions.
Why Buy U-Tip Hair Extensions?
U-tip extensions are also called glue because of the glue-tipped bonds. Deciding whether glue extensions are for you requires that you get familiar with all of their positive and negative features, as well as consider your daily habits. We have put together a list of the most important pros and cons of U-tip bonds that can help you decide whether you want to go ahead and buy them or not.
The Pros of U-Tip (Glue) Hair Extensions
First, let’s begin with glue extension pros, where you can read all about the amazing features you can get by choosing affordable U-tip extensions.
![The Pros and Cons of Hair Extensions The Pros and Cons of Hair Extensions](https://www.airyhair.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ombre-hair-extensions-350x350.jpg)
Glue Extensions Last for a Long Time
U-tip extensions are one of the longest-lasting ones out there. It is hard to predict the exact time because there are so many different factors that influence it. The quality of the hair, installation, and maintenance are some of the things that greatly influence the lifespan of glue extensions. But let’s say you bought high-quality Remy hair, got it properly installed, and took great care of it; then you can expect the U-tip hair extensions s to last at least five months.
Semi-Permanent
glue hair extensions fall into the category of semi-permanent extensions. That means that while the strands last for a very long time, they must be refitted regularly. That means you can’t take the strands off every day and must commit to wearing them for at least a couple of weeks. As your natural hair strands grow, the U-tip strands grow along with it, which means they must be moved higher up on the roots to stay invisible.
Very Secure
What’s excellent about glue extensions is that once they’re glued on, they cannot come off. When the U-tip is attached to a strand, it is very secure and will stay in place for a long time. The only way the U-tip hair extensions get detached is if heat is applied to them, they’re incorrectly washed, or the installation was not professionally done.
Perfect for Thick Hair
Wefts can sometimes look too bulky and unnatural on very thick hair, so glue extensions are a much better choice. They will blend in better with coarse hair, and you also have the option to control how many strands are installed. That does not mean that U-tip extensions can’t be installed on thin hair; however, tape-in extensions are a much better option in that case.
Different Shades and Textures Available
AiryHair offers a wide range of shades and textures that you can choose from. The whole point of extensions is that they blend in seamlessly with natural strands, which is best achieved by carefully picking the color and texture. For best results, pick a texture that corresponds to your real hair and try to match the shades as well.
Can Be Used to Add Highlights
Another cool thing that can be done with U-tip hair extensions is creating highlights and colorful hairstyles. For example, you can buy a couple of Remy U-tip hair extensions that are lighter than your hair color and place them strategically to get pops of color. If you’re a fan of the balayage technique, you’ll be happy to know that it can be done using only glue extensions. There is no need to dye your hair.
Relatively Affordable
Although glue extensions are not the cheapest, you can still find good-quality ones cheaply. For example, you can get 16’’ pre-bonded U-tip hair extensions for only $40, which is not expensive, considering how long you can wear them. Synthetic ones are even cheaper, but we recommend that you stay away from those and go for real human hair, which will pay off in the long run. Synthetic hair might cost less, but it doesn’t last nearly as long as Remy's hair.
Comfortable to Wear
Real human hair extensions that use U-tips are known for being one of the most comfortable ones out there. That’s because they’re attached strand by strand, with minimal and thin bonds. After they’re attached and cooled down, they’re still soft so that they won’t be hard against your head. As with all extensions, getting used to having all that extra hair takes some time, but after a couple of days, you’ll forget about it.
Realistic Look and Feel
If the U-tip hair extensions are made of real human hair, they will merge with natural strands and be completely indistinguishable from the real thing. There are also no limitations as to what you can do with glue extensions in terms of styling. You can braid the hair, pull it up, and do whatever you would with your hair.
Natural Hair Movement
A great thing about strand-by-strand methods is that they allow for a natural hair movement, so you can flip and toss your hair as much as you want to, which can’t be said for wefts. Even if a strong wind is moving your hair, the U-tip extensions will still look natural.
More Styling Options
Only a little can be done to short hair, so you must stick to only a few styling options. However, when you extend the length of your hair, you will notice that there’s suddenly a wide range of styles that you can try. If you’re the type of girl who likes to have a different hairstyle each day, extensions are a real-life saver.
Reusable
Even though the hair needs to be refitted every two or three weeks, it is reusable. That means you don’t have to buy new U-tip extensions; simply move them higher up.
The Cons of U-Tip (Glue) Hair Extensions
![The Pros and Cons of Hair Extensions The Pros and Cons of Hair Extensions](https://www.airyhair.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/wavy-hair-extensions-350x350.jpg)
Not as Easy to Install and Remove at Home
The main problem with U-tip hair extensions or any hot fusion hair, in general, is that it’s not so easy to install them yourself, especially if you’re a beginner. A hot tool is needed to melt the glue bonds and glue them on each strand. It’s more complicated than simply clipping a couple of wefts on. The U-tip hair extensions are also not as easy to remove, and a glue bond remover must be used. If the tips are not installed correctly, they will not look good, and they might even come off. That’s why we recommend that you leave the installation to the professional, at least for the first time.
Needs Refitting Every Two to Four Weeks
Although the hair itself can last for a very long time, the U-tip hair extensions must be refitted every couple of weeks because your hair grows. That is done by removing the U-tip hair extensions and installing them higher up, closer to the roots.
Requires Maintenance
Fusion extensions require you to be more careful because there is glue involved. Avoid scrubbing too much around the bonds and using too hot water when washing the hair because that could dissolve the glue. Brushing the hair also might be tricky because the roots must be avoided. For the lowest maintenance hair extensions, we recommend clip-ins.
Sleeping with Fusion Extensions Takes Getting Used To
When having Remy U-tip extensions installed, the hair needs to be protected in some way while sleeping. Letting the strands loose will result in awful tangling, matting, and possibly loose strands. It is recommended that you wear a sleeping cap, a scarf around the head, or at least make a braid. It will protect the strands while you toss and turn in your sleep. It might take getting used to, but it’s a much better way to sleep, even for your natural tresses.
Conclusion
While each extension type has pros and cons, it’s easy to see how the positive outweighs the negative. Consider all the points carefully before buying and installing U-tip hair extensions, and determine whether it is the right method for you. You can also contact a hair professional to assess which method is the best one for your hair type. Luckily, there are so many extension types to choose from. AiryHair offers more than 8.

How to Apply U-Tip Human Hair Extensions
![How to apply glue hair strands How to apply glue hair strands](https://www.airyhair.com/images/haircarehires.jpg)
We’ve designed our U-tip extensions to be as simple to apply as possible. Here’s how:
1. we recommend you ask a friend or hairstylist for help. Be sure to choose U-tip extensions that best fit your natural hair for a seamless look.
2. Start by making a horizontal split in the neck region. Hold the upper section in place with a hair clip. Set out strands in the lower section per the number of extensions you wear. Keep the strands straight.
3. Proceed by attaching the “nail” extensions. Avoid setting them too close to the root, and keep a gap of at least 1.5 inches from the root. Otherwise, the extra hair could put stress on your scalp. Since you are using natural glue (to prevent hair from falling out), removal will be troublesome, so be sure you attach hair correctly.
4. Use the fusion connector to slightly melt the glue layer. Once it is malleable, roll the glue between your fingertips to attach it firmly to your hair. You will have to attach extensions in at least three horizontal layers up to your temples. You may also want to add some side extensions.
For the best results, enlisting the assistance of a stylist can help you achieve a perfect look.
