Frequently Asked Hair Extension Questions
How long do hair extensions last?
The lifespan of extensions depends on the type used, your hair and grooming and maintenance habits. On average, most extensions last between 3 to 6 months, but some can last longer.
Will my styling options be limited if I have hair extensions?
Not at all! A significant advantage of hair extensions is adding versatility to your look. Whether you want to add volume, experiment with different lengths or play with color, extensions can help you achieve new looks. Have fun and experiment! Our stylists are always happy to provide personalized styling tips and recommendations based on your extension type and desired aesthetic.
Some ideas include:
- Create beachy waves by using a large-barrel curling iron or wand.
- Add volume by gently teasing the roots at the crown and smoothing over with a brush.
- Experiment with different part lines to change up your look.
- Style sleek, straight locks with a flat iron for a polished, sophisticated look.
- Create a half-up, half-down hairstyle to showcase the length and volume of your extensions.
- Add soft, face-framing layers to enhance your natural features.
- Create a voluminous, high ponytail for a chic and effortless look.
- Style big, bouncy curls with a large-barrel curling iron for a glamorous appearance.
- Braid your extensions for a boho-inspired, textured look.
- Secure a Halo piece high on your head and pin your natural hair around it to create a quick and easy updo.
- Try different hair accessories, like headbands or clips.
What are the best hair extensions?
The best extensions for you depend on your individual needs, lifestyle and budget. Human hair extensions, particularly Remy human hair, offer the most natural look and versatility. We'll help you choose the perfect type for your lifestyle and long-term goals during your consultation.
Are there special cuts or colors that work better for having hair extensions?
Yes. When considering hair extensions, choose a haircut and color that will complement your new length and volume to create a seamless blend with your natural hair.
Extension-Friendly Haircuts
- Long, layered cuts: Layers help to create movement and dimension in your hair, making your extensions look more natural and blended.
- Textured ends: Adding texture to the ends of your hair can help disguise the transition between your natural hair and extensions, creating a more seamless look.
- Face-framing layers: Shorter layers around your face can help to soften your features and create a more natural-looking blend with your extensions.
Extension-Friendly Colors
- Balayage and ombré: These techniques create a gradual blend from your natural hair color to your extensions.
- Rooted colors: Choosing a color for your extensions that matches your natural root color can help create a more seamless and natural-looking blend.
- Lowlights and highlights: Adding dimension to your extensions with lowlights and highlights can help mimic the natural variation in your hair, creating a more authentic look.
When choosing a haircut and color for your extensions, consider your face shape, skin tone and personal style.
What is hair extension care and maintenance like?
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity of your hair extensions and reduce damage to your natural hair. By following these care and maintenance tips, you can prolong the life of your extensions and keep them looking gorgeous day after day.
Shampooing:
- Gently brush your extensions before washing to remove tangles and prevent matting.
- Use a sulfate-free, extension-friendly shampoo to cleanse your hair and extensions.
- Focus on cleaning the scalp and avoid rubbing the extensions excessively.
- Avoid bonds by applying a lightweight, moisturizing conditioner from mid-length to ends.
- Use a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle the extensions while the conditioner is still in.
Drying and Styling:
- Air dry your extensions whenever possible, or use a low-heat setting on your blow dryer.
- Use a heat protectant spray and keep heat tools at a low temperature.
- Brush your extensions gently with a soft-bristled brush, starting from the ends and working your way up.
Maintenance:
- Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase for reduced friction and tangling.
- Braid hair before bed to minimize tangling or matting.
- Avoid swimming or exposing your extensions to harsh chemicals, like chlorine or salt water.
- Schedule and attend regular appointments with your stylist to maintain your extensions.
What is the least damaging hair extension type?
The least damaging hair extensions don't require heat, adhesives, or tight pulling on the natural hair. Halo and clip-in extensions are the least damaging option and don't stress hair.
Tape-in extensions are a relatively low-damage option, as they are lightweight and don't require heat for application. They use a gentle adhesive tape that won't harm your hair when applied and removed correctly.
Micro-link extensions can also be less damaging than other methods. The tiny silicone-lined beads allow the extensions to be attached without heat or glue, minimizing the risk of damage.
