Hair Extensions are a technique of adding hair that is not your own onto your own hair. This is achieved by different methods (Weaving, Braiding, Bonding, Strand by Strand, Latch hook etc). They are applied by skilled hair professionals and offer instant methods of changing your appearance. They can be washed, cut and styled to a person's individual taste.

For hair weft under 18 inches for thin hair , one packet of 100g is enough for a full head. Over 18 inches and thicker hair, you should need more than one, about 2-3 packets. If a hairdresser is doing your hair it is advisable to check with them as to how much you require for the hairstyle. For the pre bonded hair, you should need 100-200 strands (4-8 packets)  depending on the grams per strand. Once again this depends on the style. For other methods e.g. strand by strand you will need to consult with your hair extensionist.

It depends on what you want. If you are looking for just a few temporary extensions before you go out and dazzle at a party, or to enhance your confidence ahead of a mini-break with someone special, having hair added in need not to be a long process. However, if you are looking for a bigger and more permanent transformation it can take 2hours.

Clip in hair extensions, Instant clip in hair extensions and One-piece quick fit hair extensions can be applied by yourself. For all other hair extensions including weft, pre-bonded and micro-loop we advise you seek a qualified professional hair dresser to fit your hair extensions.

Human Hair Extensions usually lasts up to three months providing they have been cared for correctly using products designed for Hair Extensions. Weaves or braided wefts should be reapplied much sooner than that - every 4-8 weeks.

At first you will definitely notice your extra hair. The extra volume may also initially be an enjoyable novelty - but it is surprising how quickly you get used to having a gloriously full head of hair. Our extensions are so closely matched in look and weight to your real hair that, within hours, they start feeling entirely your own.

Yes, all of the above can be used with 100% human hair and heat resistant synthetic hair extensions, however care must be taken by using a heat protector spray to avoid heat damage. Heat cannot be used on synthetic hair extensions that are not heat- resistant. Please read our Hair Extension Aftercare guide which explains how to care for your hair extensions correctly.

Yes, once again, you can treat your extensions just like your own hair. Wet extensions look just as natural and organic as freshly washed hair. But, do not sleep on wet hair.

Remy Hair is considered to be the finest quality of human hair. Cuticles are kept intact and aligned in the same direction, creating a smooth and natural appearance. This process ensures that the hair remains soft, silky and tangle free.

We do not recommend that you colour the hair extensions as the quality of the hair cannot be guaranteed after it has been coloured. Just like your own real hair, colouring the extensions can cause damage and weakness; therefore it will shorten the life span of the extensions. If you choose to colour your extensions, we suggest testing it on a small area of the hair first to ensure the colour takes to the hair and does not cause damage. Please note, we do not accept returns under any circumstances if the hair has been coloured.

 TOP TIP: While exercising, tie your hair up so that it prevents tangling. If you swim, always wear a swimming cap. Chlorine damages hair extensions just as it does to your own hair! A good tip is to coat your hair thoroughly with a mixture of water and conditioner if you go swimming, and wash thoroughly afterwards, applying a generous amount of conditioner. Also, when sleeping tie your hair in a loose plait to minimise tangling and matting.
