Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are Hair Extensions

    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.

  • How many packets do I need for a full head of Hair Extensions?

    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.

  • How long will it take to add extensions to my own hair?

    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.

  • How can I do Hair Extensions by myself?

    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.

  • How long do Hair Extensions usually last until they fall out or you have to take them out?

    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.

  • Will my new hair feel heavy?

    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.

  • Can I use a hair dryer

    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.

  • Is it safe to leave my hair to dry naturally?

    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.

  • What is real Remy 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.

  • Can I colour my Hair Extensions?

    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.

Hair Extension After Care

  • Washing Hair Extensions
    • Brush your extensions before washing so that they do not become tangled. Using a soft bristle brush, gently start at the ends of your hair and work your way up.
    • Always use a moisturising shampoo and conditioner - it will nourish and give the extensions a longer life. We recommend using a Moisturising Shampoo and Conditioner. Do not apply conditioner to the areas where the extensions are attached.
    • Use warm water (never hot) when washing your hair extensions and always tilt your head back - never tip your head forward.
    • After washing, pat dry and squeeze gently (do not rub, massage or twist).
    • To dry, blast the roots with a cool heat to dry bonds before styling.
    • No products should be used on extension bonds other than what has been recommended.
    • For those using clip-in hair extensions, you should only need to wash them after you have worn them around 4-6 times. Again, detangle before washing, soak in warm water letting the water run from the clip end down and apply a moisturising shampoo and conditioner. Gently run your fingers from the clip end downwards to clean the extensions. But do not scrub or twist. Pat dry with a towel and gently detangle. Finally, store your clip-in hair extensions with the clips closed to avoid any tangling.

  • Styling Hair Extensions
    • If you style your hair a lot, either blow drying or with straighteners, use a heat protector spray such as heat Protector Spray so that less damage is caused.
    • Separate hair to avoid matting and detangle hair gently with extension brush.
    • Always blow dry your hair on a low setting.
    • Do not use wax or oils near your hair extension bonds.
    • Do not twist or play with the hair extension seals as they may loosen.
    • It is advised not to tint, colour or perm the hair extensions as the hair is already processed.
    • Do not attempt to remove your hair extensions yourself.
