Q: Will having hair extensions look false or like I'm wearing a wig?
A: All extensions are matched perfectly to your own hair's weight and colour so you get a very natural look. Extensions shouldn't look like they are extensions - that's the secret.
Q: How long to hair extensions last for?
A: All extensions will last around 3 months and if looked after well they could last longer. When applying them, we will tell you how to care for them and keep them in good condition.
Q: How long does it take you to apply hair extensions?
A: The time to apply hair extensions varies depending on if you want a full change of length or just a few to enhance your own hair. A few pieces to add a flash of colour will obviously take less time than a full head of hair. Typically, it can take anything from 30 minutes to 7 hours to apply hair extensions. By far the majority of applications can be completed in a very reasonable space of time -
Q: I'm worried that after I have hair extensions my hair can't be touched. How do I keep my scalp clean and what if my boyfriend runs his hands through my hair?
A: With hair that great, it's hardly suprising that he'll want to touch it more! Don't worry - the hair extensions are applied about one centimeter away from the scalp so you can still touch and wash your hair as normal.
Q: Does it require a lot of work to maintain hair extensions? Are they difficult to upkeep?
A: Hair extensions are actually very easy to look after, although you very likely will notice that it will take a little bit longer to dry and style your hair because you will have more of it! You can treat hair extensions pretty much like you would your own hair.
Q: Do you mean that I can style my hair extensions?
A: Oh yes! You can use a hot hairdryer, straighteners, curling tongs and heated rollers or just let your hair dry naturally. Hair extensions will dry with a natural wave if you do that, but as you can see they can be styled however you want. Always remember to protect your investment by using heat protecting products as recommended by the salon.
Q: Can you ever have too many hair extensions? Could it damage my hair?
A: Yes, there is a limit and that's why it's worth your while choosing an experienced hair extension stylist, like Kirsty, to apply your hair extensions for you. Having seen so many heads we know exactly how much hair extension to put onto your own hair and how much your hair can take. We endeavour to make sure that we only use a safe amount so that there is no danger to your natural hair, whatever condition it is in.
Q: So is it damaging having hair extensions?
A: It might be if we glued them to your head, but we don't!!! The bonding we'll use when applying your hair extensions is a Protein based bonding (not glue!) so it is non-damaging to your hair. We can also order pre-bonded hair extentensions that may be reused.
Q: How many hair extensions would I need to lengthen my hair?
A: To lengthen your hair, the average person needs about 130 hair extensions. Having said that, it very much depends on the thickness of your own hair.
