Professional Hair Extensions & Tools

Professional Hair Extension FAQ

• What makes professional hair extensions different from regular extensions?

  Professional hair extensions are designed for use by stylists and salons, offering premium quality, long-lasting wear, and a seamless blend. They are made with double-drawn 100% Remy human hair for superior fullness and durability.

• Do professional hair extensions require special maintenance?

  As with all extensions, professional hair extensions should be treated with care, using sulphate-free products and regular maintenance appointments to keep them in excellent condition and ensure they last as long as possible.

• How long do professional hair extensions last?

  With proper care, professional hair extensions can last anywhere from 4 to 9 months, depending on the type of extensions, maintenance routine, and individual hair growth. Extensions such as tape-ins, nano-tips, and flat-tips are designed for long-term wear but require regular upkeep to maintain their quality and bond strength. Regular salon visits are crucial to reposition the extensions as your natural hair grows, typically every 6 to 8 weeks.

• What’s the difference between regular hair extensions and professional hair extensions?

  Professional hair extensions are typically higher quality, longer-lasting, and require application by a trained stylist. They offer more durability and natural blending compared to other hair extension types.

• Can I colour professional hair extensions?

  While it’s possible to dye hair extensions, it’s not recommended as this will reduce their lifespan. It’s best to choose extensions that already match or closely resemble your desired shade.

• How do I care for my professional hair extensions at night?

  It’s best to loosely braid or tie your hair in a low ponytail before bed to avoid tangling. You can also sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and keep the extensions smooth.

• How often should I wash professional hair extensions?

  It’s best to wash your extensions sparingly, ideally no more than 1-2 times per week. Over-washing can weaken the bonds, leading to slippage, and may also cause the extensions to become dry and brittle over time. To preserve their quality, always use gentle, sulphate-free shampoos and conditioners, which help maintain the softness and shine of the hair without compromising the integrity of the bonds.

• How long does it take to apply professional hair extensions?

  The time varies depending on the method and the number of extensions applied. Nano-tips and flat-tips can take around 2-3 hours, while tape-ins can be quicker, taking around 1-2 hours.

• Can professional hair extensions be used on short hair?

  Yes, professional extensions can be applied to short hair, but it’s important to blend them properly for a natural look. A stylist may cut and layer the extensions to match your natural hair.

• How do I remove professional hair extensions?

  Professional hair extensions should always be removed by a trained stylist to avoid damage to your natural hair. The removal process is gentle and involves loosening the bonds or adhesive.

• What tools are needed to apply professional hair extensions?

  Tools such as nano-ring pliers, adhesive tape applicators, and beads are used to apply nano-tips, flat-tips, and tape-in extensions. These professional tools ensure a secure, long-lasting bond.
