Most full-head applications use between 100 and 150 grams of hair, depending on length and desired density. Fine hair usually needs fewer grams to avoid tension at the roots. The stylist should weigh the bundles in front of you. Adding too much weight is a frequent cause of traction damage.
Most human hair extensions tolerate flat irons up to 180°C, but bonds can loosen above 200°C. Repeated bleaching shortens lifespan because cuticle layers wear down. Toning or semi-permanent glosses are safer than full bleach. Always test a small hidden strand before applying any strong chemical product.
Ask which brand and grade of hair is used, how many grams will be applied, and who performs the fitting. Request before and after photos of similar hair types. Confirm the refit schedule, total cost per session, and what happens if a bond or tape slips within the first week.
A correct match compares the mid-lengths and ends, not just the roots, because extensions sit below the crown. The stylist should hold 3 to 4 swatches under natural light. If highlights are present, two or three tones may be blended. Mismatched colour is one of the most common complaints after a fitting.
Use sulphate-free shampoo and avoid scrubbing the bonds. Apply conditioner from mid-lengths down, never on the bonds. Brush with a loop brush or wide-tooth comb, starting at the ends and working up. Sleeping on a silk pillowcase and tying hair in a loose braid reduces friction and morning tangles.
Method, hair grade and length are the main cost drivers. Tape-in starts lower per gram; keratin bond costs more in labour. Hair longer than 50 cm is priced higher. The number of grams applied also matters. Always request a breakdown showing hair cost, fitting time and any future refits.
Quality depends on whether the hair is virgin, remy or non-remy. Remy keeps cuticles aligned, which reduces tangling. Virgin hair has never been chemically treated and lasts the longest. Synthetic fibres cannot be heat-styled and matte faster. Always ask to see the brand label and origin before any strands are attached.
Tape-ins need moving up every 6 to 8 weeks as natural hair grows. Micro-bonds and micro-rings often need refit every 3 to 4 months. Each visit can take 1 to 3 hours. Skipping maintenance causes tangling at the roots, slippage, and stress on the natural hair where the extension is attached.
Tension alopecia appears as thin patches along the parting or temples. Redness, itching or small bumps near the attachments usually signal a reaction to adhesive or metal. Heavy wefts pulling on fine hair can cause breakage. Request a pull test before any installation begins to reduce risks.
The main methods are tape-in, micro-ring, keratin bond, sew-in wefts and clip-ins. Tape-in uses adhesive strips and lasts about 6 to 8 weeks. Keratin bonds use heat-fused tips and can last up to 4 months. Each method suits different hair types, budgets and maintenance habits, so ask which one the stylist recommends before booking.
