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.
A full-head fitting usually takes 2 to 4 hours. Tape-ins are quicker, often around 1 to 2 hours. Micro-bond or micro-ring work takes longer because each strand is attached one by one. Speed also depends on how many grams are being applied and whether any cutting or blending is included.
Most human-hair extensions tolerate heat up to 180 degrees Celsius. Bleach lightens them but weakens the fibre, so lift by no more than one level. Repeated toners shorten lifespan. Always ask the stylist to perform a strand test before any colour service on attached extensions.
Visible gaps between bonds, matting near the roots, or extensions sitting at very different lengths all suggest rushed work. Discomfort during fitting, glue showing on tape-ins, or beads that pinch the scalp are also red flags. A good result looks even, feels light, and allows free movement without pulling or snapping sounds.
Most full-head applications use between 100 and 200 grams of hair, depending on the desired thickness. Adding volume to fine hair often needs only 50 to 80 grams. The length and weight of each strand affects the final look, so heavier double-drawn hair gives more coverage per gram than single-drawn hair.
