About Hair Extensions
What maintenance and refits involve
Tape-in rows must be re-taped or moved up every 6 to 8 weeks. Keratin bonds slide down with growth and need full removal plus reapplication every 3 to 4 months. Micro-rings are repositioned in 45 to 90 minute sessions. Skipping refits causes matting near the scalp and tangling at the attachments.
How much hair you actually need
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.
How to choose the right extension hair
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.
Warning signs of poor extension work
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.
What changes the price you pay
Price depends on the hair origin (Remy costs more than non-Remy), the method used, and the number of grams fitted. A full-head micro-bond application takes longer than tape-ins, so labour is higher. Stylist experience, location overhead, and whether the hair is single-drawn or double-drawn all affect the final quote.
Heat and colour limits to know
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.
Maintenance visits and refits
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.
How much hair you really need
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.
Extension methods you can choose from
The main methods are tape-ins, micro-rings, micro-bonds, clip-ins, sew-in weaves, and keratin-tip strands. Tape-ins use adhesive panels and sit flat against the head. Micro-bonds use small keratin tips fused with heat. Micro-rings use tiny metal beads crimped onto natural hair. Each method lasts a different time and suits different hair types.
Questions to ask before you book
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.
