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.
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.
Visible glue residue, bonds sitting too close to the scalp, and uneven lengths after blending are warning signs. Hair that tangles within days of fitting usually indicates non-remy fibre. Refusal to show the hair packet or to weigh it is another concern. Trust only stylists who document the process clearly.
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.
Good stylists check colour in daylight, not salon light. They compare the mid-lengths and ends, not just the roots, since extensions sit lower on the strand. Texture, density, and wave pattern also matter. Real human hair behaves like your own, while synthetic fibres melt under flat irons above 180°C.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
