About Hair Extensions
What usually drives the price up or down
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
What health and scalp risks to watch for
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.
How long a fitting appointment takes
A full tape-in application takes about 1 to 2 hours. Micro-ring or keratin bond fittings run 3 to 5 hours for a full head. Touch-ups and repositioning usually take 1 to 2 hours. Ask the salon to confirm the expected duration so you can plan around it properly.
What hair extension methods exist today
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.
Scalp and hair health risks
Heavy extensions can pull on follicles and cause traction alopecia over time. Symptoms include sore spots, small bumps, or thinning around the temples and hairline. Adhesive allergies are also possible. If the scalp feels tender after fitting, the weight or placement should be reviewed before the next wear.
