Hair Extension FAQs
Micro Bead Hair Extensions FAQs
-
Micro bead hair extensions typically last up to three months with minimal maintenance. How long they last can vary, but they are designed to provide lasting length and volume.
-
No. Micro bead extensions do not use glue or other chemicals for application. Your natural hair is looped through tiny silicone beads that create a foundation for attaching the extensions.
-
Yes. Micro bead hair extensions can be used on all hair textures. Proper application is important, so having them installed by an experienced hair extension specialist can help you get the best results.
-
Yes. Because micro bead extensions do not use glue or chemical adhesives, adjustments and removal are quick and easy. This is one reason micro beads are a popular hair extension option.
Sew-In Hair Extensions FAQs
-
With sew-in extensions, your natural hair is braided into a cornrow to create a foundation. The hair extensions are then sewn onto that foundation using a needle and thread.
-
Sew-in hair extensions typically last about three months without adjustments. This makes them a good option for someone looking for a longer-lasting extension method.
-
Yes. Sew-in hair extensions can be used on any hair texture. They are designed to securely hold a significant amount of extension hair while creating a beautiful, natural-looking result.
-
No. Sew-in extensions are attached using a needle and thread rather than glue or chemical adhesives. They can also be removed without the use of chemicals.
Tape-In Hair Extensions FAQs
-
Tape-in extensions are applied by placing a thin layer of your natural hair between two 1½-inch pieces of extension hair with an adhesive base. This creates a flat attachment that lies close to the scalp.
-
Yes. Tape-in extensions are especially effective for thin or fine hair. Because the extensions lie flat against the scalp, the attachment areas are designed to be very difficult to detect.
-
Tape-in hair extensions typically last between 6 and 12 weeks. They require more frequent salon visits than some other extension methods to keep them looking their best.
-
Yes. Unlike micro beads and sew-ins, tape-in hair extensions require a chemical agent for removal because an adhesive base is used to attach the extensions.
Individual/Fusion Hair Extensions FAQs
-
Individual or fusion hair extensions are applied strand by strand. They can be attached by fusing keratin bonds with heat or by cold fusing the extensions with micro beads.
-
Individual or fusion hair extensions typically last up to 12 weeks without maintenance. Because they are applied strand by strand, both the application and removal process take more time than some other extension methods.
-
Yes. Individual and fusion hair extensions can be worn with your hair up or down. Their strand-by-strand application provides versatile movement and a natural, lightweight flow.
-
Individual or fusion extensions are a good option for someone who wants versatile styling, natural movement, and a lightweight feel. They require more application and removal time and can cost more than some other methods, but their flexibility and natural flow make them a popular choice.
