Hair Extensions
We offer maintenance on all our extensions!
Tape In Extensions
Pre-taped extensions and then taped/glued together on either side of your own hair. This process usually takes approximately 1 hour to 2 hour to apply and if the extensions are in good condition, and they can be re-used. Tape-ins are considered semi-permanent. Typically, they last 4 – 8 weeks before you need to remove and re-apply them.
Sew In Extensions
Weave hair is applied by braiding the natural hair into cornrows first, then using a needle and thread to sew the weave into the braid or cornrow. Weave hair extensions are predominantly used for people with thicker hair because of the way they are applied. This process usually takes 3-4 hours. This application method can feel tight and often puts a strain on the scalp and can feel very heavy or uncomfortable, specially the first few days, which is why it’s not recommended for people with thin or lighter hair. It is recommended to remove the weave every 6 – 8 weeks, especially if you are trying to grow your own hair. The maximum amount of time you should have a full weave in your hair is 4 months as it will affect your natural hair's growth.
Microlink Extensions
Microlink hair extensions are also known as micro bead hair extensions or micro loop hair extensions. These are applied by attaching tiny wefts of hair to small sections of the natural hair with a small silicone-lined bead. Then, a special tool is used to secure the bead to the hair and tightened to hold it in place. Although this method does not use heat or glue, if not installed correctly can be damaging on the hair. This method takes approximately 2 – 4 hours to apply. You can wash them the same way you would your natural hair and use the same styling products. They need re-positioning every 2 – 3 months as the natural hair grows and the microbeads move away from the scalp.
Fusion & Pre Bonded Extensions
Fusion hair extensions (also known as bonding or pre-bonded) are fused to natural hair using different adhesives such as glue. Applying pre-bonded hair extensions take approximately 3-4 hours to apply. This application is managed and treated the same way as your real hair. You can use the same products you would normally use, however, the extensions need re-positioning every 2–3 months as the natural hair grows.
