Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Extensions

How long can my extensions be?

You can have any length you want up to about 26"-30". Anything longer than this puts extra weight on your scalp which may lead to uneven pressure and damage to your own hair. The best looking hair extensions for average height women are usually around 22" or less.

Can I wear my hair up?

Sure, the Extensions should not be applied any lower than the base of your scalp (about even with the middle of your ears) and so your hair under this point covers the extensions while you wear it in pigtails, ponytails, french twists, french braids etc.

Does it hurt?

Will it pull my hair out?No, no, NO! If it hurts get out of there! The Extensions artist should braid the tracks firmly but comfortably. The tension should be even all over your head with no points pulling or hurting. Do not put up with someone telling you it has to be really tight in order to be secure. Pulling your hair out is not the idea. You will know you have something on your head for the first day or two but after that you won't even feel that they are there.

What about my re-growth. I'm a natural brunette but want blonde extensions.

Easy. The colorist just has to work around the extensions. This makes your color cheaper because effectively you only color the crown and hairline. It also means that the hair in the braid remains virgin and when you eventually have the extensions off your own hair is in brilliant condition.

Other stylists or other hair companies say that glues, polymers, bonds will damage my hair.

False. For a hair company to get a patent on their hair or methods, it must be FDA approved. Their chemists have tested it numerous times. The patent process is not an easy task so they must truly believe in their bond quality. The only things that will damage your hair extensions are poor maintenance and keeping them on longer than 12 weeks. We offer all types of methods including polymers. We are very open-minded and will give you suggestions rather than oppose. Stylists that say that are educated in only 1-method or Hair companies who say that only sell 1 technique or Clients who bad-mouthed were never educated on proper care or had the wrong method. Any hair extension artists or any hair company must talk bad about another technique. Why? Because they do not offer that other technique and therefore they will not make money if they sell you something they don't even offer. So they advertise and claim to have the 'best hair extensions in the world', get it? We offer a wide variety so you know the real facts. Don't limit your education and option to just 1 method. Do your research. Decide for your own self, not them. Beware also of unprofessional and very uneducated remarks; "mine is the best method in the world"; "I can do it for less money than the pros", "their method will ruin your hair", "glue, heat, metal, is bad for your hair".

Do all websites that say hair extensions damage hair because of glue, weaves, or metals not true?

Yes. Only the inexperienced stylists would advertise such comments. Also only companies that offer a one-size-fits-all would advertise that, and those who have been victims bad-mouth. Highly experienced licensed cosmetologists and who are top producers would never say that. Another thing, not a lot of salons offer this kind of specialty so their lack of knowledge in this field is minimal. They'll sell you whatever option they are knowledgeable in hoping to make some money. On the other hand, top producers get at least 5 clients per week and they offer a wide variety of options. They are called The Specialists - like us. An example, those who claim had bad experiences did not have their extensions installed correctly, maintained properly or removed patiently. Hair extensions require heavy patience. Your hair has many different lengths. With equal distribution, even placement and using correct sized attachment will not cause the horror stories inexperienced people speak of.
