Frequently asked questions

what shampoo/conditioner should i be using?

We recommend using a non-acidic shampoo to maintain the integrity and longevity of the hair. Our top recommendation is Big Hit by Amika. Using a non-acidic shampoo helps minimize shedding and tangling while keeping the hair soft, smooth, and manageable. We also recommend if you’re using conditioner to only apply conditioner from mid-shaft to ends. Applying conditioner directly on the base of the extensions can result in the extensions slipping out.

Can the weft/tape-ins last longer then 6-8 months?

Yes! the Weft and Tape-In extensions can last longer than 6–8 months, depending on how they are cared for at home. The 6–8 month timeframe is based on clients who wash and heat style their hair daily. Reducing the frequency of washing and heat styling can help extend the lifespan of the hair and maintain its overall quality.

Can i swim or exercise with the weft/Tape-ins?

We do not recommend swimming while wearing hair extensions. Chemicals found in swimming pools can alter the color of the hair and may compromise the integrity of the extensions. Ocean water can also cause the hair to become dry and may affect the bonds or beads used in tape-in and weft installations.

However, exercising is perfectly fine while wearing extensions. Normal physical activity and sweating will not negatively affect the hair extensions.

Can i wear my hair up with extensions?

Yes. When extensions are professionally installed, you can wear your hair up or down comfortably including ponytails, braids, and styled looks.
