Question 1

How long do hair extensions last?

Accepted Answer

The longevity of hair extensions depends upon the type you go for. Tape-in hair extensions last between 4-8 weeks; clip-ins can last 6-12 months depending on how well you take care of them; weaves (sew-in extensions) last 6-8 weeks; and both bond extensions and microlinks can last up to 12 weeks. You can extend their lifespan by looking after them correctly, so ask your stylist for advice.

Question 2

How can I best look after my hair extensions?

Accepted Answer

You should care for real hair extensions just as you would your natural hair: brush, wash and condition them without overdoing it at the root, which could loosen the bonding. Synthetic extensions can be washed in cool water with a small amount of mild shampoo before applying a leave-in conditioner. It’s also advisable to book once-monthly appointments with your stylist to ensure the proper upkeep of your hair extensions.
