Keratin bond (fusion) extensions are known for their natural look and longevity. Browse and book bond extension specialists near you on Fresha.

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.

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.

Hair extensions are real or synthetic hair pieces attached to natural hair to add length, volume, or colour. Methods include tape-in, clip-in, micro-link, weft, keratin bond, and halo extensions, each suited to different hair types and lifestyle needs.

Tape-in extensions last 6–8 weeks before a move-up; keratin bond extensions 3–5 months; weft extensions 2–3 months; clip-in extensions can be used indefinitely. Regular maintenance appointments extend the life of permanent extensions.

The best method depends on your hair type, lifestyle and goals. Fine hair is often suited to tape-in or micro-link extensions; thick hair can usually support most methods. An extension specialist will assess your hair during a consultation to recommend the best approach.
