Frequently asked questions about hair extensions

Hair extensions are a beauty treatment whose main goal is to transform your look by adding extra strands to your natural hair.

Hair extensions can increase length, thicken certain areas, or add volume to your hairstyle. They can also instantly change your look and style for any reason.

The duration of hair extensions depends on several factors: the type of materials used, the technique used, and the client's individual needs. On average, hair extensions last 2 to 3 months. However, it's important to remember that over time, as your natural hair grows, touch-ups may be necessary.

Caring for hair extensions involves several important aspects:

• Shampoos and conditioners: Use products specifically designed for hair extension care. Avoid harsh shampoos containing sulfates, which can damage the hair.
• Regular brushing: Brush your hair several times a day using a soft-bristled brush to avoid tangling.
