Hair Extension FAQ's
We offer three types of 100% ethically sourced weft extensions:
- Hand-Tied Wefts: These are meticulously crafted by hand and provide a lightweight and natural look.
- Machine Sewn Wefts: These wefts are sewn by machines, offering a durable and robust option for thicker hair.
- Hybrid Wefts: Combining the best of both worlds, hybrid wefts are a blend of hand-tied and machine-sewn techniques, providing both strength and flexibility.
The process of getting hair extensions at a salon typically takes around 1-2 hours. If you are adding additional services such as coloring, please be prepared for an increase in the overall time required.
The lifespan of hair extensions can vary depending on the type of extensions, the quality of the hair, and how well they are taken care of. Generally, if properly maintained, hair extensions can last anywhere from 3 months to 6 months. However, some higher-quality extensions can last up to a year or longer with careful maintenance. It’s important to schedule re-ties to ensure the longevity of your hair extensions.
es, you can wash and style your weft hair extensions similarly to your natural hair. However, there are a few important points to keep in mind:
- Shampoo: It’s recommended to use sulfate-free and gentle shampoo and conditioner to cleanse your extensions. Avoid harsh rubbing or scrubbing, as this can cause tangling or damage. Instead, gently massage the products into the hair and rinse thoroughly. Be sure to wash your extensions less frequently than your natural hair to preserve their longevity. We recommend using Cuticle Lissehair care and styling products. Learn more at CuticleLisse.com.
- Styling: You can style your weft hair extensions using heat tools, but it’s crucial to use heat protection spray beforehand. Set your tools to a lower temperature and avoid applying excessive heat directly to the weft. Additionally, avoid tugging or pulling on the extensions when styling to prevent strain on your natural hair.
- Brushing: Use a wide-tooth comb or a brush with soft bristles to detangle your extensions gently. Start at the ends and work your way up to avoid causing unnecessary tension or damage. Avoid brushing when the hair is wet, as it can be more prone to breakage.
When hair extensions are properly maintained, they will not cause significant damage to your natural hair. In fact, the only patented, non-damaging solution is the Glamour Locks system.
- Professional Application: Make sure your extensions are applied by a Glamour Locks professional stylist who is certified in our method and or has experience with the type of extensions you are using.
- Proper Maintenance: Follow the care instructions provided for your specific type of extensions. This includes gentle brushing, avoiding excessive heat, and using recommended hair care products.
- Avoiding Tension: Ensure that the extensions are not too tight, which can cause stress on your natural hair. Also, avoid styles that pull excessively on the extensions.
- Regular Check-ups: Schedule regular check-ups with your stylist to maintain the health of your hair and extensions, and address any issues promptly.
By following these guidelines and choosing the Glamour Locks system, you can enjoy the benefits of hair extensions without compromising the health of your natural hair.
Synthetic hair extensions are made from synthetic fibers, typically made of acrylic or polyester. They are created to mimic the appearance of real hair and offer a wide range of colors and textures. However, they tend to have a more artificial shine and can easily tangle or become damaged when exposed to heat styling tools.
On the other hand, human hair extensions are made from real human hair. This means they look and feel more natural, blending seamlessly with your own hair. They can be styled with heat tools, washed, and treated like your real hair. Human hair extensions also tend to last longer and maintain their quality and softness over time.
In summary, the main differences between synthetic hair extensions and human hair extensions are the material used, the natural appearance and feel of the hair, and how they can be styled and cared for.
