Frequently Asked Questions

Let’s answer our most common asked questions about hair extensions

What type of hair do you supply?

We supply 100% ethically sourced, double-drawn Remy human hair. Remy means all the cuticles run in the same direction, so the extensions last longer and stay silky smooth. Our hair is made to match the natural texture of different hair types, making it super easy to blend. Plus, we’ve created a range of natural colors that match most hair tones, so there’s no need to change the color of your natural hair.

Can I colour my extensions?

Colouring hair extensions with toners or semi-permanent dyes is usually safe, but bleaching them isn't recommended for several reasons:

Structural Integrity: Bleaching can weaken the hair's structure, leading to damage and loss of luster.

Colour Change Limits: Extensions have limited colour range, and bleaching may cause unpredictable results and irreparable damage.

Lifespan Reduction: Bleaching accelerates wear and tear, shortening the extensions' lifespan.

Quality Maintenance: Proper care is crucial for extensions' longevity; toners and dyes maintain quality, but bleaching can compromise it.

For safe colour changes, consulting a professional stylist specialising in extensions is advisable.

Can I do nanoplasty on my extensions?

We do not recommend to do nanoplasty treatment on hair extensions. Here's why:

Chemical Sensitivity: Extensions, can react sensitively to the chemicals and heat involved in nano treatments.

Risk of Damage: Extensions have already undergone chemical processing, so subjecting them to additional treatments can lead to texture alterations, tangling, weakened bonds, or reduced lifespan.

Incompatibility: Nanoplasty treatments are meant for natural hair and may not work well with extensions, potentially causing damage.

Professional Maiden Hair Care: We recommend using our maiden hair care range for your extensions as we have spent time formulating this range to extend the longevity of the extensions.

For optimal extension care, use gentle, extension products and seek advice from a professional stylist upon considering treatments.

What are weft extensions and how are they applied?

Weft extensions are a popular choice for clients wanting to enhance their hair's length, volume, or colour. These extensions consist of a horizontal strip, known as a weft, made by sewing or stitching together individual hair strands. Wefts can vary in width and length, making them versatile for various hair goals. For a more natural look and feel, I recommend choosing weft extensions made from high-quality human hair.

What are tape extensions and how are they applied?

Tape extensions are a pretty sought-after hair extension method for some salons, known for their versatility and discreet appearance. These extensions consist of small wefts with a specialised tape or adhesive strip along their upper edge. Human hair being the preferred choice for a natural look and feel. Tape extensions are favored for their ease of application and comfortable wear. When applied by a professional stylist, they provide a beautiful and natural transformation that seamlessly integrates with your own hair.

What are microbeads and how are they applied?

Microbead extensions are individual strands of hair attached to your natural hair using small, silicone-lined microbeads or rings. These microbeads come in various colours to match your hair or blend in discreetly. Microbead extensions are made up of high-quality hair with human hair being the preferred choice for a more natural look and feel. Microbead extensions offer a comfortable and versatile solution for adding length and volume to your hair.

What are clipin extensions and how are they applied?

Clip-in extensions are temporary hair extensions that are easy to apply and remove. They consist of wefts of hair with clips attached to them. To apply clip-in extensions, you simply section off your hair, open the clips, and attach the pieces close to the roots of your natural hair. Then, you release the top section of your hair to cover the extensions, ensuring a seamless blend. Clip-in extensions are versatile and can add length, volume, and highlights to your hair in minutes, making them a popular choice for those looking for a quick and non-permanent hair transformation.

What are keratin bonds and how are they attached?

Keratin bonds are a popular method of attaching hair extensions to natural hair. These bonds consist of small strands of keratin, a protein that closely resembles natural hair. During application, individual hair extension strands to small sections of natural hair are applied using a heated keratin bond applicator. The heat melts the keratin, allowing it to bond securely to the natural hair. This process creates a strong and durable attachment that can last for several weeks.

keratin bonds are known for their natural look and feel, as well as their ability to blend seamlessly with natural hair.

They provide versatility in styling and can be used to add length, volume, or highlights to the hair. Proper maintenance and care are essential to ensure the longevity of keratin bond extensions.
