Hair extensions are strands of hair that are added to one's own hair using a fastening system to achieve different results: increase volume, length, and density. They are also used to add shine or highlights without the need for dyes, correct haircuts, and fill in split ends.

Hair extensions are a cosmetic procedure and are recommended for application to healthy hair. That is to say: there are some medical conditions that may make a minority of clients unsuitable for extensions. Suitability is assessed during a consultation session with your stylist, which is always free and without obligation.

The hair must be at least 2-3 cm long to assess whether extensions can be applied, although ideally, for a comfortable and more discreet application, it should be at least 8cm long.

While wearing extensions, the hair continues its normal growth cycle. Similarly, hair falls out and is renewed on our scalp every day as part of the hair cycle. A healthy person can lose between 100 and 150 hairs a day without this being alarming. 10% of the hair is in the "resting phase," meaning it is ready to fall out naturally. When wearing extensions for a period of time, they prevent all that hair from falling out while the extensions are in place. When the extensions are removed, that hair, which had already fallen out naturally, can be removed. Therefore, we can say that it's not that more hair falls out because of wearing extensions, but rather that the hair that falls out when the extensions are removed is the accumulated hair that falls out naturally day after day.

It depends on many factors. You need to answer several questions yourself: "What is your goal in getting extensions? Is it for special occasions or everyday wear? And, above all: What is your hair like?"

• If it's for specific events, clip-on hairpieces or fake ponytails are the most suitable.
• If it's for everyday use, fixed extensions are the most suitable.
• For fine, weak, or sparse hair, we recommend adhesive extensions. They are the least bulky, do not damage the hair, and can be reused more often.
• For normal or thick hair and a larger amount, we recommend any type of extension, whether adhesive, Italian keratin, clip-in, etc. There is considered to be enough hair to cover the extension, it holds the weight well, and it doesn't pull or damage the hair.
• It is important that the placement of fixed extensions be done by a professional.

No extension by itself damages the hair. It's only an addition that is attached to the root of your own hair. With correct placement, this extension should not pull, press, or rip out. While wearing the extension, the hair continues its normal growth cycle. If the care and maintenance instructions for the extensions are not followed, the person wearing them can indirectly damage their hair while wearing extensions.

To choose the ideal color, it's important to carefully analyze the color of the ends of your hair. This is where the transition from your hair to the extension will occur, regardless of the color of your roots. If you still have doubts, contact us, and we can give you a preliminary assessment.

The amount of extensions needed depends on your own hair. How much hair do you have?

• A little and thin – we recommend you try with 50-100 grams. Even if you want a large amount of extensions, you have to consider the possibility that they may not fit or be visible.
• Normal - Not too much, not too little - we recommend you try with 100-150 grams (to taste).
• A large quantity – We recommend that you use at least 150-200 grams of hair. There needs to be a balance between your hair quantity and the amount of extensions. If you have a lot of hair and use a small amount of extensions, unfortunately the effect on length will be "poor" and the ends will be sparse.

The care of extensions is explained step by step in the blog. Some of the most important instructions are as follows:

• Wash the extensions preferably with sulfate-free or paraben-free shampoos.
• Dry the hair 100% with a hairdryer, alternating between cool and hot air, from top to bottom.
• Always moisturize the extension from mid-length to ends.
• Detangle your hair before showering, while rinsing off the applied moisturizer, and after drying it with a hairdryer. Never do it outside the shower while wet, as it breaks the hair more.
• Do not touch the keratin/adhesive with mask/conditioner/serum.
• Do not apply serum or oils to the hair before using flat irons/curling irons.
• Never sleep with wet hair or apply heat from straighteners/curling irons to damp hair.
• Do not bleach or lighten the extension with bleach/other dyes, or set it with perms.
• To dye them, you will always have to use darker shades.
• Always sleep with your hair tied up in a braid or bun. No loose hair or regular ponytail.
• Do not use straighteners or curling irons on hair that has previously been treated with hairspray or gel.
• Do not wash or dry your hair upside down.

• Avoid combing them too roughly, pulling them, doing it quickly and in a hurry.
• Avoid breaking the hair at the ends and/or pulling it out from the root. The way you brush your hair is as important as the brush you use. You should use a brush that doesn't split the hair, with soft bristles, rubber, or boar hair. Avoid hard or aluminum combs. For correct brushing, you should make several sections in the hair and brush it strand by strand, very carefully from the ends upwards. Avoid very tight high ponytails – they pull hair out from the root, leaving the hairs hanging on the extension, and when the extension is removed, everything falls out at once, giving the sensation that a lot of hair has been pulled out because of the extension.
• Avoid washing your hair with very hot water – Very hot water is harmful to the scalp, causing the pores to open and allowing more hair to fall out. Similarly, not rinsing and clarifying the hair properly after washing can leave residue on the scalp, which can cause itching, flaking, and discomfort when wearing extensions.
• Have the maintenance performed on time and in the proper manner, by a professional.
• Ensure the hair is 100% dry after washing. Besides the unpleasant smell of wet hair, it causes tangles in the extension, making it difficult to detangle, which can lead to hair pulling. In addition to the above, it affects the appearance of the extension and can weaken the extension's attachment, causing it to fall out.
• The continuous use of bleach or dyes, straighteners or curling irons, causes the extension to lose its strength and become drier, causing breakage, tangling, etc.

There is no standard answer: the duration depends on the extensions and the maintenance.

• Keratin extensions, even with excellent quality and proper maintenance, can last up to 4-5 months, and after that, depending on the care, they can be reused 1 more time.
• Adhesive extensions, on the other hand, if kept in good condition, last on average up to 3 months and, after replacing the adhesive, can be reused as many times as desired and as long as the hair is in optimal condition for it.
• Removable dentures and extensions last depending on the time of use. With occasional use, the duration extends to more than a year.

Yes. They can always be dyed darker or color-toned within the same tone level. The continuous and excessive use of bleach or dyes causes the extension to lose its strength and become drier, causing breakage, tangling, and significantly shortening the product's lifespan.

Yes. After washing, the extensions pick up a little volume and a very soft wave, so to make them straight, you will have to iron them. Continued and excessive use of heat from the straightener/curler will considerably shorten the product's lifespan.

We do not recommend it, because the extension's attachment can be damaged, causing the extension to fall out. Perms are highly damaging to extension hair.

It shouldn't be noticeable if the amount of extension is appropriate and the placement is done by a professional.

There's no standard answer: the application time varies depending on the type of extension (keratin or adhesive), the desired type of application, and of course, the manual skills of the professional. Generally, an application can take from 1 hour to 4 hours.
