Q. Will hair extensions damage my hair?
A. As long as the hair extensions are applied properly and you take the proper care of them there should be no damage. I have personally had clients with very thin hair have extensions for years with absolutely no damage. A lot of this depends on you. If you are a very restless sleeper you can damage your hair because the constant rubbing on a pillow can cause your hair to be pulled out. It is best to sleep with your hair is a braid or pony tail to help this. You need to be gentle with your hair. If you are used to just ripping a brush or comb through your hair they may not be for you. Using the correct brush helps and making sure your hair is kept tangle free and free flowing is very important. Extensions are not hard to take care of you just have to be aware of them so you don't catch them with a comb or your fingers.

Our number one recommendation is to run your finders between your bonds every day to keep your extensions separated.
-Brush once a day with a loop brush if your hair is thick or a natural bristle brush reinforced with nylon bristles for finer hair. lengths brush. So if you have a brush and it feels like it is tearing your hair out it probably is.
-Don't go to bed with wet hair.
-Wear a ponytail or braid to bed.
-Hold your hair at the roots or base when combing. This will keep tension off of your own hair.
-Dry your bonds after washing and you can let the rest air dry.
As long as you are gentle with your extensions you should be able to go 4-6 months with them in. Just try to enjoy them. They are not that hard to take care of.

Q. What is the shortest hair can be to get extensions?
A. The best minimum length for extensions is 5" long. This is especially important for the top layers. We can do extensions on hair as short as 3" long if you are desperate but will take extra extensions and extra expense to blend in all of the short hair so you don't get a "mullet" look. So if you can wait for 5" it's best measure with a ruler, you may be surprised at how long your hair actually is.

Q. Can I still highlight and color my hair with extensions in?
A. Yes, you can color all your roots with hair extensions. It is best to get them professionally done. Highlight the top and sides of your hair with foil. The extensions work as the rest of your highlights.

Q. Can you tell me why "Strand-by-Strand bonding or fusion" the extensions is better than "sewing" the extensions? It seems to be quite a bit more expensive.
A. When extensions are sewn on, (as in a weave) there are several solid rows of hair going from ear to ear across the back of your head. It is very difficult to properly shampoo your hair under this and because it tends to be very thick it can take many hours to dry making for an unhealthy condition. Over the weeks it can be very itchy and flaky. Strand-by-Strand fusion such as Vision, Great Lengths, and SoCap extensions are attached to a tiny 1/4 " section of your hair and are completely free flowing. You can run your fingers between every extension which make them the most comfortable, natural looking extensions. You are paying for the extra time it takes to apply and the high quality of the hair.

Q. My hair is really thin on top. Can extensions fill in the top of my hair?
A. Hair extensions are great to give your hair more fullness and length. But sometimes you need more coverage because the hair on the top of your head is too thin to properly cover the hair extension bonds. Sometimes we suggest the use of Topik to help fill in the hair on your top. Topik in addition to extensions can make your thin hair look thick again.
If your hair is too thin for Topik a hair replacement or hair piece may be needed. Please don't let the thought of a hair piece scare you. The way they are made today they are very natural and undetectable. Hair pieces can be custom made to perfectly blend in with your hair color and perfectly fit the contours of your head. For women the hair replacement can be long or short to blend into your hair and in no way looks like a wig. I wish more women would give this technology a chance because it can drastically improve the look and self esteem of a person. No one will ever know you have it on! Hair pieces can be taken on and off at home, with the use of clips or toupee tape, or can be more permanently attached at a salon. Retightening would be needed every 4-5 weeks. Email us or come in for a consultation to find out what would work best for you.
