frequently asked Questions
How long do my extensions last?
The durability depends on the type of extension and the care. Tape-in extensions last about 6-8 weeks and can be repositioned several times after removal. We recommend using a gentle solvent to remove them and replacement tape strips or adhesive rolls to reposition them. You can find these under hair accessories. Keratin bonding extensions can last 4-6 months if well cared for.
The lifespan of our high-quality extensions is more than 12 months. However, careful care is recommended.
Are extensions harmful to natural hair?
When applied properly, hair extensions should not damage natural hair, but it is important to have them applied by an experienced professional and to ensure proper care.
Can the extensions be dyed or styled?
Yes, our extensions can be colored, styled and treated like natural hair. However , chemical products can damage the connection points and the hair structure . We therefore advise against chemically treating the extensions. If you still want to color the extensions, please use oxidants that contain a maximum of 6% H²O².
How should you wash hair extensions?
The frequency of washing your hair depends on various factors, such as hair type, activity and environment. It is recommended to wash your hair extensions every 2 to 3 days to avoid over-stressing them. Before washing, it is recommended to brush your hair with the extension care brush. Never wash your extensions upside down to avoid matting or loosening them. It is best to use a mild shampoo that is free of silicone and sulfates. A hair mask can be used as a treatment every time you wash your hair.

Should you let extensions air dry or blow dry them?
Hair extensions should ideally be air dried to maintain their structure and quality. However, the extensions can also be blow dried occasionally if you are pressed for time or it is unavoidable. Make sure that the connection points are always dry before styling or brushing the hair to avoid damage. It is important to treat the extensions gently and not to rub them too hard (eg with a towel) or pull on them.
Here are some general care tips for hair extensions:
- Gentle brushing with our special extension care brush.
- Protect yourself while sleeping by braiding or tying your hair into a loose ponytail to avoid tangles.
- Regular care by applying heat protection after washing your hair and using a care oil to seal the hair extensions.
- Avoid salt water and chlorine to protect your hair extensions. Instead, wear a swim cap or tie your hair in a ponytail to minimize damage from salt or chlorine.
