FAQs
CLASSIC WEFT VS MINI INVISIBLE WEFT

The mini invisible weft is machine tied and very thin at the seam. It the most advanced in weft technology and sits extremely flat on the scalp. It is applied using the air weft/hidden method and provides the most natural and comfortable result.
HOW DO I KNOW HOW MUCH HAIR I WILL NEED?
Each person has different needs and different hair types, that is why a consultation is needed before an extension service is provided. However, as a basic guide, a half head is for anyone just looking to add extra volume or fill in any gaps. Anyone looking to add extra length and volume or for anyone with thicker hair, a minimum of a full head of extensions will be required.
WHICH HOME HAIRCARE IS BEST FOR EXTENSIONS?
When shopping for home care that is extension safe, make sure you are choosing something that is Paraben free, Sulphate free and Protein free with low alcohol content. This will ensure that you get the maximum wear and the most longevity out of your extensions.
CAN I GO SWIMMING?
Yes you can swim with hair extensions! The best way to look after them whilst swimming is to either braid them or tie them back. Don’t forget to apply a heat protector beforehand as the UV rays can be just as damaging as using hot tools. Also be careful of getting sunscreen on them as this can cause discolouration.
TAPES VS WEFTS. WHICH ONE IS RIGHT FOR ME?
Tape extensions offer the ultimate discretion as they lie completely flat on the scalp, giving you a virtually undetectable application with the most natural result. They’re extremely lightweight, meaning that you barely feel them in your hair. They’re great for adding instant volume and length, and also work extremely well for people looking to fill out any gaps in the hair (particularly around the face).
Weft extensions are long-lasting and create the most luxurious and voluminous look. If it’s a major transformation that you are after, then wefts are your go-to extensions. They’re thicker, fuller and grow down with your natural hair, making them less noticeable and easier to maintain. They also cut your maintenance appointments in half as they are easier to re-lift, saving you more time to enjoy your beautiful new tresses.
