Everyday care
- Brush gently from the ends upwards with a soft loop or extension brush, holding the hair at the root.
- Wash with a sulphate-free shampoo and keep conditioner away from tapes, rings and bonds.
- Dry the roots fully after washing; damp tapes and bonds are more likely to slip.
- Use a heat protector before straightening or curling.
- Sleep with hair in a loose plait or on a silk pillowcase to prevent tangles.
- Book regular maintenance appointments so your extensions stay secure and comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do tape-in extensions last?
With good care, tape-ins are usually moved up (re-taped) every 6 to 8 weeks as your own hair grows. Good-quality human hair can be re-used for several fittings.
Can I colour or heat-style human hair extensions?
Yes. Because they are 100% human hair you can curl, straighten and blow-dry them like your own. Always use a heat protector. Colour changes are best done by a professional, and going darker is easier than going lighter.
How do I choose the right shade?
Match the extensions to the ends of your hair, not the roots, in natural daylight. If you are between two shades, a rooted, ombré or balayage shade often blends best. You can always message us for advice before you order.
Which length should I choose?
20" suits most people wanting noticeable but natural length. 22" gives a longer, more dramatic look. If your own hair is short or very fine, a professional fitter can advise how much hair you need.

Can I swim or go to the gym?
Yes, but tie your hair up, rinse chlorine or salt water out as soon as possible, and avoid oil-based products near tape tabs or bonds.
