Frequently Asked Questions

Hair extensions, whether real human hair extensions, synthetic options, or virgin hair, are a quick solution to add length, volume, or both to your hair. They work by being clipped, taped, sewn in, or keratin-bonded to your natural hair, blending seamlessly to create a fuller look. If you're searching for the best hair extensions for thin hair or a natural appearance, they’re a perfect choice.

The main types of hair extensions are clip-in, tape-in, sew-in (weave), fusion (bonded), halo, and micro-link extensions. Each type serves different needs:

  • Clip-ins: Ideal for those seeking temporary hair extensions for special occasions.
  • Tape-ins: Great for adding volume with long-lasting hair extensions.
  • K-tip/Flat-tip extensions: This type of extension is very durable and can be styled however you want. It is recommended for very thin hair and is often called the "invisible bond." Durable for 10 to 18 weeks.
  • I-tip extensions/Nano extensions: These extensions are suitable for both thin and thick hair. Their durability spans 6 to 10 weeks.
  • Sew-ins: Best for individuals with thick hair looking for durable extensions.

Discover which type works best for you with our guide to choosing the right hair extensions.

Hair extensions are made from either real human hair or virgin hair. Human hair extensions are preferred for their natural look, ability to be styled with heat tools, and long lifespan. They are sourced from countries like Mongolia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Virgin hair extensions, while more affordable, are collected from different donors and are better suited for short-term use or those looking for budget-friendly options.

The lifespan of hair extensions varies:

  • Virgin hair extensions: Last 3–9 months with proper care.
  • Human raw donor hair: Lasts 1–6 years with proper care.

To extend their lifespan:

  • Use sulfate-free shampoos for hair extensions.
  • Avoid excessive heat styling.
  • Store them in a cool, dry place.

When applied and maintained properly, hair extensions should not damage your natural hair. For instance, tape-in extensions or keratin bonds for thin hair are lightweight and gentle, reducing stress on the roots. However, improper application or leaving them in too long can lead to damage. Consult a professional stylist to ensure your hair extensions are safe for daily use.

Choosing the right extensions involves considering your hair type, lifestyle, and desired outcome. Use a hair extension color-matching tool to find your perfect shade. For fine hair, try lightweight tape-ins; for thick hair, keratin bonds or clip-ins work well. Read our guide on how to choose the best hair extensions for your hair type for detailed advice.

Yes, real human hair extensions can be washed and styled like natural hair. Use sulfate-free shampoos and avoid excessive heat to maintain their quality. While human hair extensions can be dyed, consult a stylist for the best results.
