When investing in hair extensions, it’s natural to wonder how long they’ll last and what factors influence their longevity.

The truth is, the lifespan of your extensions depends on two key elements - the installation method and your commitment to maintenance.

Choosing the right extension type is crucial for achieving beautiful, natural-looking results that fit your lifestyle and hair needs.

Here’s an overview of the two installation methods we specialize in:

During installation, the wefts are sewn onto a beaded row we create with your natural hair, forming a seamless “halo” effect around your crown.

Lifespan: With proper care, these wefts can last 9+ months before needing replacement.
Ideal For: Clients with natural density and strong follicles.
Maintenance Schedule: These extensions need to be moved up every 7-10 weeks to accommodate hair growth and ensure they remain comfortable and discreet.

These individual strands are attached to your natural hair near the root using a keratin-based adhesive.

Lifespan: K-tips typically last 4-6 months before the hair needs to be replaced.
Ideal For: Clients who prefer extensions that blend seamlessly with finer densities and want a lower-maintenance option.
Maintenance Schedule: K-tips do not require salon visits in between installs, making them an excellent choice for busy lifestyles.

Proper maintenance is essential for both the longevity of your extensions and the health of your natural hair.

Fortunately, most of the habits that keep your extensions looking fabulous are also beneficial for your natural hair.

You’ll be sent home with a detailed care guide that includes how to wash, style, and even reminding you to brush your next hair regularly.
