If you dream of flowing waist-length hair, summer beach waves, or a long, sleek ponytail, extensions can give you the change you want. Hair Extensions instantly lift fine hair, providing you with healthier longer lengths and giving you more range to experiment with hair.

When making a hair change like this, it's important to consider the post-treatment process and what you end up getting for your money. At Alien Hair, we stock an incredible range of real Hair extensions, so you can rest assured that you're getting the best results as well as the right care for your Hair. Whether you're considering extensions for the first time or seeking advice after trying them out, we can tell you how long they can last and offer some helpful tips and advice to help you keep your hair fresh.

What types of hair extensions can you do?

Temporary hair

Temporary methods, such as clipping or filling, are added to large hair for immediate transformation. Temporary methods are great if you want to wear them once in a while, and they are usually used by people who are happy with their hair but just want a bit of embellishment for a night out or special occasions.

How long can hair extensions last?

Splicing extensions are great because they can be cut and styled in minutes and then easily removed. They may be the easiest to use, but they are the least persistent types of extensions available. They have discrete clips attached to the base in the weft that can simply be attached to your natural roots.

If you use your hair extensions regularly and take good care of them, they can last 3-12 months. If you only wear clip-on hair extensions for special occasions or events, they can last a long time as long as they're properly maintained.

How do you deal with hair extensions?

There is one thing to consider when it comes to care clip extensions. First, because they're not permanently attached to your head, you need to think about where to store them when you're not using them. Make sure they are hung or laid flat and protected. After 5 to 7 reps, depending on the frequency of use, we recommend washing with a natural sulphate free product and using a hair serum or oil to lock in moisture. Be careful not to brush them off when wet; You have to make sure your hair is dry and then brush it thoroughly with a extender brush, otherwise it can cause damage and even breakage, which means they wear out faster.

Semi-permanent hair

Semi-permanent hair extensions can include hair held in place with tape and usually last about 6-8 weeks before needing maintenance. It's smaller than the clip-on style and great if you want to wear longer, thicker hair every day.

How long will the hair extension tape last?

Hair-extension tape works as its name suggests, they're actually glued to the sides of your hair with adhesive weft tape. They are perfect for those looking for instant hair enrichment and lengthening solutions. They are a particularly popular choice because they do not require heating.

They can last from 4 to 8 weeks, depending on how often they are molded and cared for. This is a good choice for fast conversions because matching can be very fast.

How to care for adhesive tape when applying hair

When it comes to care hair extensions, remember never to brush or brush them while wet. The trick is to let your hair dry completely and then brush through with an extension brush. Not only will this keep them longer, but it will also allow them to stay in your hair more naturally.

Permanent hair

Permanent hair extensions come one by one, with many small attachments, such as microrings or microbonds. If you're disappointed with your great hair and want to increase the amount and length of your hair each day, permanent extensions are the best option.

How long will the ends/mini ends last?

2-3 month repair appointment

Also known as microbead and microloop extensions, these permanent extensions work by taking a small portion of natural hair and attaching the tiny tip of the hair to it. The microring method is particularly popular because it is a reusable method; This means you can redo the same hair many times. This method does not require heating or glue. They can make maintenance appointments anywhere for 2-4 months; Still, you should follow your stylist's advice and replace the rings according to your hair type and natural growth rate.

How to care for micro-ring/micro-ring extension?

You can treat these extensions just like natural hair, but, because they're attached to the roots, it pays to opt for natural products and treat them with extra care.

How long does flat pointed hair last?

3-4 month maintenance appointment

Flat hair extensions, sometimes called fusion hair extensions, are attached to the roots of the hair using a tool similar to a hot glue gun. This tool connects hair to your hair for a thicker, more complete look.

Depending on how you treat pre-glued extensions, each appointment can last three to four months. The way you wash your hair or how often you use a heating tool to create a new hairstyle can affect this. It's also important for you to think about the type of brush you use, as pre-bonded hair is attached to the roots of your hair -- a hair extension brush should help with maintenance.

How to care for pre-adhesive hair extensions

While your regular hair care routine and daily shampoo and conditioner should provide the care you need. You really need to change this type of hair every 3-4 months.

How long will it take to get hair extensions?

Regular maintenance for 8-12 weeks

For those who want thick hair, filling can be used to lengthen hair -- very quickly. There are many ways to install the filling yarn, from traditional weaving to the more modern ring method. A ring is attached to your hair, and the weft thread is sewn into your hair using the track of this ring.

Weave extensions are fairly permanent, lasting 6-8 weeks between appointments for maintenance.

How to Care for fabric

It's vital to moisturize with oil or serum every time you wash your hair to keep it healthy.

How to prolong the renewal life?

As long as you choose high quality natural hair extensions and follow the personal guidelines for each type of hair extensions above, you should have no problems taking care of your hair. Washing, drying, and hair extensions are very similar to your natural hair. However, you should consider not pulling your hair too hard when blow-drying, and we recommend that you avoid pulling the high ponytail below the connection. Another tip to watch out for is to avoid oils at the roots to prevent strands from slipping off, and to use a heat spray when setting with a hot iron. Be sure to ask your hairstylist if you have any questions, as they are the professional of your choice, so they should be able to provide care instructions or demonstrations.

When should hair extensions be removed?

Permanent hair extensions should not last more than 4 months. Be sure to go back to your salon and have them professionally removed to prevent damage to your natural hair.
