Question 1

Q1: How long do weft hair extensions typically last?

Accepted Answer

A: With proper care, high-quality human hair wefts can last 4 to 6 months. However, to maintain the health of your natural hair, we recommend removing and reinstalling new hair every 3 months, as the wefts themselves may begin to shed or thin with extended wear.

Question 2

Q2: Can I color or bleach my weft hair extensions?

Accepted Answer

A: Yes, if you are wearing 100% human hair. However, since the hair is no longer receiving nutrients from a scalp, it is more porous and prone to dryness. We recommend consulting a professional colorist and performing a strand test first. Always use demi-permanent or gentle formulas and deep condition immediately afterward.

Question 3

Q3: Why does my weft hair feel sticky or look dull?

Accepted Answer

A: This is typically caused by product buildup. Heavy silicones, oils, and waxes coat the hair shaft and attract dust and lint. To fix this, wash with a clarifying shampoo (sulfate-free but deep cleansing) and avoid heavy butters near the root area.

Question 4

Q4: Can I swim with weft extensions?

Accepted Answer

A: Yes, but you must take precautions. Before swimming:
Braid or tie the hair up.
Apply a leave-in conditioner to create a barrier.
Rinse immediately with fresh water after swimming.
Shampoo and deep condition as soon as possible to remove chlorine or salt residue.

Question 5

Q5: My extensions are tangling at the nape of my neck. What am I doing wrong?

Accepted Answer

A: Tangling at the nape is usually caused by friction from clothing, scarves, or sleeping. Ensure you are brushing the nape area thoroughly (including underneath) and tying hair up at night. If tangling persists, you may need a professional adjustment to check for loose wefts.

Question 6

Q6: Is it normal to shed a little bit from the weft?

Accepted Answer

A: Yes, minimal shedding is normal. The weft is sewn by hand or machine, and a few loose hairs may release over time. However, excessive shedding (clumps or thinning wefts) indicates poor-quality hair or damage from heat/over-washing.

Question 7

Q7: Can I use a regular brush instead of a loop brush?

Accepted Answer

A: We strongly advise against it. Regular brushes with small, closely packed bristles put extreme tension on the bonds and wefts, causing slippage and breakage. Always use a loop brush or a brush specifically designed for extensions.

Question 8

Q8: My wefts feel loose—can I glue them back myself?

Accepted Answer

A: No. Never attempt to re-adhere wefts with at-home glue or tape. These products are not designed for prolonged wear and can matte your natural hair, leading to severe breakage. Visit your stylist for a reposition or tighten appointment immediately to prevent further stress on the attachment points.
