Choosing a technique

The most suitable technique is selected after assessing the density, texture, length and condition of your natural hair. Your desired volume, usual hairstyles, lifestyle and aftercare routine are also taken into account.

During the consultation, the stylist compares suitable options and explains how they differ in weight distribution, appearance and maintenance. There is no single extension method that is right for everyone.

Hair condition

In some cases, extensions can be applied to fine hair, but the decision depends on its current condition, density and ability to support additional weight.

The stylist must select an appropriate amount of hair, strand weight and attachment pattern. If the natural hair is significantly weakened or brittle, conditioning treatment or postponing the procedure may be recommended first.

Hair safety

Properly selected and professionally applied extensions should not place excessive strain on natural hair. Safety depends on the technique, the weight of the added hair, correct installation, home care and timely maintenance.

The risk of damage increases with overly heavy strands, matting, incorrect removal or wearing extensions beyond the recommended maintenance period. A professional assessment and appropriate aftercare are therefore essential.

Hair matching

Matching involves more than selecting one base colour. The stylist considers tone, undertone, colour depth, lighter or darker nuances, as well as the thickness, density and texture of your natural hair.

Several closely related shades may be combined for a more natural result. The extension hair should blend with your own hair not only in colour, but also in movement and visual density.

Hair length

Suitability depends not only on the overall length, but also on the haircut shape, density and the length of individual areas. There must be enough natural hair to conceal the attachments and create a smooth blend.

Very short or heavily layered hair may require additional growth or a carefully planned placement pattern. The stylist can confirm what is possible after an in-person assessment.

Maintenance

The maintenance interval depends on the extension technique, the growth rate of your natural hair, home care and the condition of the attachment areas.

As the hair grows, the attachments move further away from the roots and need to be removed and reapplied, or maintained according to the chosen method. Your stylist will recommend an individual schedule after the initial application.

Aftercare

Extensions should be brushed gently with a suitable brush, starting at the ends and gradually moving upwards. The attachment areas should be kept clean, dry and free from tangles.

Haircare products should be selected for both your natural hair and the extension hair. Masks, oils and rich conditioners are generally kept away from attachment points unless your stylist advises otherwise. Hair should be fully dry and loosely secured before sleeping.

Colouring and styling

Most extension hair can be curled, straightened and styled when the appropriate temperature and professional guidance are followed. Heated tools should not be applied directly to attachment points.

Colouring requires additional care because natural and extension hair may respond differently to colour products. Any colour change, particularly lightening, should be discussed with a professional in advance.

Consultation

During the consultation, the stylist assesses your natural hair and discusses the desired length, volume, shade and care routine. A suitable technique and preliminary strand placement plan are then recommended.

The stylist also explains the procedure, home care, future maintenance and how the price is calculated. The final plan depends on the condition and characteristics of your natural hair.

Pricing

The price depends on the selected technique, desired length and volume, the amount and characteristics of the extension hair, the complexity of shade matching and any preparation required.

An accurate estimate can be provided after the stylist has assessed your natural hair and planned the application. Before the appointment, you should receive a clear preliminary cost breakdown.

Removal

Extensions should be removed professionally using the method and products appropriate for the specific attachment technique. Attempting removal at home can cause tangling, breakage and mechanical damage to natural hair.

After removal, the stylist checks the condition of the hair and scalp, removes any remaining material and recommends suitable aftercare or reapplication.
