Hair Extension FAQ
Which fitting method is best?
This depends on the look you want to achieve and how permanent you want that look to be. For a quick and effective solution, clip-ins are great. If you want a longer lasting look, bonded applications or wefts are a popular option. For more personal advice you can email us at info@strandedhairgroup.com or call us on 0161 834 2173.
How long should my extensions last?
This depends on the type of hair you purchase and how well you look after your hair extensions. With the correct aftercare and regular maintenance (for professionally applied extensions), the lifespan of your new extensions will be increased.
What lengths of hair extensions do you offer?
We have hair extensions ranging from 12 inches to 20 inches.
What is the difference between the types of hair you have available?
We have 2 different types of hair available; Human hair, and Heat Resistant hair.
Human Hair - Human hair extensions are created using only 100% human hair fibres, and can be treated and styled like your own natural hair. Human hair is the most popular choice as it is a high quality product which creates a natural and seamless look when colour matched correctly.
Heat Resistant Hair - Our Heat Resistant hair is made from heat resistant synthetic fibres and is our most affordable option. The versatility of heat resistant hair makes it a great option if you’re new to extensions and are wanting to try them out before investing in human hair.
Can I use heat on my hair extensions?
Yes, all Stranded Hair Extensions are safe to use heat on. Our Heat Resistant hair is heat resistant up to 180 degrees, and our Human Hair extensions can be heated up to 230 degrees. Although it is safe to heat the hair to these high temperatures, we always recommend a heat protection spray is applied first to help protect the quality of the hair.
Can Stranded Human Hair Extensions be coloured?
Yes, our Human extensions can be coloured. However, it is important that we state that once the hair has been coloured or treated by you or your hairdresser, we do not offer any warranty or guarantee over the hair or its quality. We will not accept any returns for hair which has been coloured, toned or has been treated with silver or purple toning shampoo.
Can Stranded Synthetic Hair Extensions be coloured?
Our Synthetic Hair Extensions cannot be coloured, the fibre will not absorb hair colour. However, we have a wide range of natural-looking shades, please send a clear photo of your hair if you'd like advice on finding your perfect colour match.
Do you have instructions on how to attach your hair extensions and hair pieces?
Yes, we’ve shared several ‘How To’ posts on our Stranded Blog to help you learn how to attach the different types of hair extensions and pieces we have available. If you can’t find what you need, you can contact us and a member of our team will be happy to help you.
Will hair extensions damage my hair?
Clip in hair extensions are the safest and least damaging type of extensions you can use. As they’re attached temporarily, there isn’t permanent pulling or stress on your natural hair. The clips we use are a safe and secure way to attach your extensions. As long as you do not sleep, swim or shower in your clip in hair extensions, or keep them attached for excessively long periods of time, there is no reason that they would cause any damage.
How should I care for my extensions?
We have a fantastic range of products all designed specifically to keep your extensions in their best condition and to prolong their lifespan. You can find our full range of aftercare products here.
How do I wash and dry my extensions?
Unlike your natural hair, extensions do not need to be washed very often. This is because your extensions aren’t receiving natural oils from your scalp like your own hair does. Once you feel that they need washing, begin by brushing your extensions to remove any knots or tangles. Then, fill your sink with warm water and thoroughly wet the extensions. You can then wash them with shampoo, just as you would your own hair, and rinse. Once all of the shampoo has been rinsed out, apply a generous amount of conditioner and work well through the hair, then rinse. To dry your extensions, begin by gently patting them dry with a towel, never rub them. Brush them through, using a smoothing or conditioning product if necessary, and either allow to dry naturally or use your hair dryer. If using a hair dryer, always make sure you apply heat protection to your extensions first to maintain their quality. Once they’re dry, your extensions will look great again!
Can I sleep in my hair extensions?
No, it is not safe to sleep in your clip in hair extensions. Whilst sleeping, the movement of your head against your pillow causes the clips to pull at your natural hair, and this can cause damage and breakage. The benefit of clip in extensions is that they are quick and simple to attach and remove, so always un-clip them and store them away at night.
