  • Additional Questions

    K-Tips / Keratin Bonded Extensions

    1. How are K-Tips applied?
    K-Tips are attached to small sections of your natural hair using keratin bonds that are fused with a heat tool. This method creates a secure, long-lasting bond that blends seamlessly with your hair.

    2. Can K-Tips be reused after removal?
    Yes, K-Tips can be reused if removed carefully and the keratin bonds are intact. Proper storage and handling are essential for reuse.

    3. How long do K-Tips typically last once installed?
    With proper care, K-Tips can last 6–9 months before needing repositioning or removal.

    4. Can I swim or exercise with K-Tips in?
    Yes, K-Tips are water-resistant; however, prolonged exposure to chlorine, salt water, or sweat may require extra conditioning and protection.

    5. How do I safely remove K-Tips at home?
    Use a professional-grade bond remover to avoid damaging your natural hair. If unsure, it’s best to have a professional stylist remove them.

    6. Can K-Tips be installed on thin or fine hair?
    Yes, but careful sectioning and installation by a professional are crucial to avoid excess tension and protect your natural hair.

    Wefts / Machine-Tied Extensions

    1. What is the difference between wefts and other types of extensions?
    Wefts are strips of hair sewn or glued together at the top. Unlike tape-ins or K-Tips, they provide volume and length in larger sections.

    2. Can wefts be sewn in for a temporary or semi-permanent style?
    Yes, wefts can be sewn in with or without a cornrow base, depending on how long you want the style to last.

    3. How many wefts do I need for a full head?
    Most clients need 2–4 wefts depending on hair length, thickness, and desired volume.

    4. Are wefts safe for natural hair if sewn in tightly?
    Yes, if installed correctly by a professional. Over-tight sewing can cause tension and breakage.

    5. How do I wash wefts without loosening the thread?
    Gently wash with a sulfate-free shampoo, focusing on the hair rather than the sewn base. Always pat dry instead of rubbing.

    6. Can wefts be cut or trimmed after installation?
    Yes, wefts can be trimmed to customize length or create layers. Always use sharp, clean scissors to prevent fraying.

    Quick weave / Bonded Sew-Ins

    1. What makes a Quick weave different from traditional sew-ins?
    Quickweave uses adhesive or bonding glue instead of braids to attach the hair, allowing for a faster, semi-permanent installation.

    2. Can I apply Quickweave over relaxed or natural hair?
    Yes, Quickweave works on all hair types as long as the hair is healthy and properly prepared.

    3. How long does a Quickweave typically last?
    Quickweaves usually last 2–6 weeks depending on hair growth and care.

    4. Can I reuse Quickweave hair after removal?
    Yes, if the hair is properly cleaned and conditioned after removal, it can be reused.

    5. Does Quickweave damage natural hair?
    When applied and removed correctly, Quickweave should not damage hair. Avoid leaving adhesive in too long and always use professional removal techniques.

    6. How do I style Quickweave without loosening the bonds?
    Use low heat, minimal product near the bonds, and avoid heavy oils or styling gels directly on the adhesive.

    Tape-In Extensions

    1. How thin should my natural hair be for tape-ins to blend seamlessly?
    Tape-ins work best on hair that is at least 1/4 inch thick. Thinner hair may require smaller tape pieces or additional blending techniques.

    2. Can tape-ins be cut or trimmed after installation?
    Yes, tape-ins can be trimmed or layered to blend with your natural hair. Always trim after installation to avoid weakening the bond.

    3. How do I prevent tape-ins from slipping?
    Avoid oil-based products near the tape and always ensure hair is dry and clean before installation.

    4. Can I wear my hair in a high ponytail with tape-ins?
    Yes, tape-ins can be styled in ponytails, buns, or braids as long as the hair is secured gently without tugging at the bonds.

    5. How do I remove tape-ins safely at home?
    Use a professional-grade tape remover to dissolve the adhesive. Pulling or tugging can damage your hair.

    6. Are there special shampoos or conditioners recommended for tape-ins?
    Yes, sulfate-free and lightweight products such as Olaplex No.4 and No.5 are ideal to maintain bond strength and hair health.

    Sew-In / Weave Extensions

    1. Can sew-ins be installed on short natural hair?
    Yes, but the natural hair should be long enough to braid and secure the tracks (usually 3–4 inches minimum).

    2. How do I prevent tension or scalp discomfort with sew-ins?
    Ensure the tracks are not sewn too tightly. Regular maintenance and professional installation are key.

    3. How often should I take down a sew-in to protect my natural hair?
    Sew-ins should be removed every 6–8 weeks to allow your natural hair to rest and prevent breakage.

    4. Can I swim or shower with a sew-in?
    Yes, but avoid excessive exposure to chlorine and saltwater. Always braid or tie your hair and use a protective cap when swimming.

    5. Can I curl or straighten sew-ins with heat?
    Yes, you can use heat styling tools, but always apply a heat protectant and avoid high temperatures to maintain hair integrity.

    6. How do I maintain my sew-in while sleeping?
    Tie hair in a loose braid or ponytail and use a satin or silk bonnet/pillowcase to reduce friction and frizzes here
