Frequently Asked Questions
Hair extensions are renowned for transforming hair into the long, luxurious, and thick locks many dream of, but will they damage your natural hair?
The risk of damage from hair extensions largely hinges on the expertise of the individual applying them and the quality of the product used. Our founders, with over three decades in the hair extension industry, assert that when a skilled professional applies high-quality hair extensions, they will not damage natural hair.
Our method is gentle on your hair and is easily removed without sticky residue. Many hair products have harsh adhesives, which can cause damage during removal as the extensionist will have to pull or tug at the roots in order to remove them. Our extensions also have a larger attachment area compared to other methods, which places less stress on your hair.
Our specially developed Weft & tapes and adhesive, combined with Heaven Salons unique application technique, will ensure that your natural hair will grows optimally and remains healthy.
Of course, as with anything, there are always exceptions, which you will read online, but these exceptions are usually when a low-quality product is used and applied by someone without the proper training or experience.
Yes! Hair extensions should never limit you from experimenting with new hairstyles. Heaven Salons unique placement method combined with our specially developed tapes allows clients quickly switch from a low or high ponytail with zero visibility of the extension’s attachment points.
Traditional tapes have been used for many years. They’re less bulky in the head than tapes injected with hair but are easily visible when worn in different styles.
Invisible tapes have individual hairs ‘injected’ into the tape area to create the appearance of roots, giving the impression that the hair is growing from the side of the tape. Invisible tape extensions are particularly bulky and suitable for the hair’s top section.
We’ve developed a unique ‘hybrid’ tape that is 1/4 the standard height, enabling the hair extension to flow in the same direction as your natural hair. This allows clients to wear their hair in different styles with zero visibility of the attachment point whilst retaining the slimness of traditional tapes. Combining the advantages of traditional and root-mimic tapes while effectively eliminating their drawbacks.
Heaven Salons Unique application method is designed to blend the extensions with your natural hair perfectly across different hairstyles, making them very hard to notice. People won’t be able to see them unless they physically lift your hair to expose the tape attachment points.
Yes, the tape in method is suitable for holidays which are less than 8 weeks long. As long as you are caring for your hair properly and using the correct hair care products, tape-in extensions are a perfect choice for holiday hair.
*make sure to rinse your hair after swimming in sea or pool water, as both salt and chlorine can damage hair extensions (and your natural hair) when exposed for long periods of time*
We are highly experienced at applying tape in extensions. It will take anywhere from 1 hr to 2 hours to apply a full head of extensions. This includes preparation, cutting and styling times. You can book a complimentary consultation to speak with an expert for an exact time quote.
Around 6-8 weeks after your new extensions have been fitted, you will need to book a maintenance appointment. As your hair naturally grows, the Weft or tapes will move further away from the scalp and eventually become visible; during your appointment, the extensions will be removed, followed by a wash, cut and blow dry of your natural hair, the wefts ot tape are then re-applied closer to your scalp, and styled.
We use 4cm wide tapes with a specially developed medical-grade adhesive that is gentle on your natural hair, allowing it to grow while staying in position until you come to the salon for maintenance or removal. This adhesive allows us to remove the tapes quickly and easily without causing damage or leaving a sticky residue, which is unique to our product.
Caring for your hair should be one of the most important considerations in your decision to getting hair extensions. Take a look at these Top Tips designed to help you have long lasting hair extensions and reap the rewards of a truly fabulous mane!
- Brush, Brush, Brush
Brushing your hair extensions is as important as brushing your teeth each morning. Use a Heaven Salons soft bristle brush to detangle the hair without damaging it. Start at the bottom, as you would with your natural hair, detangling that area first before you move up to work on the top sections. For long lasting hair extensions, be gentle, as pulling can cause breakage.
- Wash Carefully
Firstly, make sure you detangle your hair before shampooing (use a Heaven Salons bristle brush!). Tilt your hair back in the shower instead of flipping your hair up and washing it over the sink or tub. Use a good salon professional shampoo that is sulphate free (we recommend sulphate free shampoo & conditioning products, such as Jadore Luxury Boost Shampoo range available from Heaven Salons Extensions). Take it slow! Wet your extensions bit by bit to prevent tangling using a downward motion when shampooing and rinse them thoroughly.
- Condition Like A Pro
Follow up with a nourishing leave-in conditioner such as the sulphate-free Jadore Intense Moisture Hydrating Mask range. Apply it on or work it in using the same downward motion and brush out any remaining tangles carefully. Don’t over-apply nourishing products as this may make your extensions dull and limp, causing them to get dirty at a much faster rate and tangle more easily.
- Let Them Dry Naturally
Excessive heat is detrimental to your natural hair and hair extensions. Regardless of whether you have extensions or not, you should allow time for your hair to dry naturally. Avoid sleeping with semi-wet hair which can cause tangles and odd creases.
- Blow Dry Carefully
Use a low-heat setting to dry your extensions and surrounding hair first then style/dry the rest of your hair as usual. Never ever use hot styling equipment that exceeds 200 degrees Celsius.
- Store With Care
Your clip-ins, wigs or quick weaves need to be stored with love when unused. Clean, condition, dry and detangle them first then place them in an air-tight container big enough to accommodate them perfectly – no squishing please!
- Tie Back
In case your luscious locks can’t be removed before sleep or intense physical activity, you can always sweep them back in a ponytail. If you’re about to hit the sack, make it a low pony to avoid tangles and creases. If you’re about the hit the gym or a running track, opt for a high pony to limit the exposure to sweat.
- If You’re A Swimmer
You may need to adopt a serious cap-wearing habit as chlorine and salt aren’t your hair’s best friends. We know that a swimming cap isn’t the hottest headwear, however in the long run, your extensions will last longer.
- Be Gentle With Your Hair
Harsh pulling, wringing or knotting your hair tightly is a no-go if you want long lasting hair extension. You can also damage your real hair, causing breakage and ruining your chances of having beautiful longish hair after the extensions are removed. Treat them well & keep up regular maintenance re-lifts to ensure your extensions are long lasting.
- Visit Your Stylist Regularly
Even the best quality extensions need upkeep. We recommend you check back with your stylist every 5 to 7 weeks for professional re fitting and styling
