How long do hair extensions last?
With proper care, high-quality human hair extensions can last six months to a year. Longevity depends on how often they are worn, how they are maintained, and the products used for care.
Can I wash my hair extensions?
Yes. Hair extensions should be washed with a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to maintain softness and prevent dryness.
Can hair extensions be styled with heat tools?
Because Little Vixen Hair extensions are made from human hair, they can be curled, straightened, and styled just like natural hair. Always use a heat protectant when styling.
How do I choose the right color?
The best way to choose a color is by matching the mid-lengths and ends of your natural hair, rather than the roots. Our color guide page can help you find the best match.
Will hair extensions damage my natural hair?
When installed and maintained properly, hair extensions should not damage your natural hair. Following proper care routines and maintenance appointments will help keep your hair healthy.
How do I keep my extensions from tangling?
Brushing regularly with an extension-friendly brush, sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase, and keeping the hair moisturized will help prevent tangling.
Can I sleep with my hair extensions in?
Yes. It’s best to brush your hair before bed and loosely braid it or place it in a low ponytail to prevent tangling overnight.
What are Remy hair extensions?
Remy hair extensions are made from human hair that has been collected with the cuticle layers intact and aligned in the same direction. This helps the hair stay smoother, softer, and less prone to tangling compared to lower-quality hair.
How many hair extensions do I need for a full head?
The number of extensions needed depends on your natural hair thickness and the look you want to achieve. Most full installations use enough 2-4 packages of extensions to create balanced volume and length while blending naturally with your hair.
Are human hair extensions better than synthetic?
Human hair extensions generally look more natural and can be styled with heat tools just like your own hair. They also tend to last longer with proper care.
How often should hair extensions be washed?
Hair extensions usually do not need to be washed as frequently as natural hair. Washing them once every week or two, depending on product buildup and styling, helps maintain softness and manageability.
Can I swim with hair extensions?
Hair extensions can be worn while swimming, but chlorine and salt water may cause dryness or tangling. It’s recommended to rinse the hair afterward and apply a moisturizing conditioner.
Can I dye or tone hair extensions?
Human hair extensions can sometimes be toned or darkened, but lightening the hair is not recommended. For best results, always consult a professional stylist before coloring extensions.
How do I prevent hair extensions from drying out?
Keeping extensions hydrated with a lightweight conditioner or hair oil, limiting heat styling, and brushing regularly will help maintain softness and prevent dryness.
