Will Hair Extensions damage my existing Hair? No. Connect Hair Extensions, when applied and removed by an experienced stylist will cause no damage to your own hair. There has been a lot of negative press regarding the use of Hair Extensions, this has been caused by people applying Extensions that have not been properly trained to a high standard, using low quality products and buying D.I.Y kits and starting a business! Always check that your stylist has been trained by the company whose system they are using. Badly fitted Extensions can of course cause damage to your own hair. Ask for contact details of one of their clients who can verify that they have had extensions fitted by them and ask to see before and after pictures of their own clients. I always use pictures of my own clients, many stylists and salons use pictures downloaded from the web, or just have a look at the work they are showing on their website, they are greatly inferior in both application skill and quality of the hair grades that I offer. Please feel free to contact Connect Hair System about my credentials, they know me very well and have seen much of my Hair Extension work, they can be contacted on 0207 483 3845.   How long do they last? Hair extensions last for three to four months. Due to the normal growth rate of natural hair, your extensions should be replaced at the 12 - 16 week period. Allow four to five hours for a short to long makeover, Virgin European hair takes five to six hours, depending on the length of the existing style. Beware salons offering 1-2 hours for a short to long extensions service, they are using hair on a weft, which does not move and behave like extensions when applied using a system as refined as Connect Hair System. Do I need special shampoo and conditioner to care for my Hair Extensions? No. Many salons will tell you that you do. I have 18 years experience in using Human Hair Extensions. If you are having any one of the three best grades of hair fitted (the only three, I offer), you may use whichever brand you choose. Can I use heated appliances? You may blow-dry, use Ghd's and heated rollers or tongs, taking care not to re-heat the bonds, as this may result in fracture of the bond and your extensions will fray and thin out. My hair is dry from over-styling. Can I still have Hair Extensions? This is a common problem. If you straighten your hair on a regular basis, it will dry it out. Hair Extensions can actually help to protect your own hair from this, as once they are fitted 100% of clients do not find that need to over-style their own hair due to the fact that they now have the length and volume they wanted. In addition you will be styling the Hair Extensions, thus saving the condition of your existing locks. How much do you charge to remove the Hair Extensions when the time is up? If you are having your Hair Extensions re-done, there is NO CHARGE for removal. Otherwise, the fee for removal is just £30. Most salons are charging £75 -£100 for removal even when your are having them re-done! I do not want too much volume, can I have half a head of Extensions? Providing that your own hair is fine and you do not want to add lots of length, a half-head or three-quarter head may be all that you need. You will be given your options during a free consultation.
