FAQ
What are hand-tied hair extensions?
​
Hand-tied hair extensions are a type of hair extension method where individual wefts of hair are sewn by hand onto a thin, flexible weft. This method creates a natural, lightweight, and seamless look.
How are hand-tied extensions different from other types of hair extensions?
​
Hand-tied extensions are different from other types of extensions, such as tape-ins or clip-ins, because they are applied by sewing the wefts onto a row of beads that are attached to your natural hair. This creates a more natural and flexible result.
How long do hand-tied hair extensions last?
​
With proper care and maintenance, hand-tied hair extensions can last anywhere from 6 to 12 months. However, this can vary depending on your hair type, how fast your natural hair grows, and how well you care for your extensions.
Can I wash and style my hair with hand-tied extensions?
​
Yes, you can wash and style your hair just like you would with your natural hair. However, it's important to use sulfate-free and alcohol-free products to ensure the longevity of your extensions.
How often do I need to move up my hand-tied extensions?
​
Hand-tied extensions typically need to be moved up or reinstalled every 6 to 8 weeks as your natural hair grows. During a move-up appointment, the wefts are removed, the hair is repositioned, and the wefts are sewn back in closer to the scalp.
Can I exercise and swim with hand-tied extensions?
​
Yes, you can exercise and swim with hand-tied extensions, but it's important to tie your hair back or wear it in a braid to prevent tangling. After swimming, it's recommended to wash and condition your hair to remove any chlorine or saltwater.
Will hand-tied extensions damage my natural hair?
​
When installed and maintained properly, hand-tied extensions should not damage your natural hair. However, it's important to follow the care instructions provided by your stylist and to avoid using heavy products or pulling on your extensions.
How much do hand-tied extensions cost?
​
The cost of hand-tied extensions can vary depending on factors such as the length and thickness of the hair, the method of installation, and the expertise of the stylist. It's best to schedule a consultation to get an accurate price quote.
Are hand-tied extensions suitable for all hair types?
​
Hand-tied extensions can be a great option for most hair types, including fine and thin hair. However, it's best to book a consultation to determine if hand-tied extensions are the right choice for you and your hair type.
