➰ How do Hand-Tied Beaded Extensions Work? ➰

Want extensions that last for longer than a day or two (aka clip-in extensions), are easy maintenance and blend in seamlessly to your natural hair?  You want hand-tied beaded weft extensions.

• NO: heat, glue or chemicals (that can damage hair and the follicle) in the installation process
• Popular: The most common type of hair extensions
• Strong: beaded bonds are in it to win it
• Custom: Can be easily cut to custom fit your head/hair goals
• Healthy: Minimal shedding of beaded weft-extension hair during wear
• All Hair Types: Can be applied to any type of hair
• Washing/Styling: Use any type of hair products/treatments – no need for specialty, expensive products

➰ How Long do Extensions Last? ➰

If you’re going to go big (aka, big hair)… you are obvi curious how long beaded wefts last and what the maintenance is – right?

• Scheduling: Make an appointment with your specialist every 6-8 weeks (depending on how rough or gentle you are with hair )
• Appointment Time: Beaded weft tightening sessions typically take between 20 – 30 minutes.
• Hair Life: Hair extensions can be used/re-used for 4-6 applications (meaning you only need to purchase new hair ~twice/year)

➰ Can Any Stylist Apply Extensions? ➰

Eager to book with a stylist? First things first.

• A Must: Make sure the stylist is a hair extension specialist
• Do your Homework: Check on what training the stylist has received to qualify as a “specialist”
  • Depending on what type of extensions you seek, your stylist will have a certification or have received professional training to apply those extensions.
• Watch out: No Training? If your stylist has had zero training/certifications, your hair will become incredibly damaged (meaning, big chunks of your hair falling out!) because of an inexperienced application.
