FAQ

HAIRDREAMS EXTENSIONS

What makes Hairdreams extensions different from other brands?

Hairdreams is known for its high-quality, ethically sourced human hair extensions, which are hand-selected for natural look and feel. The brand uses advanced bonding technologies that make extensions more comfortable, long-lasting, and customizable to blend seamlessly with natural hair. Hairdreams also offers options for different hair types, lengths, and styles, ensuring a perfect fit and natural finish.

How long do Hairdreams extensions last?

With proper care, Hairdreams extensions can last anywhere from 4 to 6 months, depending on the method used (e.g., bonding or tape-ins) and hair type. Hairdreams even offers some options that can be reused for up to 18 months with regular maintenance, making them a durable and cost-effective choice for long-term wearers.

How are Hairdreams extensions maintained, and what should I avoid?

Hairdreams extensions should be maintained with sulfate-free, extension-friendly shampoos and conditioners to keep them hydrated and prevent tangling. Avoiding excessive heat, chlorine, and saltwater is recommended to prolong their lifespan. It’s also essential to brush them regularly with a soft, extension-specific brush to avoid pulling at the bonds and to schedule maintenance appointments every 6-8 weeks to ensure the extensions stay in optimal condition.

Can I style my Hairdreams extensions like natural hair?

Yes, Hairdreams extensions are 100% human hair, so they can be styled with heat tools just like natural hair. However, it’s recommended to use a heat protectant and avoid excessive heat to keep the extensions looking healthy and smooth. Extensions can also be cut, coloured, or curled, allowing for versatility, though any colouring should be done professionally to avoid damage.

Are Hairdreams extensions safe for my natural hair?

When applied and removed by a certified professional, Hairdreams extensions are designed to be gentle on natural hair. Hairdreams uses patented bonding techniques that minimize strain and don’t damage the hair shaft, allowing natural hair to grow without breakage. Proper aftercare and regular maintenance are essential to keep both the extensions and natural hair in top condition.

GREAT LENGTHS EXTENSIONS

What sets Great Lengths extensions apart from other brands?

Great Lengths extensions are made from 100% ethically sourced human hair, offering a natural look and feel. The brand is known for its keratin bonding technology, which mimics the natural structure of hair, making the extensions comfortable, secure, and gentle on natural hair. Great Lengths extensions are available in various lengths, colours, and textures, allowing for seamless customization to match each client’s unique style.

How long do Great Lengths extensions last?

With proper care, Great Lengths extensions can last anywhere from 4 to 6 months. The longevity depends on factors like hair type, growth rate, and the maintenance routine followed. Regular maintenance appointments every 6-8 weeks are recommended to ensure the extensions remain in good condition, and with proper care, the extensions will maintain their appearance throughout their lifespan.

Are Great Lengths extensions safe for my natural hair?

Yes, when applied by a certified professional, Great Lengths extensions are designed to be safe for natural hair. The keratin bonds used are engineered to expand and contract with natural hair, minimizing any strain or breakage. To keep both the extensions and natural hair healthy, it’s essential to follow the recommended aftercare and avoid tugging or pulling on the extensions.

Can I colour, style, or heat-treat my Great Lengths extensions like natural hair?

Yes, Great Lengths extensions are 100% human hair, so they can be styled with heat tools and even coloured to a certain extent. However, it’s best to have any colour treatments done by a professional, as harsh chemicals can damage the extensions. Using heat protectant products and limiting heat styling will help maintain the extensions’ quality and prolong their lifespan.

How should I care for my Great Lengths extensions to make them last?

Use sulfate-free, extension-safe shampoos and conditioners to avoid weakening the bonds. Brush the extensions gently with a soft-bristled brush, starting from the ends and working up to avoid tension on the bonds. Avoid sleeping with wet hair to prevent tangling, and braid or tie hair loosely at night to maintain smoothness. Avoiding chlorine and saltwater exposure will also help keep the extensions looking vibrant.
