Hair Extensions Before and After​

Human hair generally lasts 2-3 times longer than synthetic hair. Women need a lot of styling done to their hair. Hence, the hair used for most top-tier hair extensions is unprocessed Remy human hair from single donors. At New Times Hair, all our extensions are made of 100% Remy human hair, which never tangles or mats. Remy human hair for hair extensions, under proper care, can last up to two years.

However, the duration of a hair extension method does not imply the hair’s lifespan. With most hair extensions, as long as the hair is still usable and not chuckable, the wearers must go to the stylist for regular touch-ups or maintenance.

How long do fusion hair extensions last?
Fusion or pre-bonded hair extensions usually last for 3 to 4 months. That means the newly grown natural hair will spill out of the bonds every 3-4 months, and they must take them off and reattach again. However, with hot fusion, the technique of bond replacement could be more mature. Only a few hairstylists know how to change them. But hot fusion hair extensions create the most solid bonds that celebrities use.

How long do micro bead and micro loop hair extensions last?
Also called micro bead and micro loop hair extensions, these hair extensions are attached by sectioning natural hair into small sections, attaching tiny wefts of the natural hair to it. No heat or adhesive is involved in this method.

Microlink hair extensions last the wearer for 3-4 months, depending on how well they are looked after. As the beads are attached very close to the roots or the wearer’s natural hair, it is essential to treat them extra care and use natural products.

How do you take care of them? With micro loop hair extensions, treat them just like other fusion/pre-bonded hair extensions. They need to be repositioned every 2-3 months as natural hair growing out will move the beads away from the scalp.

How long do clip in hair extensions last?
Clip-in and halo hair extensions are both temporary hair extensions. Once attached, the wearer can remove them anytime they want. They can attach and remove them daily to give their natural hair a good rest.

The standard procedures of hair extension maintenance from above will enable them easily outlast its counterparts.

Pros
1: Hair extensions add instant volume and fullness to your hair. If your hair is usually oily and thin, you know you can’t use hair products to give it more volume that will last. Even the most vigorous backcombing will last only hours. That’s where hair extensions come in. They can help thicken fine hair and provide long-lasting volume.

2: Hair extensions outlast wigs or other hairpieces. That’s due a lot to the fact that most hair extensions, for heavy styling purposes, are made of 100% Remy human hair with intact cuticles. Even synthetic hair extensions, on average, last anywhere between 2 and 4 months. Hair extensions don’t have bases, simplifying their overall structure and attaching mechanism.

3: Extensions come in various shades and tones: Hair extensions come in multiple colors and shades. That’s something New Times Hair takes pride in. On average, each type of hair extension has more than ten colors available, from dark to bright, including mixed colors, such as ombre, piano, and so on. By having lowlights and highlights, it adds dimensions to the wearer’s hair, creating a gorgeous, effortless look.

Cons.
1: Hair extensions can be high maintenance. Most hair extensions need to be maintained regularly, especially permanent ones such as keratin bond, nanoring, weft, tape-in, and many other cold fusion hair extensions. That’s due to the grease and buildup, as well as our natural hair growing out of its bonds. Sometimes you must remain seated for 3-4 hours in the salon.

2.Hair extensions will damage the wearer’s natural hair if applied improperly, so a professional’s help is always necessary.

No, they won’t. The wearer’s natural hair has been damaged by the hair extensions, which has caused it to break and get shorter. This is what is meant by “preventing natural hair growth.” When you take care of your hair and take precautions before putting on hair extensions, they will never get in the way of your natural hair growth.

The cost of putting on hair extensions is not the same as the cost of hair extensions. It depends on how hard they are to put on and how long the person has to sit in the salon. With permanent hair extensions, wearers might have to take maintenance into consideration.

Fusion hair extensions: If you buy good Remy hair from a stylist, fusion hair extensions can cost anywhere from $90 to $200 at a store. $500 for installation at a hairstylist, $500 per maintenance revisit, and 3–4 care revisits per year. So the total cost is around $2,500 per year.

Tape in hair extensions: similar in quality to fusion hair extensions but with different bonding techniques. Tape-in hair extensions are the most popular because they are easy to put in and take care of. A set of tape-ins costs $200. $300 for installation at a salon and $120 for maintenance. Wearers require eight visits for care. That makes the total cost around $1,500 per year.

Sew-in or weave-in hair extensions: weft hair extensions are harder to make, especially hand-tied ones. A quality set of hair wefts costs, on average, $300. $150 for a qualified hairstylist to sew them onto the wearer’s hair. They also need around eight maintenance visits per year. The stylist must tidy the hair and resew the wefts back to the natural hair at each visit; $150 per visit. That brings the total cost to $1,600 per year.

Microlink/bead hair extensions: As a wearer, micro bead hair extensions may set you back between $200 and $600 (an average of $300), plus installation at the salon costs around $400. And ongoing maintenance is every six weeks at $150 per session. That brings the total cost to roughly $1,900–$2,000 per year.

Clip-in hair extensions: Clip-in hair extensions are temporary hair extensions. As a wearer, you can put it on and remove it daily. So the hair requires little maintenance aside from an initial styling at the salon or $300-$400 to repair damage caused by its clips. The hair itself costs $200. So the total cost is around $600 per year.

Halo hair extensions: The average retail price for halo hair extensions is between $200 and $500 for a top-quality, 100% Remy halo. Halo hair extensions are well worth their price because they require little maintenance and are simple to wear and style. The initial price of $300 plus $75 for a haircut at a dresser brings the total cost to $350-$400.
