Texture and colour are vital considerations when choosing hair extensions. Smooth texture and expertly matched colour will really enhance the finished look and will make them last much longer. They’ll also be so much easier to look after in the long run.

We use only the best hair on the market, and we never use anything that we wouldn’t be happy to have in our own hair. We avoid using hair that has a build up of silicon layers, as this masks the hair’s true texture. I learned while working in a top-class hair studio that many extensions on the market are acid-stripped and coloured using fabric dye. This means that when the silicon washes off, you’re left with dry, brittle, and very ratty hair, after only around one month of wear.

Most of the hair we use is virgin hair, right up until the point of consultation, where the hair is colour matched to suit your needs.

The origin of the hair is a huge factor to consider when colouring the hair. While it is possible to get Indian hair taken to a light blonde, the chances are that the hair won’t retain its quality for long due to over processing. In this case, you’d be better off investing in Russian or Slavic hair. It’s more expensive, but it’s also more likely to stay in great condition for longer, and a wider variety of blonde shades can be achieved.

If you have dark hair, we usually use virgin colours, and because there is not so much need to lighten or chemically process the hair, you can get around 2 years of wear from the extensions if they are properly cared for.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The types of hair we use  

Indian Temple hair: This is great for a fuller look and for ladies with thicker hair. The hair has a slight natural wave and so it’s perfect if you have more textured hair. It can last between 3 and 12 months with proper care and maintenance. Our Gold Fever hair is ethically sourced from Indian temples where hair is donated for worship.  

 

Russian & Slavic hair: These make the creme de la creme of hair extensions. They’re not cheap but they can last for several years if cared for correctly. They’re perfect for ladies with fine, blonde hair.

 

Southern Russian & Mongolian mixed Hair: This hair is a popular choice for many women as the hair is strong and durable. It has the softness of European hair, but it has thicker and stronger strands. It’s not as full as Indian hair. This hair has a lifespan of between 6-12 months although some people can get 18 months of wear depending on aftercare.

 

All of our hair is cuticle correct which means that the direction of the cuticles will blend freely with your own hair without causing matting. There are no acid baths which strip the natural cuticles off the hair shaft, so your hair will stay in beautiful condition for longer.

All extensions must be cared for using our recommended line of products. If these are not purchased at the time of fitting, we will accept no responsibility for the quality of your hair.
