How to deal with grown-out extensions
If you have extensions or are thinking about getting them, you should also know about "outgrown extensions." Tape extensions, bonding extensions, or microring extensions are applied as close to the scalp as possible. Since hair grows about one centimeter per month, the attachment points move downwards over time. Find out what you can do about it here.
In our shop, you will find dreamlike extensions in many colors as well as matching care products.

1. How far should extensions be allowed to grow out?
There is no fixed rule, but since outgrown extensions look unattractive and are no longer invisible, you should have them moved up regularly. Tape-in extensions usually need to be renewed every four to eight weeks. For the bonding and microring methods, moving them up is usually necessary after about 3 to 4 months (depending on hair growth).
2. Outgrown extensions – what now?
You don't have to throw your extensions away! High-quality human hair extensions can be reused without any problems. While tape extensions can often be removed yourself using a special remover, we recommend visiting a professional for bondings and microrings to protect your own hair.
3. Tips for outgrown extensions – how to hide them
If you don't have time to move them up right now, these tricks can help:
- Hairstyles: Use a messy bun or loosely braided hair. Avoid tight ponytails, as these tend to emphasize the attachment points.
- Accessories: Stylish hats, beanies, or wide headbands are perfect for concealing the roots while making a fashion statement.
4. Can outgrown extensions be delayed?
While growth cannot be avoided, you can optimize the durability through proper care:
- Brush correctly: Hold the attachment points firmly while brushing the ends to avoid tension.
- Washing routine: Do not wash your hair too often. Use dry shampoo for the days in between and only gently massage the shampoo in.
- Avoid heat: Never blow-dry too hot, especially with tapes, to prevent the adhesive from loosening.
- Ingredients: Avoid silicones, oils, and alcohol near the attachment points.
