1. What exactly is meant by hair extensions?
The term hair extensions refers to various methods used to lengthen or thicken your hair. In all procedures, human hair or synthetic hair extensions are integrated into your natural hair either permanently or temporarily. To ensure that hair extensions hold securely and fall naturally, your hair must have a certain minimum length.
2. How much do hair extensions cost?
The total cost of extensions depends on the quality and quantity of the hair as well as the time required for application. While hair thickening at a salon starts at around 200 euros, professional hair lengthening often ranges between 300 and 600 euros.
Savings Tip: You can buy high-quality extensions directly from hair2heart and have them applied by a hair stylist to save on salon material surcharges.
3. Which type of hair extension is the best?
The choice of method depends on your hair structure and your wearing habits:
Bonding Extensions
Ultra-thin human hair strands attached to your natural hair with keratin and heat. They offer the longest durability (up to 6 months).
Tape-in Extensions
Wider extensions applied using the sandwich method. They are particularly flat, affordable, and ideal for thickening fine hair.
Microring and Nanoring Extensions
These are attached using tiny metal rings without the need for glue or heat. Nanorings are almost invisible and ideal for updos.
Clip-in Extensions
The temporary solution for special occasions. They are simply clipped in and removed before sleeping – extremely gentle on the hair.
4. What should I definitely consider when buying?
Despite the cost, you should always value high quality. At hair2heart, you will find premium extensions made of Indian Remy hair. These possess an intact cuticle layer, which prevents the hair from matting and ensures long-lasting suppleness.
5. How long does a good hair extension last?
Durability varies depending on the method:
- Bonding Extensions: 3 to 6 months
- Tape-in Extensions: 4 to 8 weeks (then move up)
- Microring / Nanoring: 2 to 4 months
- Wefts (sewn): 6 to 8 weeks
- Clip-in Extensions: Removable daily
6. What is the minimum length required for my natural hair?
To ensure the connection points are securely covered and the extensions fall naturally, a natural hair length of at least 10 cm is recommended. With shorter hair, the connection points could become visible or the scalp could be overly strained.
7. Why buy hair extensions from hair2heart?
As a family-run company from Bavaria, quality is our top priority. We offer two quality levels:
Premium Quality: 100% Indian Remy hair with an intact cuticle layer. Blends perfectly with European hair and can be reused multiple times.
Standard Quality: 100% Southeast Asian human hair. An affordable alternative that has been chemically refined to match European hair structure.
Tip: Invest in premium extensions if you want to wear your hair permanently. With good care, these strands can be rebonded or re-taped several times, which saves costs in the long run.
Conclusion
With the right method and high-quality human hair, the dream of voluminous hair can be easily realized. Pay attention to quality and professional application to enjoy your new dream mane for a long time.
