QUESTIONS ALL ABOUT MY HAIR EXTENSIONS!

What type of extensions did you get?

Micro bonded. A small bead is clamped on to the natural hair and then threaded through it using the loop attached to the hair extensions. Pliers are then used to clamp the hair extension ring to the natural hair. There is no heat or glue used so it is supposedly the last damaging method of hair extensions for your hair. 

I bought my hair from LushHairextensions.com and it was the 18" remy hair weft.

How long do they last and when do they need to be removed?

Depending on how well you look after them the extensions should last up to 3-5 months, but they do need to be tightened and re-lifted every 4-6 weeks. 

Do they hurt?

They shouldn't hurt at all when they are being put in they should just feel tight. However for a couple of days afterwards they will probably feel very tight and uncomfortable untill the hair starts to fall a little and settle into the natural hair. I would say by day 3 you shouldn't feel any pain or discomfort. 

Maintenance of the Hair Extensions. 

Use nourishing and natural shampoo's and conditioners like Moroccan oil and argon oil because they will give the extensions that essential moisture they need to keep them looking sleek and healthy. However do not put any shampoo or conditioner on the beads because they will make the hair slippy and the beads will fall out a lot easier. 

When shampooing wash the top of your scalp like normally in a slow and gentle motion as well as  being very gentle around the beads. Smooth the rest of the shampoo down the lengths of the hair rubbing very gently.

Rub conditioner on to your hands and smooth down the lengths of the hair keeping away from the beads. 

When the conditioner is all rinsed out use a wide tooth comb to de-tangle the hair before drying.

When drying your hair do not rub a towel vigorously around out as this will cause the hair to tangle and matt. Instead dab and squeeze the hair with a towel until the hair is damp. 

ALWAYS use heat protector before drying your hair as this will prevent the end of the hair from becoming damaged and split.

Never use hard bristle brushes on the hair as this will rip the beads out. Instead use a soft bristle brush or a tangle teaser.

You should brush your hair fully at least once a day, but make sure it is no more than 3 times a day as this can cause the hair shed.

DO NOT leave your hair extensions wet after washing without brushing them out because it will cause them to get extremely matted and tangled. 

Hair extensions are a lot of work but as long as you put in the effort to keep them maintained you should have lovely long silky hair and it should cause any damage to your natural hair.
