Hair Extensions

Hair extensions will not damage your hair. However, hair with hair extensions requires more care than usual. We recommend daily care, along with a little extra care on a weekly basis. We also recommend that you thoroughly inspect your attachments every five to seven weeks, both in order to enable you to enjoy your long hair as long as possible, but also to avoid tangled attachments and unnecessary wear on both the extensions and your natural hair. We also recommend that you use Rapunzel's care products that are specially formulated for hair with extensions. They are designed to be gentle to both your extensions and your natural hair. The products contain a large amount of moisture and nutrition, which hair extensions are particularly in need of, and especially if you live in a dry climate like that in Scandinavia. It is also important that you attach and remove your hair extensions properly. By following our instructions and using the recommended attachment and removal products, you minimize the risk of unnecessary wear on your hair.

Choosing the right method might sometimes seem difficult, but it doesn’t have to be. Before you attach your hair extensions, however, it may be a good idea to think about what your everyday life looks and what the purpose of your hair extensions is. At Rapunzel we offer a number of methods so you can choose the one that suits you best in your everyday life. Do you want a going-out look, something different for a few weeks' time, or maybe something permanent? Do you exercise a lot, do you wear scarves or hats? Depending on the look of your natural hair, we also recommend different methods and hair qualities. Do you have thin hair, fine hair, coarse hair, thick hair? Yes, the list can be long, but keep in mind that the most important thing is not to answer all the questions, the important thing is that you feel comfortable with your hair extensions, and by considering the choice of method and quality, you can find the right method for you.

Depending on the hair quality you choose, the durability of your hair extensions. How long your hair extensions last will also depend on the type of attachment and method you used. Permanent extensions can last up to three months, and semi-permanent between 6 and 8 weeks. With the On & Off method, their longevity depends greatly on how much they are used. Read more here about how long your extensions will last. Your extensions and their attachment will last longer if you give a little TLC. Following the care instructions for your product is a good idea. One great ritual is to try running your fingers through your hair once in the morning and once at night. When you go to bed, we recommend braiding your hair to make sure it stays tangle-free. You should also do this when you exercise and when you think your hair may be affected by the weather. We also recommend that you check your permanent extensions within 5-7 weeks of putting them in. By doing this you can avoid the risk of too much outgrowth, which can cause the extension to damage your hair. Detangling your hair with your fingers or recommended brushes on a regular basis also reduces the risk of knots in your hair and attachments. The soft bristles of our recommended brushes are gentle and nourishing on your hair and extensions. Chlorine and saltwater will always damage your hair, so we recommend using a swim cap when your hair may be exposed to these substances. Another tip is to braid your hair or put it up in a high bun to avoid contact with the water.

In order to make make sure your extensions transition nicely from your normal hair, we recommend that you have at least ten centimeters of natural hair. If you already have long hair, don't despair. Hair extensions will give your hair new life. If you're not looking for length, you may want thickness or maybe color. Attaching colored streaks for awhile can also liven up your hair. 10 cm of hair is all that is needed to get a nice transition between your natural hair and your extensions
