Aftercare Advice to Maintain Your Extensions.
Looking after your hair extensions properly is key to keeping them looking great. Our stylists will guide you through how to brush, wash, and style your extensions to minimise tangling and maintain their silky finish. We’ll recommend salon-approved products that are free from sulphates and safe for use on extension bonds.
Regular maintenance appointments are also essential, especially for longer-term methods like micro rings and keratin bonds. These visits help us reposition, trim, and refresh your extensions to keep them looking seamless. With the right care and upkeep, your extensions can last several weeks or even months, making them a fantastic investment in your look and confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do hair extensions last?
The lifespan of hair extensions depends on the type you choose and how well they’re maintained. Tape-in extensions typically last 6–8 weeks before needing reapplication, while micro ring and keratin bond extensions can last up to 3 months with proper care. We recommend regular maintenance appointments to keep them looking fresh and secure.
Will hair extensions damage my natural hair?
When fitted and maintained correctly by professionals, hair extensions should not damage your natural hair. At ALTA Hairdressing, our stylists use gentle techniques and high-quality products to ensure your hair remains healthy. We’ll also provide aftercare advice to help you protect both your extensions and your natural hair.
Can I style my hair extensions with heat tools?
Yes, you can use heat tools such as straighteners, curlers, and hairdryers on your extensions, just as you would on natural hair. However, we recommend using a heat protection spray and keeping the heat away from the bonds or tapes to prolong the life of your extensions and avoid damage.
What type of hair is used for the extensions?
We use premium, ethically sourced human hair for all our extensions. This ensures a natural appearance, soft texture, and the ability to colour, wash, and style your extensions just like your own hair. The high quality also means they’re longer-lasting and more comfortable to wear.
How do I know which type of extensions are right for me?
During your consultation at ALTA Hairdressing, our stylists will assess your natural hair, listen to your goals, and recommend the best type of extensions for your lifestyle and desired look. Whether you want temporary volume or a more permanent transformation, we’ll help you find the perfect fit.
