VIRGIN RUSSIAN HAIR EXTENSIONS

What Does Virgin Hair Mean?

The true meaning of virgin hair is that, during its lifetime, the hair has never been coloured, chemically treated, or processed in any way. Factory hair, often marketed as “human hair” or “remy hair,” is heavily processed and bleached. During this process, the cuticle direction is lost, and an acid is added to dissolve the cuticle. The hair is then coated in silicone, making it appear glossy and silky.

However, within two to three washes, the silicone disintegrates, leaving the hair feeling dry, frizzy, and coarse, which results in matting. Factory hair will never last long, unlike virgin Russian hair, which can last for years.

What Does Double Drawn Mean?

Double-drawn hair is by far the best, as the ends of the hair are almost 100% as thick as the roots. This is the most sought-after type of hair. This method enhances the quality of the hair extensions, giving you a fuller appearance by using only the healthiest strands from the hair bundle. Naturally, you will pay more for double-drawn hair extensions, but the superior quality and quantity ensure they last much longer.

This approach also means there is no need to overfill your natural hair with too many extension pieces, helping to maintain the integrity of your natural hair.

How Long Do Hair Extensions Last?

Premium Russian hair is quite the investment, but it is one that’s well worth it. These high-end extensions are lightweight and silky, blending seamlessly with your natural hair.

Unlike lesser-quality factory hair, our Russian virgin hair extensions can last a minimum of 12 to 36 months, provided you care for them with proper aftercare and maintenance.

KERATIN BOND HAIR EXTENSIONS

What are keratin bond hair extensions?

Keratin bond hair extensions are individual strands of hair that are attached to your natural hair using a small amount of keratin adhesive. This method involves fusing the extension to your natural hair using heat, creating a seamless and durable bond.

How long do keratin bond hair extensions last?

With proper care, keratin bond hair extensions can last 3–6 months before they need to be moved up or replaced, depending on your natural hair growth and maintenance routine.

Are keratin bond hair extensions safe for my natural hair?

Yes, when applied correctly by a professional, keratin bond hair extensions are safe and do not damage your natural hair. They use a keratin-based adhesive, which is similar to the natural protein in your hair, allowing for a gentle, long-lasting bond.

How do I maintain keratin bond hair extensions?

To maintain keratin bond extensions, it’s important to:

  • Avoid heavy oils or silicone-based products near the bonds.

  • Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners.

  • Keep the bonds dry and free from excessive heat styling.

  • Brush your hair gently with a looped-tip brush to prevent tangling and ensure the bonds remain intact.

  • Schedule regular maintenance appointments every 6-8 weeks to ensure the extensions are properly adjusted as your natural hair grows.

Can I wash my hair with keratin bond extensions?

Yes, you can wash your hair with keratin bond extensions. Just be sure to avoid the bonds directly when applying shampoo or conditioner, and don’t rub or pull on the bonds. Let your hair air dry or use a blow dryer with a cool setting to avoid loosening the bonds.

Can I style my hair with keratin bond extensions?

Absolutely! You can curl, straighten, and style your hair as usual with keratin bond extensions. Just be sure to avoid applying heat directly to the bonds themselves, and always use heat protection products for the best results.

How long does the installation process take?

The installation of keratin bond extensions typically takes 2–4 hours, depending on the number of extensions being applied and the complexity of your desired style.

Will keratin bond extensions damage my natural hair?

When applied and removed properly by a professional, keratin bond extensions should not damage your natural hair. It’s important to follow aftercare instructions and not to tug or pull on the extensions, which could cause breakage.

How much do keratin bond hair extensions cost?

The cost of keratin bond extensions varies depending on factors such as the quality of the hair, the number of extensions needed, and the salon’s pricing structure. A consultation is recommended to determine your specific needs and get an accurate price estimate.
