How long do hair extensions last before I have to replace them?

If you’re new to hair extensions, then you might have this specific question. Aside from the question about their cost, “how long do hair extensions last” is probably the second most popular question we get. Here are some guidelines about lifespan for the different types of hair extensions we offer at Glo. With proper care, you’ll get the most life out of your extensions before you have to purchase new hair.

Hand Tied Weft Extensions will last 7 to 12 months

If you take good care of your wefts and keep up with the recommended in-salon maintenance appointments, they can literally last up to a year before they have to be replaced with a new set.

Keratin Bonded/Fusion Hair Extensions will last 3 to 6 months

Fusion strands of hair extensions are applied to the root of the hair shaft with low heat and a keratinized protein bond. The better you treat them, the longer the hair and the bonds will last. This includes careful brushing, not overdoing heat application with a flat iron or curling rod, and only washing them 2-3 times per week for the best results.

Clip-In Hair Extensions are temporary and reusable.

Clip-in extensions are designed for temporary wear. Each panel of hair is attached to a little weft clip. You can attach each clip to the base of your hairline in just minutes. You take them out at before bathing or sleeping. This will help keep your clip-in extensions tangle free for the most longevity. With proper care, they can last for years depending on how often you wear them.
