The way your hair extension was attached, along with your commitment to your hair care, will determine how long your hair extension will last. Glue and tape extensions have an average life of 4 to 8 weeks. Sew-ins average 6 to 8 weeks. Micro-link extensions last the longest—up to 4 months. The longer-lasting hair extensions may require maintenance salon visits to reposition them.

What to Expect
The Hair Extension Process
Preparation
Your hair extensions in Mason City, IA, start by having a consultation with your Bare Sugar stylist. We’ll discuss your fashion goals and your hair care routine, plus we’ll look at your hair from all angles. Once your stylist has the “big picture” of your desires, your hair extension process begins.
Service
We’ll start by matching the hair extension color to your goals. The way we attach your hair extensions will be chosen by the best method to support the length and weight of the extension, plus how the extension will work to create the style you want (wavy, curly, straight, etc.). Once the extensions are in place, your stylist will finish the fashion for that ah-mazing look you’ve always wanted!
Aftercare
Your hair extensions will need to be brushed often, and they’ll need to be detangled before you go to bed and when you get up in the morning. You must support the attachment point as you brush and avoid pulling or tugging hard on the hair. You’ll also need to wash your hair twice (or more) per week to ensure your scalp stays healthy. Depending on the extension, you may be directed to work in a small amount of oil through the mids and/or the ends each night.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, your hair extensions won’t stop you from enjoying your active lifestyle. From aerobics to CrossFit, spinning class to swimming laps, your hair extensions can go along with you! We do recommend putting your hair into some kind of protective style or support so that your extensions remain tangle-free and out of contact with excessive sweat.
Also, you’ll want to avoid chemically treated water and salt water. These can break down the bonds that keep your extensions attached.
When done properly and cared for correctly, your hair extensions shouldn’t damage your real hair.
Damage can occur if:
- Your natural hair is very thin or particularly fragile.
- You leave the hair extensions in for too long, causing issues with new growth.
- Your hair extension is too heavy, causing breakage and scalp pain.
Your Bare Sugar Salon and Med Spa stylist will ensure that your hair extensions are just right for your hair quality and lifestyle.
