Thinking of getting a new set of hair extensions but don’t know which ones to choose? If you want to know what hair extensions last the longest and which are going to make your money worthwhile, then take a look at our guide below.
What hair extensions last the longest?
First things first, Remy human hair lasts much longer than synthetic hair extensions. That’s because they bear more of a resemblance to natural hair. They also haven’t been coated with silicone (this is the stuff that keeps them looking soft and shiny), which eventually wears off on synthetic hair extensions. However, you can purchase this silicone coating for hair extensions at Dirty Looks, which keeps Remy hair extensions soft and makes them last longer, too.
Weave Hair Extensions
Whilst weave hair extensions take the longest to apply (we’re talking four hours in the hair stylist’s chair), these hair extensions don’t last the longest. In fact, they only last up to eight weeks and have to be removed by a professional hair stylist. This excludes taking into account the time it takes to apply the extensions and not to mention the damage they can do to your hair- is it really worth it?
Pre-Bonded Hair Extensions
Compared to other methods of hair extensions, pre-bonded hair extensions last the longest. Once applied, these hair extensions can be expected to last three to six months, if taken care of properly, however, they will need to be removed by your hair stylist.
Micro-link Hair Extensions
You can expect to see micro-link hair extensions last between two to four months. Again, these should be removed and applied by professional hair stylists to avoid causing any damage to your hair.
Tape Hair Extensions
Although the application of tape hair extensions isn’t as time consuming as pre-bonded hair extensions, it’s certain that these hair extensions don’t last the longest. If taken care of and treated with the right hair care products, you can expect them to last up two months or even less, as they become matted and tangled quite easily if not brushed properly.
Clip In Hair Extensions
After researching what hair extensions last the longest, it’s safe to say that clip in hair extensions are the ones that stand the test of time. Providing that you look after your hair extensions properly, clip in hair extensions should last from six to 12 months. The clip in hair extensions at Dirty Looks are all made from Remy human hair, which again, are the hair extensions that last the longest. They also can be clipped in and removed at your perusal and whenever you feel like rocking longer locks or require that extra volume.
