What's the difference between the types?

Hand Tied Wefts

Best for maximum customization. Sold by the weft, making them ideal for clients who want multiple shades blended together. This line offers the widest range of color options, but they are more delicate and contain return hair.

Intermix Wefts

A hybrid between a Hand Tied and Machine Weft, our Intermix Weft is our most universal option. They lay flat, can be cut at the base, and do not contain return hair. They do have a latex base, so they’re not recommended for clients with latex sensitivities, and extreme heat on the latex base can cause it to break down.

Tape-In Extensions

We love tape-ins for filling in sparse areas, especially around the hairline and face. They come in packs and individual sandwiches. 

Keratin Extensions

Our newest extension type. Ideal for full-head installs, frontals, or situations where tapes may be visible. They come in 25-gram packs, allowing for highly customizable installs.

Clip-In Extensions

Great for temporary wear and special occasions. Clip-ins are easy to install and remove, making them perfect for clients who want added length or fullness without a long-term commitment. We don't recommend for daily wear, as frequent use can cause damage on natural hair.

Can I color my extensions?

We do not recommend lightening or bleaching your extensions, as this can compromise the integrity of the hair.

You can tone or color your extensions. However, because extensions are textile dyed, they may absorb color differently than natural hair and can sometimes pull unexpected tones. We strongly recommend performing a test strand first to ensure you achieve your desired result.

Purple shampoo can be very drying and often over-tones extensions. If you need to use it, we suggest diluting it with regular shampoo or doing a purple bath: fill your sink with water and add a small drop of purple shampoo, then dip the extensions briefly. These methods dilute the product, making it less drying and reducing the risk of over-toning the extensions.
