The short answer is no; hair extensions do not harm the hair in any way; the only disclaimer is that they may require special handling during application. Before getting extensions, it is essential to do your research and choose the right ones for you. Only then will you be completely safe.

Since it is 100% human hair, HairOriginals’ extensions are dyeable, like natural hair. We highly advise avoiding lightening the hair extensions’ color because the hair has already been dyed, and bleaching is a highly damaging chemical process. Your hair extensions may become less durable and more prone to tangling if you do this.

But still, if you want to colour your extensions, always use high-quality material, and it is always recommended to consult a hairstylist.

Remember that sleeping with your extensions on can shorten their lifespan and damage your scalp and natural hair. To keep your extensions in good condition, remove them before bed. Additionally, avoid sulfate- and alcohol-containing shampoos at all costs to maintain the extension’s health and hydration. Make sure you use the right conditioner for hair extensions.

The duration of your extension is dependent on several factors: 

Natural hair extensions, such as those sold by hairorignals, will outlast synthetic hair extensions in the long run.

A year is a reasonable expectation for the duration of a permanent extension, given proper maintenance and use. When not in use, hang them straight, use the correct product, and do not bleach them.
