GENERAL QUESTIONS

What are hair extensions?

Hair extensions are strands of human hair that can be attached to your scalp through a
variety of methods, appearing as if the hair is your own. Hair extensions are used to
extend the length of hair, provide volume, or add highlights to your own hair.

What quality should I look for when buying hair extensions?

You should only buy Remy hair extensions which are a form of human hair that has been
grown in one direction with the cuticle intact. Silky and resistant to tangling, remy hair is
an excellent choice when shopping for hair extensions.

What are hair extensions made from?

Human hair is the most desirable form, Remy hair, has been cut from a human head of
hair, as opposed to residual hair that has fallen or been brushed off.

Can I colour or tone hair extensions my GHWE?

Yes you can colour Gorgeous Hair Extensions but please keep in mind the hair has
already undergone a chemical process and are designed to accept colour change. You
might want to test the colour on a few strands first to make sure the resulting shade is
what you anticipate. We also recommend using a semi permanent colour as it is much
more gentle on the hair extensions. However, all of these processes can affect and
reduce the quality of your extensions.
We DO NOT take any responsibility for unsatisfactory results achieved from dying or
toning Gorgeous Hair Extensions.

How long does my hair have to be to wear hair extensions?

Your hair does not have to be very long to enjoy the beauty of wearing hair extensions.
We’ve seen hair extensions applied to hair as short as 3” in length but recommend
starting lengths of at least 6” for best results.

Who can wear hair extensions?

Women of any age who want to add volume and length to their hair can wear hair
extensions. For women who want to dress up and have fun, clip in hair extensions, which
are easy to remove and easy to change, are the best option.

Will hair extensions damage my hair?

No. Extensions should not damage your hair if properly cared for and maintained. You
must take care in brushing; if you ever get a tangle; hold the hair while you brush it and
brush section by section.

How much hair do I need to order?

Each person is different. It really depends on how thick you want your end result to be,
where the extensions are being placed, how it is being applied, styled or cut.

How long will my hair extensions last?

Each person is different, depending on climate, water, products used, care for the hair,
brushing, using blow dryers and hot irons, how it was applied, swimming, how often
washed, etc. Clip In hair extensions are reusable, so they can last you over a year plus.
Tape, I Tip, Weft Hair Extensions will give you 3 months wear and than you would need
to take them out and relfit them they will give an additional 3-5 extra applications.
Tapes, Wefts, I Tips and Clip ins can last 1 year to 2 years depending on how well they
are looked after.

Are hair extensions permanent or temporary?

Permanent hair extensions—Hair extensions are never “permanent” in the true sense of
the word but can last for months. Compared to clip in hair extensions, the bonding
process used to affix hair extensions to the scalp has a much more “permanent” effect.


Clip in hair extensions—For those seeking a quick change that can be undone on
demand, clip in hair extensions are the answer.

Are cheap hair extensions worth buying?

Let’s define cheap hair extensions: If “cheap” means “affordable”, Gorgeous hair
extensions are “cheap”, made from the finest human hair and competitively priced. If
“cheap hair extensions” are those made from synthetic or low-grade human hair, these
are not worth buying.

How do you apply hair extensions?

There are many ways to adhere the hair extensions to your scalp. Most should be done
in a professional salon, while the clip in hair extensions can be quickly inserted at home:


Tape: Is applied onto the weft portion of the hair extension and then pressed into
position at the root of your hair.


Weaving: This process is created using a cornrow or track around the head and close to
the scalp. The hair weft is then sewn on to the tracks.


I Tips: Is done in strand sections using beads and a crimping tool, each strand-by-strand
hair extension is added directly to your own hair.


Clip in: Using small snap-on clips that have been sewn onto the hair extensions, these
can be quickly inserted into the hair without the help from a professional.

brushing, using blow dryers and hot irons, how it was applied, swimming, how often
washed, etc. Clip ins can last 1 year to 2 years depending on how well they are looked
after. At GHWEO we use the highest grade of remy hair, therefore you will be assured
our hair will go above and beyond your expectations to ensure you get the most use out
of your new luscious locks..

Do I need to wash my clip in hair extensions? How do I wash them?

Yes you can, Wash the hair in one direction; from top to bottom. Avoid washing hair
upside down in the sink. Always wash your hair straight away after swimming or carry
some conditioner to soften the hair before washing it. We only recommend washing your
extensions if they absolutely need it. Hair extensions do not cope with the stripping and
harshness of products found in shampoos and conditioners as well as your natural hair
does. This is because human hair extensions lack the oily nourishment provided from our
scalp which constantly acts to coat and protect your hair from damage. Every time you
wash your extensions the natural oil content will gradually reduce affecting their quality
and lifespan. If your extensions are over washed they will become dry losing their
original softness and shine compared to when you first purchased them. We recommend
only washing your extensions if they smell or any other factor which may affect their
look and feel.

QUESTIONS REGARDING TAPE-IN HAIR EXTENSIONS

How long does tape adhesive stay in hair and what is the quality?

At GHWE our tape is of the highest quality having undergone numerous tests to produce
a product which is comfortable, durable and non damaging to your natural hair. Our tape
is known for its ability to hold your extensions securely and neatly to your head during
swimming, exercise, showering and washing. The lifespan of our tape extensions can
range from 8-24 months depending on how they are cared for and maintained. With
correct installation, GHWE tape extensions will remain attached in your hair for 8-10
weeks before they need to be removed and then refitted closer to the scalp. This is
recommended as your extensions grow out with your natural hair and may become
visible. Please avoid hair products, shampoo containing sulphate, conditioner, dyes and
oils around the bonds to minimise the tabs from loosening. For further information our
care guide instructions

How long does it take to install Tape hair extensions?

Our Tape extensions are uniquely designed to be easily installed by a hairdresser or
friend within 20–40 minutes depending on experience and amount of pieces applied.
Please visit Video Tutorials page for step by step installation videos.

How many pieces of tape extensions will I need for my hair?

The amount of pieces required depends on your desired look. If you are after a touch of
volume or colour we recommend 20 pieces(1 packet). For customers with thin to
moderate hair who want to achieve length and volume we suggest a minimum of 40
pieces(2 packets). People with moderate to thick hair we recommend using 60 pieces(3
packets) for a natural result. If you have extra thick hair or want to create extreme
volume we suggest starting at 80 pieces(4 packets).

How long do tape hair extensions last?

We use the highest quality of remy hair available, therefore you can be assured our hair
will go above and beyond the lifespan of other companies, at GHWE we only supply the
best remy human hair extensions. Depending on how well they are cared for and
maintained determines how long they will last. We suggest replacing your tape hair
extensions every 8 to 12 months. However we have had customers who have had their
tape extensions last over 18 months as they have been maintained and cared for
correctly.

Can I re-use the tape hair extensions?

Yes of course you can. GHWE tape extensions can be re used over and over again. They
will need to be refitted approximately every 8 to 10 weeks. Simply remove the
extensions, clean all residue off the bonds and add a new tape tab or piece from our
tape roll. Every time you re-tape GHWE extensions with our products, you are
guaranteed the same strength and quality bond you had in your first installation.

How do I remove my tape hair extensions and what product do I use?

To remove tape hair extensions you should use our specifically designed GHWE adhesive
tape remover. This product is a solvent made with ingredients to gently dissolve the tape
tabs for effective and easy removal. During the removal process the sticky bond is
broken down allowing the tape to easily slide off the hair.

Will tape hair extensions damage my natural hair?

Tape extensions will not cause damage to your natural hair if they are installed,
maintained and removed correctly. Tape ins are one of the safest methods as they don’t
require glue or braiding which can be harmful to your natural hair.
