At what age can you get hair extensions – Does it matter?

The best approach is to consult a professional who can assess your hair condition and help choose the most suitable extension method. A stylist will evaluate your hair health and select a technique that is lightweight, comfortable to wear, and looks healthy and natural.

Always opt for natural human hair – it offers far better quality than synthetic strands. This choice ensures a more realistic look and longer-lasting results. It’s also worth investing in premium-quality strands, as they will deliver a better finish, more durability, and allow for easier styling (including resistance to heat styling).

Mature women often look for long-term hair extension solutions rather than one-time or occasional use. That’s why we recommend the tape-in method – it uses silicone, transparent adhesive strips that act as bonds. Application is simple, the tapes are lightweight and non-damaging, and they remain virtually invisible – even when hair is tied up.

• Gently brush your extensions from the bottom up to avoid pulling or breakage – use special brushes with natural boar bristles
• Use sulfate- and paraben-free shampoos and conditioners designed for hair extensions, such as Hairtalk or careMe!, available on e-hairshop.com
• Wash your hair gently – never rub or wash in circular motions. Clean your scalp and let the lather flow down through the strands. Always wash your hair while standing upright
• Never go to bed with wet hair
• You can use a curling iron or straightener, but avoid excessive heat. Extensions can be styled to blend with your natural hair, but always use lower temperatures to avoid dryness
• Protect your extensions at night by tying them in a loose braid or ponytail
