What Impacts Hair Extension Lifespan?

There are a few things that affect how long your hair will last:

• Hair Quality – Virgin, cuticle-aligned strands will always outlast synthetic or mixed hair.

• Installation Method – Gentle installs = longer life. Tight braids or excessive heat can reduce lifespan.

• Care Routine – Just like your real hair, your extensions need TLC. Use sulfate-free products, detangle gently, and wrap at night.
