How long do hair extensions last?

[annasent]

The lifespan of hair extensions depend on the type, quality, and how well they’re maintained. Here’s a quick breakdown:

1. Clip-In Hair Extensions

• Lifespan: 6 months to 1 year (or longer)
• Usage: Occasional wear
• Maintenance: Minimal; store properly and wash sparingly

2. Tape-In Hair Extensions

• Lifespan: 6 to 8 weeks per install; reusable up to 3 times with proper care
• Usage: Semi-permanent
• Maintenance: Professional reapplication needed

3. Sew-In (Weave) Hair Extensions

• Lifespan: 6 to 10 weeks per install; hair itself can last up to a year if reused
• Usage: Long-term protective style
• Maintenance: Regular scalp care and tightening may be needed

4. Fusion or Keratin Bond Extensions

• Lifespan: 3 to 4 months (not reusable)
• Usage: Long-term
• Maintenance: Professional removal required

5. Microlink or I-Tip Extensions

• Lifespan: 3 to 4 months; hair can be reused
• Usage: Long-term with re-installation
• Maintenance: Monthly tightening/check-ins

High-quality 100% human hair, like the kind offered by Indique, lasts longer and looks more natural than synthetic alternatives — especially when well cared for.
