Why Your Hair Extensions Don’t Last (And How to Make Them Last Longer)
Introduction
Hair extensions can instantly transform your look, adding length, volume, and beauty. But many people complain that their extensions don’t last as long as they should. The truth is, the problem is often not the extension itself but how it’s installed or maintained.
At Manu Royal Touch, we specialize in invisible bead extensions, weft extensions, K-tip, and cabello methods — and today, we’ll share why your extensions might not be lasting.
Common Problems with Extensions
Sleeping habits: Going to bed without braiding or protecting your extensions causes tangling.
Wrong installation method: Choosing the wrong type of extension for your hair type can cause early damage.
Lack of maintenance: Not washing, brushing, or moisturizing properly can make them shed or slip.
Heat damage: Constant flat ironing without heat protectant weakens both natural and extension hair.
Solutions
- Select the right extension for your lifestyle (Invisible bead = seamless look, K-tip = long-term wear).
- Wash with sulfate-free shampoo and deep condition regularly.
- Use silk bonnets or pillowcases to protect hair at night.
- Visit a professional stylist for regular maintenance every 6–8 weeks.
Final Note
Extensions should make you feel confident, not stressed. At Manu Royal Touch, we install extensions that blend perfectly with your natural hair while teaching you how to care for them.
