FAQ — Keratin hair extensions in Peterborough
Click a question to expand.
1) What are keratin hair extensions?
Keratin hair extensions are individual hair extension strands attached using tiny keratin bonds. The keratin is gently melted and fused to your natural hair for a discreet, secure hold.
2) How long do keratin hair extensions last?
With proper aftercare, keratin hair extensions typically last up to 3 months. Longevity depends on hair growth and maintenance.
3) Are keratin extensions safe for my natural hair?
Yes — when applied by a professional, keratin bonds are lightweight and gentle. We prioritise hair health at every step.
4) Can I style my keratin hair extensions?
Yes. You can curl, straighten and style as usual. Use heat protectant and keep hot tools away from the bonds.
5) Will the bonds be visible?
No — the bonds are small and placed strategically for a seamless blend so your hair extensions look natural.
6) Can I wash my hair as normal?
Yes. We recommend sulfate-free products and gentle brushing from tips to roots to protect the keratin bonds.
7) How many strands will I need?
It depends on your current thickness and desired volume/length. During your free consultation in Peterborough, we’ll recommend a personalised strand count.
8) Are the extensions human hair?
Yes, we use 100% natural human hair — never synthetic — for the most natural look and best durability.
9) Can keratin hair extensions add both length and thickness?
Yes. Keratin hair extensions are ideal for adding length, volume, or both, while maintaining a natural finish.
10) Do hair extensions damage hair?
When fitted and maintained correctly, hair extensions should not damage your hair. We provide full aftercare guidance.
11) How long does the fitting appointment take?
Typically 2–4 hours depending on strands. We’ll confirm a precise time at consultation.
12) What aftercare do you recommend?
Use sulfate-free shampoo/conditioner, a soft bristle brush, avoid tugging, and keep oils/conditioners away from the bonds.
13) Can I swim or go to the gym with keratin extensions?
I do not recommend soaking your hair in chlorinated or salty water as this can dry out the extensions and damage them.
14) How often do I need maintenance?
Maintenance up to 3 months; if you extend the time and damage occurs, we are not responsible for it.
15) Will keratin hair extensions match my colour?
Yes — we custom match and can blend multiple shades for a seamless finish.
16) Are keratin extensions suitable for fine hair?
Often yes. Keratin bonds are small and adaptable. We’ll assess your hair health during your free consultation in Peterborough.
17) Can I use hair oils or masks?
Use light products mid-lengths to ends. Avoid the bonds to keep keratin secure.
18) What’s the difference between keratin bonds and other hair extensions?
Keratin bonds are discreet, customisable and long-lasting — great for natural results compared to bulky wefts or clips.
19) How much do keratin hair extensions cost?
