Hair extensions are made up of either real or synthetic hair that are fused, glued or otherwise temporarily affixed close to the scalp. When applied by a professional hair stylist or extensionist at Vetceli’s Hair and Beauty Salon, they may last up to 3 months before requiring any attention.
More importantly, no one will know you've even had the procedure if competently matched & mixed in with your own hair colour and texture.
Experts advise that the more expensive (and longer lasting) human hair extensions are preferable to synthetic extensions, which generally do not take well to the extremes of heat caused by blow dryers or curling irons.
DIY Micro Ring Kits - Each hair extension is attached to a small micro ring. You simply pull a few strands of your natural hair through the ring using the loop which is attached to the hair extension. Once you have pulled your hair through the ring, the loop can be discarded. Then use the hair extension pliers which come with the kit to squeeze the ring shut. This extension method is quick and easy, yet provides a professional looking final result.
To remove the extensions you squeeze the ring open and slide the extension off.
There is no glue or heat and the micro rings are very small so they lay flat and are hard to see.
Hair Extensions FAQ’s
How easy are these methods to apply?
Very easy! The clip on extensions can be added or taken out in minutes. The micro ring extensions generally take about 2 hours to apply depending on your hair type and style. We offer a professional extension service. Call 0207 928 6498 to organise an appointment or to find out more information.
How many micro ring extensions do I need?
Generally a pack of 100 will be sufficient. However, you may be better to choose 200 extensions if: your hair is thick, you have heavy layers or a bob cut, you are wearing 22" or longer.
Will extensions damage my hair?
Extensions should not damage your hair if properly cared for and maintained. You must be careful brushing. If you have a tangle, hold the hair while you brush it especially if your hair is fragile. Please Note: we will include hair care advice when you use our service.
Can I curl or straighten these extensions?
These extensions are 100% human hair so you are welcome to curl and straighten. Please note, heat will reduce the life of your hair extensions so we recommend you do not straighten or curl your hair on a regular basis.
Can I color these extensions?
Avoid permanent colour if possible on your extensions. As with any hair, dye will reduce the hair quality. Use only a semi permanent colour free from ammonia or peroxide bleach.
What types of products should I use?
We recommend TiGi, Bead Head and Cat Walk, premium hair care brand. Remember to use a good quality leave-in conditioner to keep your hair soft but don't over do it. Too much conditioner or any other hair care product can cause a build up and tangling. Avoid hair products that contain a lot of alcohol which makes hair dry.
Can I swim and go in the ocean?
You may go in swimming pools and hot tubs. It is best to wash hair right after swimming. Avoid getting hair in salt water as the salt can take all the moisture out of the hair and cause it to tangle. Add a spray in conditioner after swimming.
Will anyone know I am wearing them?
No one should be able to tell. With the correct application you will know they are there but no one else will.
How do I care for my new extensions?
We will supply you with information on hair care with your order.
Can I wear my extensions to bed?
We recommend taking out Clip In extensions before your go to bed. This keeps the hair from tangling while sleeping and they are easy to put back in. You can sleep with your micro ring extensions still in. Make sure your hair is completely dry before going to bed. It is recommended you wrap your hair together or gently tie up to prevent tangling.
Are there specific circumstances where hair extensions shouldn't be used?
We don't recommend using micro ring extensions with very fine or damaged hair. Clip In extensions are better suited to these hair types. Also, hair extensions can not be worn in X-Ray machines.
Can I create highlights and lowlights with these hair extensions?
Yes, this is a great way to save your hair from the damage colouring can do.
