Choosing a method
Nano rings use tiny beads and no heat or glue, so they're gentle on the hair and near-invisible — which is why they've become the most popular option for fine hair.
Tape-ins are quicker to fit and cost less, but need refitting more often. Whichever you choose, the quality of the hair itself makes an enormous difference to how long it lasts.
Ongoing cost
Extensions aren't a one-off. Most methods need moving up every 6–12 weeks as your own hair grows, and good-quality hair can often be reused two or three times, which softens the cost.
Frequently asked questions
Do extensions damage your hair?+
Fitted and removed properly by someone trained, they shouldn't. Damage usually comes from extensions left in too long, fitted too tightly, or pulled out at home.
How long do they last?+
The fitting lasts 6–12 weeks before a refit. Good-quality hair itself can last 6–12 months with proper care.
