THE HAIR

At Shear Balance the extension hair I use is 100% human hair. The hair is made up of high quality cuticle in tact  remy hair, meaning the strands are all laying the same way. This is a key factor in having hair that remains shiny and smooth, and prevents unnecessary tangling. Every set of extension hair will last between 6-9 months or 3 applications. To ensure this duration the extensions must be cared for properly by following the care guide listed below.  ​

The cost of the hair itself varies by individual depending on the desired outcome length, density, and color. A consultation will give you an accurate price quote. The cost of the hair is used as a down payment & is needed in order for me to place the order for your hair.​

The Maintenance 

Wefts: Every 8-10 weeks after install you will need to come in for maintenance. This appointment involves removal, shampoo, condition, blow dry, install, & style. Hair extensions will add time to your regular hair routine. They do require a bit more time for washing, drying, & styling as well as a little extra care.

​

• Brush regularly, always morning & night, before & after washing, before & after putting your hair up.

• Use professional products from the salon. 

• Avoid spray sunscreens- even if not sprayed directly on your hair the mist WILL get on the hair and alter the color - especially for lighter hair extensions. save brands include Bare Republic & Sun Bum

• Use a leave in conditioner & heat protectant

• Heat style 350 degrees max

• Avoid high ponies, stick to low ponies, braids, or low buns

• Dry shampoo is a great option to avoid washing  often

• Blow dry roots of the hair after washing

• Use detangler after washing & brush from the bottom up avoid rough brushing to prevent slipping & damage

• Highly recommend coating the hair in conditioner & braiding before swimming in salt water or chlorine

• Silk pillowcases are great for not only the extensions but your natural hair as well
