How should I wash my hair with extensions?
Use a salon-quality volume shampoo and only massage the area of your scalp that is extension-free. Avoid scrubbing the extension bonds. Wash out the shampoo only in a downwards motion.
Gently detangle your hair with a wide tooth comb or an extension friendly brush, such as a Tangle Teezer and always work from the ends upwards.
Apply conditioner from the mid-lengths to the ends, avoiding the roots. Rinse thoroughly to prevent product build up. After washing, gently pat your hair dry with a towel instead of rubbing. We love to finish by applying a light leave in conditioner or oil to the ends. Always use a heat protectant spray before blow-drying, we love the GHD bodyguard heat protecting spray. Never sleep with wet hair extensions, and brush gently once dry to prevent tangling.
Can I use conditioner with extensions?
Yes, apply conditioner to mid-lengths and ends only- avoid the roots and bonds.
This helps keep your extensions smooth without loosening the attachments. Conditioner is designed to soften and hydrate hair, but when placed too close to the roots and where your extensions are fitted it can cause slippage and product buildup.
Before applying your conditioner, squeeze any excess water from your hair then apply a small amount of conditioner on the mid lengths and ends of your hair.
Use your fingers to gently smooth it through, focusing on the dry or tangly areas. Then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water to ensure no residue remains. Afterwards, gently towel-dry your hair before blow drying. Using salon quality conditioner helps your hair stay nourished and support healthy looking hair.
How often should I brush my extensions?
Brush your hair at least two-three times a day with a soft bristle or extension-friendly brush. Start at the ends, untangle and then move up, finishing at the top.
Brushing in the morning helps remove any knots that may have formed while sleeping, while brushing during the day can prevent tangles caused by movement or clothing. Brushing again before bed is especially important, as it helps reduce matting and knots overnight.
Always use an extension-friendly brush such as a Tangle Teezer and start brushing from the ends, slowly working your way upward towards the roots. Holding your hair near the attachments will help to avoid pulling or putting any tension on your extensions. Be gentle whilst brushing and avoid brushing your hair extensions when they are soaking wet, as wet hair is more fragile. Regular gentle brushing helps maintain the extensions’ condition and extend their lifespan.
What products should I avoid?
Avoid oil-based or alcohol-based products near the bonds or tapes.
A little extra care can go a long way in keeping your hair extensions looking beautiful and lasting as long as possible. One of the most important things to remember is to be mindful of the products you use. Oils can cause your extensions to slip or loosen, while alcohol can dry out both your natural hair and the extensions themselves.
Instead, try to choose salon-quality, lightweight products that are designed to nourish your hair without weighing it down. These will help keep your hair feeling soft, healthy, and fresh for longer.
Can I use a hairdryer and straighteners?
Yes, always use a heat protectant and avoid applying direct heat to bonds. You can treat your hair extensions as you would your natural hair when heat styling. It’s important to protect your hair and always apply a good quality heat protectant spray before using any heat tools.
This helps create a barrier against heat damage and will keep your hair smooth, shiny, and healthy. When blow-drying your hair, try not to focus on one area for too long and make sure you dry the roots of your hair first.
Avoid applying direct heat to the roots near where your extensions are attached, as too much heat can weaken your extensions and affect how long they last. Using the right products and gentle styling habits will keep your extensions looking their best.
Once styled, hair extensions often hold a curl for a few days, meaning you won’t need to restyle them as often. This helps reduce heat exposure and keeps your extensions in great condition for longer, while still allowing you to enjoy beautiful, long-lasting styles.
Do I need to use a special pillowcase?
You don’t need to use a special pillowcase when wearing hair extensions, but there are a lot of benefits to using silk pillowcases. Silk pillowcases offer benefits for both your natural hair and hair extensions. Unlike cotton, silk creates much less friction, which helps prevent tangling, matting and unnecessary pulling while you sleep.
Silk also helps to retain moisture, keeping your hair smoother and shinier! While silk pillowcases aren’t required when you have hair extensions it can be an easy way to protect your hair, improve comfort while sleeping and support the overall health and longevity of your hair extensions.
What if my extensions start to slip?
Contact the salon to have them refitted - do not try to fix them at home.
If you notice anything unusual or concerning with your hair extensions after your appointment, we recommend getting back in touch with us as soon as possible. This allows us to assess the situation and advise you on the best course of action.
Depending on the issue, we may suggest booking a check-up appointment at the salon so we can examine your extensions in person, or we may be able to provide guidance and advice over the phone. If you find that your extensions have started to slip, feel loose, or if you have lost any, it is important to keep hold of them.
Please bring any loose extensions with you to the salon so they can be safely and correctly re-fitted at your next appointment. Prompt communication helps us maintain the quality, comfort, and longevity of your extensions and ensures the best possible results for your hair.
Can I tie my hair up with extensions?
Yes, but use soft scrunchies and avoid tight hairstyles that pull at the roots.
The key is choosing styles that are gentle and don’t put too much tension on the roots. High, tight styles can pull and over direct your extensions and may cause discomfort or unnecessary strain, so it’s best to stick with lower, more relaxed looks.
• A low ponytail is an easy, everyday option.
• Low buns are another great choice, especially for a polished or casual vibe, and they help keep everything secure and comfortable.
• Plaits or loose braids also work well and leave your hair with a soft curl.
Using soft hair ties and avoiding overly tight styling will help protect both your natural hair and your extensions. You can enjoy tying your hair up while keeping your extensions looking great and feeling comfortable all day long.
Maintenance & AftercareHow should I dry my extensions after washing?Gently towel-dry and then use a blow dryer on a low heat setting.
Start by softly towel drying your hair, squeezing out any excess water rather than rubbing. Once that’s done, carefully comb through your hair while it’s still wet, making sure to avoid the root area where the extensions are attached. For the first part of drying, it’s best to use your fingers instead of a brush, as this helps prevent unnecessary pulling.
Make sure you really focus on drying the roots thoroughly, as leaving them damp can cause issues and discomfort. Once your hair is completely dry, you can begin brushing with a tangle teezer, always being mindful not to tug on your extensions. If you prefer to let your hair air dry, that’s totally fine too, just remember to fully dry the roots first to keep everything secure and comfortable.
Is it normal to lose a few extensions?
Yes, minor shedding is expected, but excessive loss should be assessed by your stylist.
It’s perfectly normal to shed hair strands every day, the average person sheds 50-100 hairs per day.
If you lose any extensions make sure you keep hold of them if you would like them re-fitted at your next appointment. If you have excessive hair shedding, get in touch with the salon we may be able to provide guidance over the phone or book you in for a check-up appointment.
What Shampoo and Conditioner should I use?
You can use any professional range of shampoo and conditioner in Volumising or Clarifying. You cannot use a Colour Saving, Moisturising or Protein based shampoo or conditioner.
Make sure that you wash your hair extensions regularly - Shampoo twice and rinse out really well! Leaving your hair greasy can cause the extensions to slide out
Can I tie my hair up when I have the extensions in?
Yes, you can! But keep your up-do's to a mid-to-low ponytail to ensure that you are not over-directing the connections.
Can I leave my new hair extensions to dry naturally?
Yes, you can leave your hair extensions to dry naturally during the day however it is best if you can dry the connections of the extensions with a hairdryer. It is best if you do not go to sleep with wet hair extensions.
Can I use hair straighteners, a hair dryer, hot rollers and other styling equipment?
Yes, the hair used at Vixen & Blush is of the highest quality. It is 100% human hair. You are able to style it as if it is your own hair. Have no fear!
Can I go swimming when I have my hair extensions?
Yes, you can go swimming when your hair extensions are in. The hair extensions will look natural even when wet and no one will be able to tell that you are wearing them.
Can I dye my hair extensions if I feel like changing hair colour?
Yes, you can. The hair at Vixen & Blush is of the highest quality and can be toned. However, if you are attempting a drastic hair colour change, you should try some of the hair dye on both your own hair and the hair extension hair, as they may react slightly differently to the drastic hair colour change. We do not recommend lightening the hair.

Typically, we offer around 22 pairs of extensions, though the exact number can vary depending on the volume you’re hoping to achieve and your natural hair density. For clients with finer or thinner hair, fewer pairs may be recommended to ensure a seamless and natural blend.
If you have thicker hair or prefer a fuller look, additional pairs may be added. During your consultation, we’ll assess your hair and customise the amount to suit you.
Can I swim with tape extensions?
Yes, you can swim with tape hair extensions. We recommend tying your hair into a low plait, then rinsing it thoroughly with fresh water afterwards to get rid of any excessive chlorine or salt water. Then gently brush through to keep it in great condition. We recommend avoiding submerging your hair for long periods of time.
How are tape extensions removed?
Your stylist will use a gentle tape-remover solution that safely dissolves the adhesive, so the extensions can slide out easily without pulling or causing damage to your natural hair
Can I use hair oil or serum with tape extensions?
Yes, but make sure you only apply only to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair and never near the tape connection points as oil can cause slipping and fallouts.
We would recommend the below hair oils:
- Moroccanoil Original Treatment
- Milano Semi Di Lino Sublime Cristalli Liquidi
- Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil
Tape Hair ExtensionsDo tape extensions work on layered or short hair?Yes, tape extensions can be customised to blend with layers. However, the minimum length of your natural hair must be 4–5 inches or able to be gathered together into a low ponytail in order to have them fitted.
What makes tape extensions different from other methods?
Tape extensions are a great option for those who want a method with less commitment, to control their budget or have finer hair as they are lightweight in nature. Tape extensions lie flat for more comfort and are quicker to apply in comparison to other methods.
Tape Hair ExtensionsCan I get a partial application instead of a full head?
Yes, we offer a range of amounts of tape hair extensions from Boost (10 pairs) to Longer (22 pairs) and can be strategically placed for targeted volume or length in specific areas. This can all be discussed in your consultation with a senior stylist so you can achieve your desired results in the safest and best way possible for your natural hair.

We have recently completed an in depth guide to tape in hair extensions. You can find the guide by clicking here
How many micro rings are needed for a full head?
Usually 100–150 rings are required for a full head, but this does depend on the desired volume and thickness.
Can I swim with micro ring extensions?
Yes, you can swim with Micro Ring hair extensions, but it’s best to tie your hair back before getting into the pool or sea.
Securing your hair helps prevent tangling caused by chlorine. After swimming, rinse your hair thoroughly with clean water to remove chlorine, salt and other chemicals from the pool.
Having a simple post-swim hair care routine helps maintain healthy, smooth hair and reduces any dryness or damage from frequent swimming.
What size are the micro rings?
The rings are approximately 2.5–3mm in diameter and are colour-matched to blend with your hair.
Do micro rings make noise or click together?
They shouldn't make noise when properly fitted. If you notice clicking, contact your stylist for adjustment.
Can I have highlights with micro rings installed?
Yes, you can still have your hair highlighted with extensions in, just make sure you let your colourist know beforehand. They’ll need to work around the attachments and keep foils away from the rings, so everything stays secure, and your extensions remain in great condition
Can I Dye My Hair Extensions?
Micro Ring Hair ExtensionsHow much do micro ring extensions weigh?A full head typically weighs 100–150 grams, which is barely noticeable when properly distributed.
Can I use hair growth serums with micro ring extensions?
Yes, you can use them just try to avoid applying the product directly onto the attachment points, as over time this can cause deterioration or slipping. Using a dropper or applicator to place it carefully onto the scalp will help keep everything accurate and your extensions secure.
Micro Bond Hair ExtensionsHow many bonds are needed for a full head?Typically 100–200 bonds depending on desired thickness and natural hair density.
Micro Bond Hair ExtensionsCan I swim regularly with micro bond extensions?Yes, they’re one of the most secure methods for swimming. We just recommend giving your hair a good rinse and a conditioning treatment after exposure to chlorine or salt water to keep both your natural hair and extensions healthy
Will removal damage my natural hair?
When your extensions are removed professionally using the correct solution and technique, your natural hair won’t be damaged, it’s a gentle process designed to protect your hair.
Can I bleach or heavily process my hair with bonds in?
We don’t recommend bleaching extensions, as strong chemicals can weaken the bonds. Bleach is quite a harsh process and can permanently damage the extension hair, as well as loosen the attachments, which may lead to shedding or the extensions slipping out. It’s always best to check with your stylist before booking any chemical services so we can keep your hair looking its best
What's the difference between hot fusion and cold fusion bonds?
Hot fusion (micro bonds) uses heat to melt keratin, while cold fusion uses ultrasonic waves. Both are effective and safe.
Are pre-bonded extensions the same as micro bonds?
Yes, pre-bonded extensions refer to hair that comes with keratin bonds already attached.
Can the same bonds be reapplied to reused hair?
No, Micro Bonds hair extensions are a single-use, semi-permanent method designed to be worn for up to three months. After this period, the bonds are removed, and a fresh set of hair extensions are applied. Because Micro Bonds cannot be reused, new hair is fitted at every maintenance appointment.How do I know if my bonds are coming loose?
You'll feel them sliding down or see a small gap forming between the attachment and your scalp. If you spot this, book in for a quick checkup and we’ll take a look for you.
How many pieces come in a standard clip-in set?
A full set typically includes 4 panels of varying widths to create natural-looking volume and length.
Within a clip in set, you receive:
- 1 x 9” wide piece with 5 clips
- 1x 7.5” wide piece with 5 clips
- 2 x single sided clip side pieces
Clip-In Hair ExtensionsCan I work out or exercise with clip-ins?It's best to remove them for intense exercise as sweat and movement can loosen the clips which can cause pulling at the root of your natural hair.
How do I match clip-ins to my exact hair colour?
Visit our salon for a clip in appointment to have your hair colour matched to our range of Clip-In hair extensions.
If you are buying Clip-Ins online, you can send a photo of your hair in natural light, and our team will advise you with the best shade we have available.
Can clip-in extensions be cut or layered?
Yes, for the best result we would recommend having your seamless clip in set cut and styled with your natural hair.

Yes, you can book a Clip In appointment in our central London salon.

Clip-In Hair ExtensionsCan I dye my clip-in extensions at home?
Yes, human hair clip-ins can be dyed, however, for the best results and to prevent dryness or damage, we strongly recommend having your clip-in hair extensions coloured by a professional stylist experienced in working with extensions.
How do I prevent clip-ins from slipping?
Ensure your hair is clean (not too oily), tease or back comb the roots slightly for grip, and ensure the clips are fully closed.
You can also apply a dry shampoo or texturizing spray for extra grip. We recommend:

Style on Steroids Color-Safe Texturizing Spray
