What Are Hair Extensions?
Hair extensions, also known as ‘artificial hair integrations,’ are made from either 100% human hair or synthetic fibres. They add length, volume, and thickness to your natural hair. Extensions are perfect for:
- Special occasions
- Hair makeovers
- Adding volume to thinning hair
At Image London, we only use premium-quality human hair for a natural and flawless look.

How to Maintain Your Hair Extensions
Taking care of your extensions is critical to ensuring they look great and last longer. Here are some expert tips from our stylists:
Gentle Brushing: Use a wide-tooth comb or a soft-bristle brush to detangle your extensions. Start from the ends and work up to the roots to avoid stress on the bonds.
Washing with Care: Choose sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to maintain the natural lustre of your extensions. Avoid products with heavy oils or silicones, which can weaken the attachment points.
We have provided links to other resources on the importance of sulfate-free products:
Drying Properly: Pat your hair dry with a microfiber towel instead of vigorously rubbing it. Opt for the low-heat setting to protect your natural hair and the extensions when using a blow dryer.
Styling Safely: Heat styling tools like curling and flat irons are safe, but always apply a heat protectant spray first. Avoid excessive heat on the bonds, especially with keratin or tape extensions.
We have provided a link to another resource that provides good advice on what heat protection sprays to use for each hair type.
Regular Maintenance Appointments: Schedule follow-up appointments every 6–8 weeks to reposition or replace extensions as needed. This ensures your natural hair remains healthy and damage-free.
FAQs About Hair Extensions
Can I colour my hair extensions?
Yes, you can colour human hair extensions. However, we recommend consulting with our professional stylists to ensure the process doesn't damage the extensions or compromise their quality.
What's the best way to store extensions I'm not wearing?
Store extensions in a cool, dry place, preferably in a protective bag or box, to avoid tangling and exposure to dust. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing.
How do I choose the best extension for my hair type?
Our expert stylists at Image London provide personalised consultations to help you select the extension type best suited to your hair texture, lifestyle, and desired look.
Can hair extensions damage my natural hair?
When applied and maintained properly, hair extensions should not damage natural hair. At Image London, we use gentle techniques like nano rings and tape-ins, designed to be safe and non-damaging.
Are extensions suitable for fine or thinning hair?
Absolutely. Extensions like nano rings are particularly suited for fine hair, providing a seamless and natural appearance.
How often do I need maintenance appointments?
Maintenance appointments are typically required every 6–8 weeks to reposition or replace extensions, ensuring they stay secure and look flawless.
What is the lifespan of hair extensions?
With proper care, extensions can last anywhere from 6 to 12 months. Regular maintenance and the right hair care products can significantly extend their life.
Can I swim or exercise with extensions?
Yes, but it's essential to tie your hair in a braid or bun and rinse it thoroughly after swimming. Use a protective spray to shield extensions from chlorine or salt water.
What's the difference between synthetic and human hair extensions?
Synthetic extensions are more affordable but less versatile for styling. Image London uses premium human hair extensions, which look natural and can be styled like your own hair.
