K-Tips FAQ

  • What are k tips extensions ?

    Hair extensions are an innovative method of adding volume, colour, and length to your natural hair. Extensions provide you with endless creative opportunities to achieve beautiful healthy shiny hair.

    K-Tips (Keratin Tip extensions) are individual, strand-by-strand extensions that are fused to your natural hair using a keratin bond and a heat tool. Keratin is a protein naturally found in hair, making this method one of the most natural-looking and long-lasting options.

  • How long do K-Tip extensions last?

    With proper care and maintenance, K-Tip extensions can last between 3 to 4 months. After this period, we recommend a full removal and a fresh set if desired.

  • Will K-Tips damage my natural hair?

    When applied and removed professionally, K-Tip extensions do not damage your natural hair. It’s crucial to follow our aftercare advice and return for regular maintenance to keep your natural hair healthy throughout the wear.

  • How long does the application take?

    Application can take anywhere from 5 to 8 hours, depending on the amount of hair being applied and the desired result. We’ll give you a more accurate timeframe during your consultation.

  • Can I style my hair as usual?

    Yes! K-Tips are heat- and style-friendly—you can curl, straighten, and style them just like your natural hair. We recommend avoiding the root area with heat protectors and using heat protectant products from mid lengths to end before using a heat tool and brushing gently to avoid tension at the roots.

  • Do I need maintenance appointments?

    Yes. While K-Tips don’t require refitting, we suggest a check-in every 4–6 weeks to ensure the bonds are secure, your scalp is healthy, and the extensions are blending well with your natural hair.

  • How do I prepare for my consultation?

    Before your consultation:

    Arrive with clean, dry hair (This is so we can assess your hair)

    Be ready to discuss your hair goals, lifestyle, and maintenance routine

    Bring inspiration photos if you have a specific look in mind
