Fusion extension maintenance

From what I've read, I'd say definitely go with good quality (I personally love Biolage but ask your stylist for his/her recommendation) mosturizing shampoo&conditioner, deep condition 1x/week, and definitely buy a loop brush which is the only kind you can use to comb at your roots and through the extensions.
Definitely keep heat styling to a low, and when you do make sure it doesn't touch the extensions. This goes ESPECIALLY if you are getting hot fusion (as opposed to cold fusion)

Well that's all I can think of for now. I'm sure the stylist will tell you more details.

When I had fusion, the bonds lasted for a long time, but you definitely wouldn't want to leave them in longer than 12 weeks.

That depends on the type of hair extensions, which basically has already been said.
If you get the microlinks/eurolocs/microrings,etc. (COLD fusion, usually) put in- the kind that doesn't use glue, but has the little metal thing put in with a clamp, it can usually be re used a few times and you'd go inf or maintenance I'd say every month or two, depending on the stylist, to put them up. The problem with that and why it may not always work out that way is that since you lose hair everyday, there will be less hair that the extension is attached to over some time , so eventually (maybe sooner than later) it'll just have to be completely re done.

Another type of "cold fusion" is great lengths and so.cap. To the best of my knowledge, great lengths can't be re used, hot or cold, but don't quote me on that. However, I know for a fact that so.cap has to be re put in after a few months, though I know you can get touch ups for them a few times. But the hair for it can't be re used.

Make SURE that you find this out, make it one of the first questions you ask potential hair stylists, as it has a lot to do with how much you're going to pay if you plan to keep them in for awhile. Ask if the hair is reusable, how often you need to go in for touch ups (and how much that is), and when it will need to be replaced.

Completly depends on the company or extensionist.

Hi,

I am thinking of getting fusion hair extension but was wondering what the maintenance is for them.  Will every couple of months I have to get them taken out and put back in again or is there a way to "move" them as the hair grows out...what can I expect when I go for my consultation?
