FAQ - I-tip Hair Extensions

What are I-Tip Hair Extensions?

I-Tip Hair Extensions are a type of hair extension made of individual hair strands bundled similar to a shoe lace tip. They are installed by using silicone beads or shrink tubes. These extensions can be applied to your natural hair.

Why They’re Convenient

Hair extensions are a fashionable option that can be combined with natural hair or applied in their place–either way they give you extra length without cutting your own locks. There’s no shortage of options when it comes to styling these pieces either; whether you’re looking for protection against bad weather, inspiration for a special occasion, or just some long-lasting volume at home there is an extension style out there waiting for you! Here are our top three picks when deciding what type of I tip extensions to purchase:

– I Tip Extensions for Enhancing Natural Hair–If you want a subtle enhancement that will blend in well with your natural color, this is the way to go. These extensions come already attached at one point and can be styled just like any other strand of hair would; they’re also great if you want added volume or length without changing up your hairstyle too much!

– I Tip Extensions For Adding Length To Short Natural Hair–When it comes to adding length on short tresses these attachments are perfect because not only do they give instant results but there’s no need to style them every day (they’ll hold their curl all by themselves!). The downside? They start off as really long pieces so make sure you have enough length to work with!

– I Tip Extensions For Special Occasions–These attachments are perfect for formal occasions and will provide you with all the thickness, volume and glamour that you’re looking for. They come pre-attached in a variety of styles so can be applied quickly as well as mixed together to create an even more polished look. The downside is their cost; they may seem expensive but when it comes time to pack up your hair accessories again these babies’ll still do their job without showing any signs of wear or tear!
 

How Much Do I-Tip Extensions Cost?

On average they cost anywhere from $200-$400 per application (depending on length). And if you’re going all over, it might end up costing more depending on how much coverage you need. You’ll also want to consider any upkeep costs like purchasing hair or products for both natural and extensions–that will depend entirely upon what type of extension(s) are purchased. 
 

How long do I-tip extensions last?

Typically these extensions are installed for a period of two to three months.

Can you reuse I-Tip extensions?

Yes–you can install them back on the same head after four uses (using silicone beads) and once (with shrink tube). The silicon bead option’s been designed to be gentle on your natural strands as well! Plus it won’t damage them when you take it out!

Do I-Tip extensions damage hair?

I-Tip Hair Extensions are designed to be gentle on your hair.

Safety Tips: Use silicone beads when applying this type of extension because it won’t harm your natural strands–it will just slip right off when you take it out. It’s important not to pull too hard while removing them so as not to cause any damage at all! If you need to remove them for whatever reason, be sure to moisturize the hair afterwards!
 

How To Use I-Tip Hair Extensions

For the best results and longevity of your new extensions, you should be getting them done by a professional stylist that has experience with the type of extension(s) you purchase! And it’s always better if someone who is experienced does this process for you–you don’t want anyone messing up your hair when there are so many other things going wrong in life right now.

 

Your stylist will first want to remove any existing hair extensions.

Next, they will create a horizontal line of silicone beads around your head–they should be about three inches apart from one another. You can measure out the length that you need with strands of ponytail holders or loops!

Afterwards, they will carefully place them along this row and press firmly into your scalp for best results! Keep in mind that if they come undone, it’s not a huge problem because they’re so easy to put back on after four uses (silicone) or once use (shrink tube). Then just use a tool to attach onto your natural locks wherever necessary! If you want even quicker install than I-Tip Hair Extensions offer then check out Clip In Hair Extensions instead! These attachments are easy to install and won’t damage your natural hair!

How to Care for I-Tip Hair Extensions?

To make your I Tip Hair Extensions last as long as possible, you’ll want to follow some simple steps on how to take care of them:

• Brush the extension with a natural bristle brush at least twice a day and every time before shampooing or conditioning hair. You can use baby powder after brushing if necessary.

• Shampoo and condition the hair according to instructions provided by manufacturer. Then rinse thoroughly in cold water until no suds remain–this will help keep silicone beads (or shrink tubes) from drying out or hardening prematurely. Dry hair completely; do not style while wet! Re-apply silicone beads or shrink tube to hair, and allow them to dry thoroughly before styling.

• Use a silicon-free conditioner daily for the first two weeks after installing extensions (or use every time you shampoo), then switch back to your regular conditioner

Caring for I-Tip Hair Extensions

     You should always consult a stylist for hair care specific to your hair and extensions, but basic care routines should always incorporate the following basic tips:

  • Sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners will help your hair last longer.

  • If you wear ponytails, messy buns, or up-dos, wear them loosely.

  • Use heat protectant if you can’t go without straightening or curling your hair.

  • Use a basic bottom-up brushing technique with the proper extension brush.

  • If at home styling is not something you can manage please be sure you book you appointments accordingly to guarantee a healthy hair care routine.
