FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are hair extensions?
Hair extensions are strands of human hair that can be attached to your scalp through a
variety of methods, appearing as if the hair is your own. Hair extensions are used to
extend the length of hair, provide volume, or add highlights to your own hair.
What quality should I look for when buying hair extensions?
You should only buy Remy hair extensions which are a form of human hair that has been
grown in one direction with the cuticle intact. Silky and resistant to tangling, remy hair is
an excellent choice when shopping for hair extensions.
What are hair extensions made from?
Human hair is the most desirable form, Remy hair, has been cut from a human head of
hair, as opposed to residual hair that has fallen or been brushed off.
Can I colour or tone hair extensions my Hype Hair Extensions?
Yes, our hair extensions can be safely toned or dyed as they are made from premium quality 100% Human Remy Hair. However, please note that bleaching or lightening the extensions may cause damage, shedding, and dryness. Our hair extensions have already undergone a chemical
process and are designed to accept colour change. You might want to test the colour on
a few strands first to make sure the resulting shade is what you anticipate. We also
recommend using a semi-permanent colour as it is much gentler on the hair extensions.
However, all of these processes can affect and reduce the quality of your extensions.
We DO NOT take any responsibility for unsatisfactory results achieved from dying or
toning Hype Hair Extensions.

starting lengths of at least 6” for best results.

How do you apply hair extensions?
There are many ways to adhere the hair extensions to your scalp. Most should be done
in a professional salon, while the clip in hair extensions can be quickly inserted at home:
Tape: Is applied onto the weft portion of the hair extension and then pressed into
position at the root of your hair.
Weaving: This process is created using a cornrow or track around the head and close to the scalp. The hair weft is then sewn on to the tracks.
Clip in: Using small snap-on clips that have been sewn onto the hair extensions, these
can be quickly inserted into the hair without the help from a professional.

How do I apply Clip in hair extensions? How long does it take to install them?

instant length and volume! Please watch our video tutorial for installation instructions.
Not sure which Clip-In hair extensions to buy?
The only difference is the length, weight and number of pieces in the set. Hype Clip-in extensions are thick from top to bottom.
What is the lifespan of my Clip hair extensions?
Each person is different, depending on climate, water, products used, care for the hair, brushing, using blow dryers and hot irons, how it was applied, swimming, how often washed, etc. Clip ins can last 1 year to 2 years depending on how well they are looked
after. At Hype hair we use the highest grade of remy hair, therefore you will be assured
our hair will go above and beyond your expectations to ensure you get the most use out of your new luscious locks..
Do I need to wash my clip in hair extensions? How do I wash them?
Yes, you can wash the hair in one direction; from top to bottom. Avoid washing hair
upside down in the sink. Always wash your hair straight away after swimming or carry
some conditioner to soften the hair before washing it. We only recommend washing your extensions if they absolutely need it. Hair extensions do not cope with the stripping and harshness of products found in shampoos and conditioners as well as your natural hair does. This is because human hair extensions lack the oily nourishment provided from our scalp which constantly acts to coat and protect your hair from damage. Every time you wash your extensions the natural oil content will gradually reduce affecting their quality and lifespan. If your extensions are over washed, they will become dry losing their original softness and shine compared to when you first purchased them. We recommend only washing your extensions if they smell or any other factor which may affect their look and feel.
QUESTIONS REGARDING TAPE HAIR EXTENSIONS
How long does tape adhesive stay in hair and what is the quality?
At Hype hair our tape is of the highest quality having undergone numerous tests to
produce a product which is comfortable, durable and non-damaging to your natural hair. Our tape is known for its ability to hold your extensions securely and neatly to your head during swimming, exercise, showering and washing. The lifespan of our tape extensions can range from 8-24 months depending on how they are cared for and maintained. With correct installation, Hype tape extensions will remain attached in your hair for 8-10 weeks before they need to be removed and then refitted closer to the scalp. This is recommended as your extensions grow out with your natural hair and may become visible. Please avoid hair products, shampoo containing sulphate, conditioner, dyes and oils around the bonds to minimise the tabs from loosening. For further information our care guide instructions
How long does it take to install Tape hair extensions?
Our Tape extensions are uniquely designed to be easily installed by a hairdresser or friend within 20–40 minutes depending on experience and number of pieces applied. Please visit Video Tutorials page for step-by-step installation videos.
How many pieces of tape extensions will I need for my hair?
The amount of pieces required depends on your
desired look. If you are after a touch of volume
or colour we recommend 20 pieces (1 packet). For customers with thin to
moderate hair who want to achieve length and
volume we suggest a minimum of 40 pieces
(2 packets). People with moderate to thick hair we recommend using 60 pieces (3
packets) for a natural result. If you have extra
thick hair or want to create extreme volume, we suggest starting at 80 pieces (4 packets).

maintained determines how long they will last. We suggest replacing your tape hair extensions every 8 to 12 months. However, we have had customers who have had their
tape extensions last over 18 months as they have been maintained and cared for correctly.
Can I re-use the tape hair extensions?
Yes of course you can. Hype tape extensions can be re used over and over again. They
will need to be refitted approximately every 8 to 10 weeks. Simply remove the
extensions, clean all residue off the bonds and add a new tape tab or piece from our
tape roll. Every time you re-tape Hype extensions with our products, you are guaranteed
the same strength and quality bond you had in your first installation.

tape remover. This product is a solvent made with ingredients to gently dissolve the tape
tabs for effective and easy removal. During the removal process the sticky bond is
broken down allowing the tape to easily slide off the hair.
