1. Yes, Real Human Hair Makes a Difference

Not all extensions are created equal. If you want natural movement, long-lasting wear, and heat styling freedom, go for 100% full cuticle human hair—like the kind Hairlaya offers. It blends better, feels softer, and won’t shed or tangle like synthetic or low-grade mixes.

2. Choose the Right Method for Your Lifestyle

Hair extensions aren’t one-size-fits-all. Here’s a quick breakdown of some of the most popular methods:

✨ Pro tip: Talk to your stylist or Hairlaya team to find what fits your hair type and daily routine best.

3. Your First Install Should Be Done by a Pro

We know—you watched a million YouTube tutorials. Still, for your first time, go to a certified stylist. A proper install = better blend, longer wear, and less damage to your natural hair. Plus, they’ll guide you on how many wefts or grams you actually need.

4. They’re Low Maintenance—But Not No Maintenance

Hair extensions need love too! Here’s your mini care list:

  • Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner.

  • Avoid oil near the roots or bonds.

  • Always detangle gently (start from the ends).

  • Sleep with your hair in a loose braid or silk bonnet.

  • Wash every 1–2 weeks, depending on wear and styling.

Hairlaya extensions are reusable and can last up to 2 years with proper care—so treat them right!

5. Color Matching Matters

The right shade makes or breaks the blend. With Hairlaya‘s 32 trending colors (including rooted, ash, piano blends), you’re covered. Still unsure? You can always request a free color consultation.

6. There’s a Learning Curve—and That’s Okay

Your first few weeks may come with questions like: “How do I brush this?” or “Why does this feel heavier than I thought?” Totally normal! Give it time, follow your care routine, and soon your extensions will feel like your own hair.

7. Don’t Skip the Removal and Reinstall Schedule

For sew-ins or tape-ins, most extensions need a lift or reinstall every 6–8 weeks. Don’t stretch it too far—your natural hair grows, and delayed maintenance can cause tension or breakage. Hairlaya wefts are strong enough to be reinstalled multiple times.

Final Thoughts:

Trying extensions for the first time is exciting—but it’s even better when you’re informed. At Hairlaya, we’re all about helping you feel confident, whether you're a DIY beauty lover or working with a pro. Ready to level up your hair game? We’re here to help every step of the way.
