1. What are hair extensions?
   Hair extensions are a means of adding additional hair (human, animal, or synthetic) to your natural hair. There are many methods of application.

2. Why do people have hair extensions?
Hair extensions are applied to enhance the appearance of your natural hair. They can be used to add any combination of length, thickness and body, and color.

3. Can anybody have hair extensions applied?
There are some scalp conditions that are unfortunately not compatible with hair extensions e.g., psoriasis, eczema, etc. However, the severity of these conditions can vary greatly from individual to individual and can be assessed at your consultation.

4. How long does my natural hair need to be?
This very much depends on your own hair type but ideally, your own hair should be a minimum of 10cms long.

5. Do you charge for consultations?
No, even though our consultations are very thorough and take up a ½ hour time slot, there is no charge.

6. Is there anything I need to do prior to the consultation?
To help us get a clear indication of your hair’s condition and type, it is important that your hair is freshly washed and dried on the day of your consultation. We also recommend that if you plan to change the color of your hair, you do so prior to having your hair color matched.

7. What can I expect at the consultation?
The consultation gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you might have and to discuss what you hope to achieve from your hair extensions. We will ask you lots of questions about your hair type and lifestyle and depending on your answers we will discuss your individual aftercare regime. To give you a feel for what to expect from our extensions, we will happily apply a couple of them free of charge.

8. Which hair do you use?
All the hair used by Growbrite is cuticle correct, Remy hair. The term ‘Remy’ means that all the hair strands are running in the same direction – from root to tip. If any of the hair is running in the wrong direction – tip to root – the unaligned cuticles will cause friction and the hair will be knotty, matted, and totally unmanageable.

9. Can the hair be reapplied?
Our hair is of such exceptional quality that it can be reused multiple times, thereby lowering the cost of subsequent reapplications. Although our Indian Temple hair is of the highest quality it is not suitable for reapplication.

10. What is loose hair?
A lot of hair extensions are bought ‘off the shelf and come ready to apply, either preboned or wafted. This is almost exclusively the case with all types of micro rings, ‘locks’, nano rings, wefts, weaves, etc. As the name suggests, loose (also known as bulk) hair does not have any attachment and is sold in bundles simply held together with twine.

11. What are hand-blended hair extensions?
Your hair is made up of lots of different colors, tones, and high and low lights. Even black hair is seldom a single, flat color. And because of the amazing variety of colors available, from blue-black to platinum blonde, and everything in between, the possible combination of colors is infinite. At GrowBrite we select hair from a variety of colors, in varying quantities and carefully blend them together to perfectly recreate your individual colors, tones, and high and low lights. Not all hair extension salons that use loose hair blend it, instead they ‘pick’ each hair extension from a single color. This may look OK from a distance but up close the results can be disappointing.
