Your own hair grows about a centimetre a month. As it does, the attachments move downwards and the weight ends up further from the head – which increases the pull on your scalp.
When do you need to come in?
- Tape: every 6–8 weeks
- Keratin: every 3–5 months
- Sew-in: every 8–10 weeks
Signs that it's time
- You can feel the attachments as soon as you start brushing
- Your hair tangles at the attachments despite daily brushing
- It pulls or feels tight when you wear your hair up
- A few strands have come loose
Why you shouldn't wait
An attachment left in too long starts collecting shed hairs around it. That creates matting close to the scalp that has to be detangled – and in the worst case cut out. Any time you saved by putting off the appointment, you lose with interest.
What happens at a move-up?
We remove the strands, clean both the hair and the attachments, detangle any matting and reinstall the hair at the right height. If the hair is good quality, the same hair can be reused many times.
