We recommend a consultation before your keratin hair extensions so that we can go through your hair, colour, length, number of strands and the result you want at our salon in Stockholm.
Come with clean, dry and thoroughly detangled hair. Avoid oils, hair masks, conditioner and heavy styling products near the scalp before the treatment, as the keratin bonds need to attach properly to the hair.
We divide the hair into sections and attach small strands to your own hair using keratin wax/Nail Hair. The strands are placed carefully to give a discreet, comfortable and natural result, whether you want thickening, lengthening or more volume.
Brush your hair gently every day, avoid conditioner and oil directly on the keratin bonds and use heat protection when styling. Ideally sleep with your hair in a loose braid, and book a follow-up or removal after about 2-4 months, depending on hair growth and care.

Frequently asked questions
The keratin method attaches small strands of hair extensions to your own hair using melted keratin wax and a special heat iron. This creates very discreet bonds that hold the strands securely in place for a long time.
The hair extensions are made of 100% human hair, which is essential for a natural look and normal styling. The bonds are made of keratin protein, similar to the hair's own structure, giving a secure, gentle hold.
As the extension is human hair, you can style, curl and straighten it just like your own hair. Be careful to avoid applying heat near the keratin bonds, though, as they can melt and come loose.
Keratin extensions are excellent for fine hair, as the individual bonds can be trimmed down and adapted to be extremely invisible. The fitting does need to be done correctly, though, to minimise any risk of unnecessary wear on your own roots.
At 50 cm, this length is perfect for a dramatic, beautiful extension that still feels manageable day to day. For a full hair extension, 4 to 6 packs are usually recommended, depending on how thick your own hair is.
Always match the colour of the hair extensions to your existing ends and lengths for the most invisible transition. If your own hair has tonal variation, blending two different shades gives a more lively, natural result.
Human hair extensions can easily be toned or coloured darker, but we strongly advise against any kind of bleaching. Any chemical treatment is always at your own risk and can significantly shorten the expected life of the hair extensions.
A well-cared-for keratin extension can stay in for up to 3–4 months before it needs professional removal. Exactly how long it lasts depends mainly on your daily care routine and how fast your own hair grows.
Keratin bonds give superior movement compared with tape-in hair, as each strand is attached individually and can move completely freely. This makes it much easier to style your hair in tight, high updos without the bonds showing.
To keep your hair extensions tangle-free, always brush them thoroughly and make a loose braid before bed. Never go to bed with damp hair, as this can quickly damage the bonds and cause very bad matting.
