About Hair Extensions & Suitability

  1. What is the difference between 120g & 160g extensions?

    The difference is only the weight. All of our extensions are made of the same high quality grade 100% Remy Human Hair. If your hair is fine to medium and/or you are looking for length and some volume then our 120 grams set is more suitable for you, this amount of hair is suited to finer hair as it will certainly be all the hair you need to get your desired volume & length. If, however, your hair is thick or you are looking for lots volume as well as length we recommend our 160 grams set, which provides even more hair. It will blend in with naturally thick hair and create lots of volume for all hair types.

  2. What are Clip-In Hair Extensions?

    Clip-In Hair Extensions is a quick, temporary “Do It Yourself” approach to hair extension system with no long-term bonding. Clip-In Hair Extensions are easily affixed and can be perfectly matched and blended with your own hair. Hair extensions are used to extend the length of hair, provide volume, or add highlights to your natural hair. All Clip-In hair extensions come in one or multiple pieces (wefts) of varying widths. These extensions can be clipped-in or out in minutes and are practically invisible. Clip-In Hair Extensions are by far the fastest and most affordable way to enhance the look of your hair without breaking the bank or damaging your natural hair.

  3. What quality should I look for when buying hair extensions?

    Remy Human Hair Extensions — Remy hair is produced using only the finest quality of human hair available. Our Remy hair is 100% cuticle correct (root to tip) and has been processed leaving the cuticle intact to prolong the life of the hair. Silky and resistant to tangling, Remy hair is an excellent choice when shopping for hair extensions.

  4. What is Remy Human Hair?

    Remy Human Hair is the highest grade of real, human hair that is a preferred choice for hair extensions, hairpieces and wigs, because it achieves the most natural look. So what does Remy Human Hair mean?

    Remy Hair is considered to be the finest quality of human hair because the cuticles are kept intact and not stripped, like in most other non-Remy hair extensions. Preserving the hairs’ cuticles and aligning them in a unidirectional fashion creates extensions that are completely natural in appearance. This process ensures that the hair remains super soft, shiny, silky and completely tangle-free throughout its lifetime.

    Luxy Clip In Hair Extensions use only the finest quality Remy Human Hair, which means that the hair has been carefully sorted after collecting from the hair donor to ensure all the cuticles are of the same length. It is by far the best quality of Clip In Human Hair Extensions on the market because of the care that is required and the time it takes to sort the hair so meticulously.

  5. What is the difference between synthetic and human hair extensions?

    Hair extensions made from human hair can be dyed, heated (curled or straightened), styled, washed, and treated like your own natural hair. Hair extensions made from synthetic hair are sensitive to the sun, don’t last as long as human hair, are difficult to style, and cannot blend in as well with your real hair. Expect to pay anywhere from $60-$85 for Synthetic hair extensions, and anywhere from $100-$500 for human hair extensions.

  6. How long do the extensions take to put in?

    Like mentioned above, the extensions clip in with little snap-on clips with combs on that are invisible once you’ve got them in. With practice, they should take less than 5 minutes to put in & about 60 seconds to take out! Detailed video tutorial on How to Clip-In Hair Extensions can be found here.

  7. How long does my own hair need to be to use clip in extensions?

    Different companies suggest different lengths, but we find that for best results your hair should be about 6 inches in length for the extensions to blend in seamlessly.

Hair Extension Usage & Care

  1. Who can wear hair extensions?

    Anybody who wants to enhance the length, volume and overall appearance of their own hair can wear hair extensions. Hair extensions are safe for men, women, and children. Hair Extensions is a fabulous choice for women who want to dress up and have fun: the clip-in hair extensions, which are easy to remove and easy to change, are the best option.

  2. When should hair extensions be worn?

    Hair extensions can be worn whenever and wherever you want! Clip-In Hair Extensions are an excellent choice for any formal occasion and regular every day use. Wearing hair extensions can easily reduce every-day hair maintenance, enhance the look of your hair and improve the overall appearance, which in turn will increase your confidence level. Clip-In Hair Extensions should not be worn while swimming or taking a shower, as this might ruin them a lot faster.

  3. How do you put in clip in hair extensions?

    The extensions securely attach to your hair with small clips that were sewn onto the hair extensions that clip & “hide” right under your own hair by small snap-on clips. The clips we use on all of our extensions are perfectly sized high quality clips with a silicone insert that ensures a tight grip and prevents them from slipping. Best part is that once fitted you will not be able to see or feel the clips because they are extremely light in comparison with most other brands.

  4. Can I colour hair extensions?

    Yes. Hair extensions have already undergone a chemical process and are designed to accept colour change. They can be colored at home or by taking them to get professionally colored if you’re unsure of how to do it yourself. We would advice you 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 more gentle on the hair extensions.

  5. Can I straighten hair extensions?

    Yes. You can straighten, blow-dry, curl, and style human hair extensions, just as you would your own hair.

  6. Can I swim with hair extensions?

    Although other brands advertise that it is ok to swim with hair extensions, we at Luxy Hair do not advice you to wear your clip-in hair extensions while swimming or taking a shower, as it will tangle and damage your own hair as well as the extensions.

  7. Can I wear Luxy Hair extensions to the beach or pool? Will they get ruined if they get wet?

    You can definitely wear Luxy hair extensions to the beach or by the pool ; however we wouldn't recommend getting in the water with them. (unless you have your hair up and won’t get it wet) Luxy Hair extensions are made from real human hair, so they won't get ruined if they get wet, however when wet, they might get tangled with your own hair and that would be damaging to both your hair and the extensions.

  8. What products can be used on hair extensions?

    Choose high quality products specifically formulated for dry and damaged hair, as they will keep the strands healthy and nourished. Heat protectant sprays, serums and any other leave-in conditioners or treatments are also highly beneficial and will prolong the lifespan of your Luxy Hair Extensions.

  9. How do I wash the Clip-In Hair Extensions?

    You can wash them as you would your own hair. Always use Shampoo first and then apply a generous amount of conditioner from top to bottom. We also recommend using hair treatments on them every few weeks, since the hair is not attached to your scalp it is not receiving all the essential oils it should be. Using hair treatments/masks will help keep them looking healthier and nourished a lot longer! Depending on how often you wear your hair extensions, and how much styling products you use, you will find that you won’t need to wash your extensions too often, about every 2-3 weeks. Best way to dry your hair extensions, is to lay them flat on a clean towel and let them air-dry.

  10. What’s the best way to store Clip-In Hair Extensions?

    For best appearance, clip-in hair extensions should be stored away when completely dry. Lay them in a flat position in plastic bags, or an airtight container, like a shoe box for instance, and store away from direct sunlight, preferably in a dark place, like a closet shelf, cabinet or dresser drawers.

Buying Hair Extensions Online

  1. What’s the best way to buy hair extensions online?

    There is so much choice when deciding what hair extensions to buy, that it can be overwhelming when making a decision on the best product for you. To keep things simple and to help you make the right decision, consider the following:

    1. Colour Choice – Choosing your right shade is important, so take the time to review our color chart and select the closest color to your own hair. Remember that if you have a unique hair color that is not in our color chart, that you can always dye your clip-in hair extensions to match your own hair perfectly. If you decide to go for this option, select an extension colour that is lighter than the final color required. You can then dye the extensions to the required darker shade: lightening hair extensions is harsher on the hair and will potentially cause more damage.

    2. Hair Quality – This is one of the most important considerations when purchasing human hair extensions. Hair quality varies greatly, with the best lasting 12 months and poor quality lasting as little as a few weeks. Firstly, make sure that you are buying Remy Human Hair. Which simply means that all the hair has been arranged so that all the cuticles are facing the same direction. By using this product, the hair is much less likely to tangle than non-remy hair. Non-remy hair will quickly tangle, becoming matted and unmanageable, resulting in money wasted.

    3. Use – You have to decide what you are getting the extensions for and if it will suit your lifestyle. If you want extensions for a school formal, wedding or any other fancy occasion, or simply want to enhance the length and volume of your hair on day to day basis, then clip-in extensions are the best option for you. Like discussed earlier, they can be clipped-in and out in minutes, are a much cheaper solution than adding permanent ones, and also do not cause any damage to your natural hair, unlike the permanent hair extension systems.

    4. Quantity – If you natural hair is fine and long, then we recommend getting extensions with less hair, which would be our 120 grams set, as this is a suitable option to create more of a natural look. If however, your natural hair is thick and short, then our 160 grams set is an ideal option to add volume and length and enhance your natural hair. Stunning hair with lots of volume is within your reach!

    Luxy Hair Extensions accepts the following forms of payment:
