How Long Do Hair Extensions Actually Last?

No Sugar Coating, No Misconceptions...

If you're new to hair extensions, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Between the different types, methods, and price points, one of the first questions is always "How long do hair extensions ACTUALLY last?"

At Yovanka Loria Salon, we believe in honest answers, no sugar coating, no myths. Your extensions are an investment of your time and your money, so knowing how to care for them is the key to maximising their lifespan. 
 
So...no lies, no misconceptions and absolutely no sugar coating. Let’s talk about how long hair extensions ACTUALLY last.

The Lifespan of Yovanka Loria Extensions

With proper care, Yovanka Loria Extensions typically last 6-12 months. For some, they can even extend to 12-18 months, thanks to their superior quality and durability. 

Because we know life gets busy, we choose Yovanka Loria Extensions as they're designed for minimal maintenance without compromising on style or comfort. It's no wonder that they're the most sought-after product of their kind in the current market. 

Key Factors That Affect Longevity

  1. Quality of Hair: Yovanka Loria Extensions are made from 100% natural, human hair. Unlike chemically processed or synthetic hair, YL Extensions can be coloured and styled just like your natural hair.
  2. Products Used: Using professional, sulphate and paraben-free products that are not highly concentrated with proteins is essential. We recommend the Davroe or Evo range to keep your extensions healthy, shiny and in the best quality.
  3. Heat Styling: Always use a heat protectant when styling with heat tools. YL Extensions can withstand heat, but without protection or heat settings that are too high, they can become dry and brittle.

Why Some Extensions Don't Last?

Low quality often have a heavy silicone coating to mimic shine or a high quality finish to look good initially, but after 8 washes or so the coating wears off, leaving hair dry brittle and prone to tangling. With YL Extensions and the right products, you avoid this issue entirely. 

Tips to Maximise Your Extension Lifespan

  • Follow YL Aftercare guidelines provided at your installation appointment.
  • Use extension-friendly brushes and avoid harsh tugging.
  • Wash in moderation, use gentle, nourishing products.
  • Protect hair from excessive heat, sun, and chlorine. 

With these steps, you can enjoy luxurious, long-lasting hair and get the most out of your Yovanka Loria Extensions.
